Delete specific cookies from Google Chrome on the current site (via: Super User)

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/06/23

Every once in a while, a site goes haywire on you and you need to delete one or more of their cookies to fix it.

There are multiple solutions to this, but I like the one below best because it only shows you the cookies involved with the site you are currently visiting:

On

  • Windows, press Ctrl+Shift-i.
  • OS X, press ⌥-⌘-i (which is option-command-i).
  • *nix, press Ctrl+Shift-j

Alternatively, open the Developer Tools pane from the Tools menu.

Open the Resources pane, and delete the cookies you want to delete.

Thanks akira!

Google Maps: Blue and Yellow Stars For (via: Kristian Köhntopp – Google+)

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/04/29

Kristian Köhntopp had a note post about Google Maps: Blue and Yellow Stars which he could not remove from within Google Maps.

In the end these appear to be bookmarks that you have to remove from Google Bookmarks.

He calls this a “complete UI disaster” to which I totally agree.

Thanks Kristian for sorting that out, as I did give up on that one.

knowledge worker tip: adding a Google Group to #Feedly using one of its RSS feeds

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/04/15

Today I learned that each Google Group has RSS and ATOM feeds. That allows you to add them to Feedly (a great online RSS reader that won a lot of market share when Google Reader got ditched).

This is how you do it (I’m using the Spring4D group as an example).

  1. Go to the group page https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/spring4d
  2. On the right side, click on “About” which brings you to https://groups.google.com/forum/#!aboutgroup/spring4d
  3. Copy any of the RSS or ATOM links and add it to Feedly.
