“Something’s not right” error message – the corporate firewall being too drastic.
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/04/15
Indeed the “Something’s not right” error message – Hangouts Help was right: the corporate network blocked some URLs.
Too bad, as it makes it increasingly more difficult to stay in touch with near-shore co-workers.
“Something’s not right” error message
Networks at businesses and schools are sometimes set to allow access only to certain web sites, like mail.google.com. This can prevent Hangouts from loading.
If you are on a network with restricted access, you may need to ask your network administrator to whitelist the following domains to use Hangouts:

Short Date Format Fix For Google Calendar™ – Chrome Web Store: from mm/dd to dd/mm.
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/02/01
You can set the long date format in Google Calendar, but not the short date format. This plugin does:
Changes the short date format in Google Calendar from [month]/[day] to [day]/[month] or the other way around.
It fixes this long standing bug: formatting – How do I change date format at top of day in Google Calendar? – Web Applications Stack Exchange which was reported in at least these places:
- Changing the date format above the day columns – Google Product Forums
- Date format incorrect in short form for Sweden (week view) – Google Product Forums

Mac: Google Chrome Helper excessive CPU usage
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/01/29
I’m not the only one with a Mac having issues with Google Chrome Helper CPU usage, but most of the entries are for older Chrome versions. So below are the steps I performed. There are also pros and cons are after the steps.
In chrome://settings/content, under “Plugins”, I ticked “Let me choose when to run plugin content” (it was at “Detect and run important plugin content (recommended)”. That dialog doesn’t allow you to copy it’s content, so no HTML, just this screenshot:
In chrome://plugins/ I disabled this one:
Adobe Flash Player – Version: 20.0.0.267 (Disabled)
Shockwave Flash 20.0 r0
Name: Shockwave Flash
Description: Shockwave Flash 20.0 r0
Version: 20.0.0.267
Location: /Users/jeroenp/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/PepperFlash/20.0.0.267/PepperFlashPlayer.plugin
Type: PPAPI (out-of-process)
MIME types:
MIME type Description File extensions application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash
.swf application/futuresplash Shockwave Flash
.spl Enable Always allowed to run
Pros of these settings:
- If you have a lot of tabs open (many of them suspended using The Great Suspender), then Google Chrome Helper uses far less CPU.
- Youtube doesn’t use the Flash Player any more. It now uses HTML5 which seems far more battery friendly and more responsive.
Cons of these settings:
- PDFs don’t automatically open any more, nor auto-download. You get something like this:

Google Podcasts might not be the quality you’re after, just like the YouTube replaygained audio…
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/11/16
Google Podcasts might not be what you’re after:
Podcast producers that are not too happy, saying that Google Play is going to downsample and re-encode podcasts down to a minimal 64k of audio quality. That is not good news. – Joe C. Hecht – Google+
Source: I sure am hearing a lot about Google embracing Podcasts, and how it is going to…
So just like on YouTube, Google seems to play the audio normalisation game again.

VidCast: Chromecast for the rest of the web
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/11/13
I know, friday 13, bla, bla, but this works great! VidCast: Chromecast for the rest of the web.
It works with: Vimeo, TED, and tons of other sites.
The first I tried is was a great half hour Devopsdays Amsterdam 2015 session “Leslie Hawthorn – Fear of Failing Fast: How to Avoid Sabotaging Your Success”
The easiest way is to drag the VidCast bookmarklet button to your bookmarks bar once, then for videos you want to watch:
