Google translation bookmarklet

without comments

I’ve been visiting a few foreign-language sites lately, and Google Translate is a great tool, if a bit awkward.

Google Translate bookmarklet

I created a bookmarklet that will point the site to Google Translate. I then added a keyword (”gt”) so that when I’m in the site, I can just press F6, and enter the keyword.

Japanese deviant art

These are “erotic” (but SFW) art by a 25-year-old fine arts graduate from Japan. The playful subjects are deceptively cute.

Coredump in Google search hits

without comments

I’ve been reviewing this blog’s site stats in Google Webmaster Tools, and found this in the query stats:

Top Google search queries

Interesting. I’m the top hit in [metawire account] (for the now-defunct Metawire.org site that offers free OpenBSD shell accounts). I also placed second in [chikkatalk], next to Chikka’s official FAQ page.

My PR stats are dismal. (I don’t really care about PR, though.) It was also interesting to find out what anchor texts were used to link back to Coredump.

Google phone in the works

without comments

A Google executive in Spain has confirmed that the search giant’s R&D is working on a mobile phone.

Rumored Google phone

Read the translated news item (I don’t know Spanish — except for a few lewd terms — but Google has to work on its translation efforts. “Movable phone” — that’s original. ;))
