I decided to send Valve a quick email, and I think that everyone that is agains this happenign should do as well.

Good morning,

TechCrunch and TheInquirer are reporting a potential acquisition of Valve by Google.

Please say it isn’t so. I’ve been a fan of you company and games since you guys first started. I have been following your company and enjoyed your products all these years. An acquisition by google might seem like a financially good choice but technology and product wise it is not.

Valve has managed to remain financially

magitam: Google’s Non-launch of Chrome – do you think we should hold Google accountable for their broken promise? http://life.magitam.org.uk/2008/09/02/google-too-big-to-keep-its-promise/

Google has decided to create their own browser, dubbed Chrome. It is open source based on WebKit and powered by Google Gears. Another browser amongst many others. I don’t particularly care for most of Google’s products, thus I most likely won’t even test drive this product. I think, though, that Chrome will gain popularity, and it will be fast, very fast for couple of reasons.

First reason being – people, for some reason, are just crazy about Google and what it has to offer. They love to use their search…

Yayeee, finally the Twitter tool plugin for Wordpress, by Alex King, has been updated to add the options of being able to choose the digest post time. The plugin is still in beta, but it still works, and I am happy with it.

The only reason why I found out that there is a new version of the plugin is because I want to tweet (Micro post.) but I want my tweets (Micro posts.) archived. The only way to have the tweets archived is to use the twitter tool plugin, but it does daily digests. I find the post formats some what unappealing, and I really don’t feel like moding the source code to exclude the Twitter digest posts. This resulted in me avoiding Twitter and micro-blogging for most part. For some reason today, I decided to check for a possible update of the plugin, because I was hoping for a weekly digest option. Magically, not only there is a weekly digest option, but I can have both daily and weekly, And I can select the post times for both. If you remember some time ago I complained about how the Twitter-tool plugin would randomly generate the posts, thus missing tweets from the same evening.

I am very please with the added functionality and I can also get back to micro-blogging. Thanks Alex, even though you did not respond to my email!
