Now that Yahoo Pipes is stopping, Chris Bernard rewrote his Dilbert/Penny Arcade/W.T.Duck feeds and published source on GitHub: https://github.com/cbenard/comicfeeds/
Feeds
If you use Feedly, and some (or all) pictures don’t show up for the Dilbert feed, then that is because of Feedly caching content. Use a parameterised URL fixes this: http://comicfeeds.chrisbenard.net/view/dilbert/default?something=something

This is getting ridiculous: G+ now completely stopped working. No CAPTCHA every couple of seconds after my laptop wakes up, but the screenshot below.
The “Unusual traffic from your computer network” – Search Help isn’t helping much either.
My computer isn’t sending automated queries. The Google related tabs (some 50+) in Chrome are, as they frantically try to refresh themselves when my laptop wakes up.
This is a Google and Chrome design decision:
It’s not my choice that this overloads the G+ system, so don’t bug me with that!

The article How to Prevent your Blogger Blog from Redirecting to Country Domains describes to prevent the country redirect from within a blog itself.
But what about outside readers that want to see a specific blog on the .com link?
One of the reasons they want to do this is that Google does not index the country redirected sites, they only index the com site.
I had this while reading http://delphisorcery.blogspot.com/. It kept redirecting to http://delphisorcery.blogspot.nl/ (as I’m based in Amsterdam; in Germany for instance it would redirect to http://delphisorcery.blogspot.de/).
But a site:delphisorcery.blogspot.nl search would return nothing whereas site:delphisorcery.blogspot.com would return the full index for the blog.
The trick is to browse the .com version of the blog with NCR once: http://delphisorcery.blogspot.com/ncr
If you do that, Google forces a no-country redirect (just like you can do with Google.com: browse to http://www.google.com/ncr), and it remembers that choice too.
Note that BlogSpot has not done this country redirect for ever.

For me there are two cool things about gist: it can have multiple files per entry, and it is version controlled.

These tips usually won’t help: What do I do if Dropbox is stuck syncing, won’t launch, or reports an error? (Dropbox Help Center).
This one does help, but you need to terminate the Dropbox.exe process through Taskmanager first: How to Solve Dropbox Problems Syncing – LockerGnome.
Currently dropbox sync stalls after 50-300 files are transferred.

Woot! Post 2400 (:
For my own reference.
My old stats: https://wordpress.com/my-stats?blog=7443331
My new stats: https://wordpress.com/stats/7443331
Hopefully the old stats stay for a while as they are far more useful.

For my link archive: the “old” stats page, as it shows more information in a better formatted way (especially on larger monitors) My Stats — WordPress.com.
The “new” stats page used only half the screen width (long live responsive layout): Stats ‹ 7443331 — WordPress.com.

Boy, I wish I had found out about this a long time ago.
Embedding source code in WordPress web sites has always been a pain, as the Jekyll & Hyde faces of the WordPress Visual & Text keep fighting about the content.
A few artefacts I stumbled upon on a regular base:
Not so any more: just put your code in a public gist, then put the Gist url in the code without making it an actual link. Read the rest of this entry »

Too bad the Markdown support from WordPress is a farce.
Below the horizontal rule is the Leak Check test from CommonMark. The rendering is even worse than the spec.txt rendering I posted before.
