No more OpenDNS

Friday, June 20th, 2008

After some encountering some problems using YubNub that I previously linked to the NoScript extension of Firefox, I noticed that OpenDNS might be the root of the problem. Initially, it was the anti-XSS feature of NoScript that was blocking the request.

The problem was: Some of my google searches being directed from YubNub, were being redirected to OpenDNS’s searches, which churned out useless results. I was using the “amr” command for searching Amazon Reviews.

Then I found these two forum threads.

That’s it for OpenDNS. I’m extremely irritated by this. I don’t like the idea of being under SingNet’s unreliable DNS. But this is extremely intolerable. It’s stupid. Now it’s time to look for a real Open DNS service.

Crap.

Suggestion for Google Notebook

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

I just sent this to Google Notebook via their feedback box.

I would like to see some common interface capabilities.

- Resizeable/”Hide-able” left sidebar (as seen on Google Reader)

- Options to disable keyboard shortcuts (on the mac I’m unable to navigate the text using Option Left or Right or Command Left or Right, I can’t move to start/end of the line or navigate by word)

- Options to hide the Formatting toolbar.

Another feature I would like to see is the integration with Gears. That would make it so cool. :) And it makes sense to have notes kept on the computer.

Thanks!
I love the Google Notebook application and I just want to make it even more usable for myself and everyone else. :)

Back to work.
