Google+ Birthday Wishes
Thanks to Google+ my followers will learn that I am having a birthday soon. I just received the popup below, so I assume you will be getting it soon too. Are you sharing? Do you think Robert Scoble will throw a wobbler about this in Steve Gillmor‘s Gang? 🙂  |

Flogs VC funding delayed #ical #calendar
Flogs, which offers a shared calendar and digital organizer system, went through another round of funding recently. They had already received €2M[1] VC funding from Lost Boys, Media Republic and Guerilla Games. The VC, who I have not been able to identify, has delayed the capital injection which Flogs currently needs. The VC cited the “current economic climate” as reason for the delay.
For Flogs, who are in their second year and have yet to turn a profit, this has meant that the purse strings are being pulled tight, which means they are losing some of their current staff.
Flogs are still looking for developers: Jobs @ Flogs

Did The LinkedIn Certificate Expire Again? #linkedin
For the last 2 years LinkedIn has been running a bad poor IT management department, this have been my headlines for the last two years:
I am so sure of LinkedIn’s incompetence, as with their product they won’t ignore a chance to punish their customers for wanting to use their services.
In about two hours we should know.
Flogs #calendar #ical
Michiel Mol, known for his Spyker Formula One team, is creating a new service called Flogs. Flogs is an iCal service, which integrates into Google Calendar, Apple’s iCal and can even send updates to the CrackBerry. The service is similar to iCal World, although the former includes exclusive data which is tailored to the user.
I’m wondering what the business model is, possibly advertising.
LinkedIn Certificate Expired Again! #linkedin
You would not believe it, last year today I wrote the article: LinkedIn Certificate Expired. And today it happened again, this time it’s not in a weekend.
http://www.linkedin.com uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate expired on 06/07/2009 19:41.
(Error code: sec_error_expired_certificate)
Will they learn from this for next year?
Thanks to Ali for the heads up!

Google Apps for CrackBerry #blackberry
I had a discussion this afternoon with a friend, she said that it would probably take a week to explore all of the googleverse. I obviously disagreed and said it would probably take closer to a month.
I was having trouble with synchronizing my CrackBerry and my calendar, and wanted to use some application to sync it, and I found Google Sync for your BlackBerry phone. Somehow it seems that Google uses something different for connecting to the Internet over all their applications. Both the GMail and the Google Calendar applications give me network not available, I have a similar problem with Opera Mini and FaceBook. Yet my GTalk works. AFAIK it’s something with http(s) connections.
I decided against reverse engineering.
- Google Sync for your BlackBerry phone
- Google Maps for your phone
- Gmail for your mobile browser
- Other Google Mobile Apps.

Non Daily Habits
I have trouble remembering to do things, like going to the gym, and when I do I generally procrastinate, like hanging up the washing. *stops writing blog and goes to hang up the washing* For myself I set alarms, calendar items and reminders, for me it’s easier to remember things I do daily than anything I do on an irregular basis.
So imagine my joy when I read How to Maintain Not-Quite-Daily Habits. The article contains 5 pieces of advise to make it easier to keep your habits:
- Make it daily anyway
- Use placeholder habits
- Chain Habits
- Make specific commitments
- Turn habits into appointments
Another thing I have in the house are whiteboards, they aren’t just for developing ideas and giving presentations, but also as handy reminder pads.
I can’t remember where I got this, possibly from LifeHacker.

LinkedIn Certificate Expired
For all you LinkedIn users, have you noticed that you can’t login or re-authenticate? This is because the Security Certificate expired today.
http://www.linkedin.com uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate expired on 06/07/2008 08:53.
(Error code: sec_error_expired_certificate)
It’s easy to call the guys from LinkedIn, which has Got A Billion Dollar Valuation and collected 53 million in the last round of funding, stupid.
This is a business risk, to mitigate this a simple calender item could be created which alerts at least a week before expiration. Naturally it would be better to have your own PKI system with which you could easily create a new certificate rather than rely on an external vendor for new certificate creation. Although some provide the facility to create a new certificate online. To have anything expire on any day other than Mon-Thu, preferably round 12pm localtime is really really bad management.
Naughty LinkedIn!
