A Look Back… Disaster or Triumph?
Guess what guys? Sector930.com is almost 1 year old. That’s right, we’ve reached that age where we get to shove our fists into a big cake, while all the adults (a.k.a, better blogs) take pictures and note how adorable we are. Let’s take a look back on the year to rediscover and admire our accomplishments.
We started out in my tiny, one bedroom apartment on July 29 of last year with an immature duel of posts between Edwin and me. Then, we introduced ourselves in turn before we started our famous journey through sex, back-stabbing, and money grabbing.
The Secret Garden is always open now…
During my normal lunchtime gleaning of the internet of everything news and technology related, I discovered that I had access to a fair amount of Google’s applications. This may sound strange to any denizen of the corporate or education sectors, but I work for THE MAN© and as such am fairly limited in things I can do whilst on the web. So, what applications does THE MAN© allow me to use you ask. Originally, I could only access Reader (which vastly facilitates my lunchtime reading). Now it seems that the gates have been opened and I can use iGoogle (a very Apple-esque name if you ask me), Docs, Voice, Calendar and Tasks (but only through Calendar). But what of Google’s first and in my opinion premier app, GMail? Well it too is available albeit through a widget in iGoogle. The one caveat to its use is that you can’t use it and the ‘Always https’ option at the same time. Thus I’m bereft of GMail until I choose to disable this option and even then the widget provides very rudimentary access at best.
