Feels kinda strange to not have the flexibility of a full-blown word processor that autosaves what I’m typing (Writely, see This Post), amongst other cool features. But Writely jigged me. I received an email (as everyone who had a writely account would have) saying I had to migrate across to my google email address .. naturally I did nothing about it until yesterday when I could no longer log in with my old account. Logging into my new Google account (not new really) I realised that none of my documents had come across. Now, because I only took a cursory glance at the email, I presumed a few things. Presuming is bound to get you into trouble. I presumed that Google new who I was.I presumed they would know both my normal email and my google email were linked, somehow, somewhere in the infinite depths of the data they store.And finally, I presumed that Google would be able to magically pull my current documents across to my gmail account in Writely. Bummer. It didn’t work out that way. And now I have no way (haven’t actually searched for people having the same problem, and there probably is some solution) to get at those documents. There weren’t a huge amount of documents, and nothing I really need .. but it was the start of building up a nice collection of writings. Big shout out to Clarion X today. John is putting together a nice site, lots of cool stuff. A serious bank of knowledge sits between his ears, and he’s putting the best bits onto the pages of Clarion X, so go on over, if you haven’t already, and take a look. Elsewhere in the news, we read that .. well .. I haven’t read much of the news this week, so I’m gonna get back to work. Cheers to One & All for reading these Odds & Ends, [...] [...] Odds & Ends Published by Stu 0 minutes ago in Development, Dev Shout, News & Opinions, Clarion For the first time in a while (yeah, it’s been a while between posts too, shame shame) I’m writing within the realms of the Wordpress Admin.

Dude, the web is dead. Long live the web. There's no more need for code, ever. Coding is a thing of the past. It's all about building stuff without any code. NO CODE. NONE. Wow. I guess some people think that way. Scary. Even just pretending to be in those shoes. Anyway. Yeah .. i kind of tried to see if a post with a teaser that had nothing to do with the actual post would work. Because by all sane laws, it shouldn't have been read much. People generally wouldn't care to go past the first page. So it was an experiment I guess. Something anyway. HTML?????? Dude, the web is dead. Long live the web. There’s no more need for code, ever.
