Strange Google Mail error on login

Strange Google error by quatzacoalt, on Flickr

For the past week I get this error when I try to login into my email account, hosted on Google Apps. It’s very strange because I’m the only one using this computer and I only have one Google account. For security reasons, I changed my password but the same keeps happenning. Anyone have the same or a similar problem? I would also like to point out that this doesn’t happen all the time! It’s a random thing, which makes it more frustrating!

Oh, Happy New Year too! First post of 2008

Το νέο Google Maps for Mobile τα σπάει!

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

Μόλις δοκίμασα το νέο Google Maps for Mobile στο Ε65 μου και είναι φοβερό! Έχει ένα νέο feature, to ‘My Location’, με το οποίο βρίσκει την θέση σου (με ή χωρίς GPS)! Στο Λονδίνο που βρίσκομαι η μπλε βουλίτσα ήταν 3 δρόμους πάνω από εκεί που μένω πραγματικά! Αρκετά κοντά χωρίς την χρήση GPS! Απ’ότι είδα μπορείς να συνδέσεις ένα GPS μέσω Bluetooth για μεγαλύτερη ακρίβεια! Το iPhone μου δεν έχει τέτοια κόλπα! Δοκιμάστε το και πείτε μου τη γνώμη σας! Δουλεύει σε Java-enabled κινητά καθώς και σε Windows Mobile συσκευές!

Duplicate feed items in Google Reader

Sunday, June 17th, 2007

Google Reader is my RSS aggregator of choice ever since it first came out. I’m very happy with it and I’ve never looked back to the days I used a desktop app to read my RSS subscriptions (I used Newsfire back then). However, during the last few weeks I’ve noticed an annoying ‘bug’. I get duplicate feed items on numerous subscriptions. If it was in only one or two, I wouldn’t mind because it can happen sometimes. This ‘bug’ however is all over the place! Anybody else having the same problem?

Minor update on Google Reader

Thursday, March 15th, 2007

I just noticed a small update on the GUI of Google Reader. The sidebar on the left which shows your subscribed feeds has been updated and now includes a ‘Refresh’ button on top. The link to manage your subscriptions remains at the bottom of the sidebar. Nice little update, looks a lot better!

Update: Noticed some more changes. It seems that many links within the GUI of Google Reader have been changed into buttons, such as the ‘Mark all as read’ at the top of the viewing pane. I love it!
