would you say yes to a Google OS?

if google told you today that: “hey since you like our services so much, why not check out our operating system as well?” would you do it?

chances are, a lot of people would say yes, and that is why I think Google might just go for it – the unspeakable – the unthinkable – make their own OS.

howto put google ads on a phpbb forum

I got to do something productive today! I finally managed to put Google Ads onto my project Broadband Exchange. I actually manage five or so PHPBB installations, but bEx (as I like to call it), is mine and mine alone, which allows me to a.) screw it up if I feel like it and b.) put humongous Google Ads again, should the wind blow in that direction.

I was supposed to write 2,500 to 3000 words about Google, which by two accounts I can think of, is a difficult task. 1.)

goodbye life. goodbye work. hello grand theft auto.

haaaaaay. title says everything. Un-believ-able game. Sordid details to come in the following weeks. Likely will add details of what happens when a game takes you away from pending obligations from work, friends and others as well :). I’m already feeling the effects of how it is to neglect your body by playing instead of getting much needed sleep – cooperative weather notwithstanding. Suffice it to say 4 day download of the 3.9gb install files well worth it.

One thing though:
