I have been playing with Django lately. I came accross it as I was investigating and doing some development for the "Cloud" using GoogleApps.

This site was developed using Drupal and that was a reasonable choice in terms of speed of web site development and setup, at that time.

There is no doubt that we have a potential breakthrough in use of the Internet with Google Wave.

Having used the Wave for a few weeks, I am impressed. But my enthusiastic reception is tempered by the fact that things may not pan out the way I expect.

The wave is a more efficient combo of twitter, email and collaboration tool, of that there is no doubt and has been mentioned ad nausea on many reviews of Google Wave. It simply need to achieve critical mass to succeed.

Well,Google Wave is happening... The Internet is abuzz with Google Wave. Tweets about it are flowing. I think it may be the next big thing on the net.

Yet, I am still looking for an invite. As soon as I have one, I will register, play with it and report on it.

Meanwhile, if you can, please do send me an invite.

I like Google. I use many of Google services often and have been very satisfied with them.

ZuNOB has, till now, been using the AdSense service provided by Google. I think that, with this service, as from the 8th of April, 2009, Google is overstepping the boundaries characterised by their usual good, or even excellent, business and Internet behaviour.

Google bought DoubleClick and is now going to be using the facilities afforded by this acquisition. The net result of this is that users or visitors to a site displaying adverts by Google will be subject to some tracking by Google. This is a real threat to a user's right to his or her privacy.

Here is a Google e-mail addressed to this webmaster as AdSense space provider:

As of today, you can use OpenId to register and to login. This is not an anti-spam measure but an attempt at simply making it easier to login to this site by providing the ability to use a readily available single login for multiple unrelated sites. If you already have an OpenId simply use it to register and after that to login. If you don't, simply get one at a number of providers and register with it. Note that those who have some sort of accounts with some large companies, like Yahoo, Google, AOL, etc. already have or are capable of getting an OpenId through those companies.

Internet Explorer users cheated from a full Internet experience!

IE 7 (Internet Explorer), arguably the most used browser on the net, is not standard compliant as a result of which this site will not be seen, as it is intended to, by some Internet users.
