Sync Thunderbird with your Google Contacts

There are a bunch of add-ons out there to help you sync Thunderbird with your Google Contacts.

I want to share my favourite one with you.

Simply named, “Google Contacts”, this add-on automatically detects if you have a GMail account in your profile, and does the rest of the heavy lifting for you.

Honestly, it’s as easy as falling off a bike.

Get it here.

So a big thank you to the add-on developer, H. Ogi!

Blog Posts from Google Docs

So it turns out that you can publish Google Docs documents to blogs that groove with the MoveableType, Blogger, and MetaWeblog publishing protocols.

Like WordPress, for example.

This document that you’re reading, was published to my blog via Google Docs.

Cool.

Another Hurdle to #1 on Google…

So we have Mike Conley the Indiana singer-songwriter, Mike Conley the Olympic triple-jumper, and Mike Conley Jr. the NBA basketball player.

Now we have this guy. This Mike Connelly just came back from the dead.

That’s pretty hard to compete with.

Getting to #1 on Google…

So I just Google’d “mike conley”.

This site was the 20th result. Not bad, but I’d like to do better.

Unfortunately, I have to compete with a professional basketball player, a singer-songwriter from Indiana, and an Olympic triple-jumper.

Yikes. Stiff competition. Luckily, I seem to be the only “Mike Conley” programmer/theatre enthusiast…
