Here it is (I know I’m late!): http://mail.google.com/mail/help/customtime/index.html
Let’s you got back in time and send that email your forgot to send (even if it is 2 days old!). You can have it sent as unread or read and it will show in chronological order. That would be hilarious if this could work, however, this is all based on the user-agent and how email works. This would be considered SPAM. However, Google is good at thinking of different April Fool’s jokes. I almost believed this one. Nice.
This is GREAT! Looks like Google is at it again, as it is April 1st, April Fools day. They always make things seem real, but I realize it’s April Fools day - so my guard was not down. Apparently this new service is called Google TiSP. It’s the free fiber optic service offered by Google. Guess what?! It’s FREE! The catch? You have to install it. All you have to do is order the package and they send you the package and they send you all the cabling for free. How would you set it up? Well, first you need to know how the system would work; it runs through your house, like so:
Man, this is priceless. So, how do you install it?! Take the cabling (fiber cable), and flush it down the toilet. Now, you don’t have to worry, because this thing is patented with the new GFlush system, this is really the overall power of the system, this is how you connect to the other nodes :P. Wow, read all about it here.
Note: Remeber, this is their April Fool’s joke, this isn’t real.
Update: I don’t know. I stumbled upon this new Gmail feature also today. It’s called Gmail Paper. Being that it is still April Fool’s Day, and that people printing out emails is as easy as getting them mailed to you. Also, this would cost Google a fortune. Really, I don’t see how this could be a feature, so I’m calling this one a hoax; I guess we will have to see.
Alright, before I state why I love this song, I do have to say this: I don’t remember where I found this song, but if it offends you that I have it on my website, and you have proof that you own rights to this song, I will remove it - until then…
I found this awesome song called “Code Monkey”! It SO explains my true being (haha). I see myself as 50% code monkey, 50% programmer. My theory is, if someone has shared with the community on how to do something, and I can implement it into my home-grown code, then more power to me. I am, currently, a Data Center Technician at The Planet, so I do alot of SysAdmin work, but I do find myself more than “once and awhile” doing alot of programming. I tend to use PHP, mySQL (which isn’t programming, but is utilized within the other programming languages - usually PHP), JavaScript, and AJAX (I wouldn’t really call this a programming language - its merely just a few languages combined to create a nice technique); just to name a few. I go through alot of debugging and fixing this bug and adding this feature; trully an ongoing process.
Programming isn’t everything, there’s also the occassional markup, such as XHTML and CSS work I do. When I am referred, I also am hired to do side-projects for web-related projects.
Getting to the point - every programmer - ahem - code monkey - can relate to this song. So, whoever actually wrote and performed this song, BIG PROPS!
Update: This song is by Jonathan Coulton, per a Google search. Awesome stuff!
