Google’s new favicon

May 30th, 2008  |  by Thomas Nybergh  |  published in in English, internet, technology

Google has a fugly new favicon.ico. I liked the old one because of its relative colorfulness, and I find it somewhat puzzling that they chose to use a gray gradient in the new version.

On not noticing new Feedburner features, acceptable feed outsourcing and the inner nature of the Tubes

December 3rd, 2007  |  by Thomas Nybergh  |  published in in English, internet, technology, web hosting

As I was setting up my sister’s website I had one of those “How on earth did I manage to miss this?” moments: namely, the use of custom domains has been supported in free Feedburner accounts since early July this year. This is yet another example of how the Google empire is taking over the [...]
