The trick is to start producing Marine units right away. That way you can guard your infotanium generating search results for long enough until you can produce some heavier units. Also, don't skimp on air defense. If you don't have something set up beforehand, you'll get cut to ribbons when the V's start flying in.



Please note that these strategies may not pertain to this timeline.

Kind of off topic, but is anyone else having trouble accessing Google from Firefox?

Ever since the last browser update, I haven't been able to access the Google site and ONLY the Google site. Everything else works fine. (yes, i have tried disabling add ons).

I had the pleasure of studying some of Windsor McCay's work in a Comics & Cartoons course a few years ago. I think he would have been pleased with this take on the work, especially that it plays with the medium.

Using Google voice web interface, you can send texts. I start typing and the usual counter below starts counting down from 160 characters so I know how much is left. I paste in a slightly longer message, and it changes to 2.117, meaning that it'll split it across two messages, and I have 117 left on the second message.

Cool, I think. I'll paste in a whole email.

It changes the counter to Really?

There's a Google Doodle today honoring the 107th birthday of RDML Grace Harper. If you are reading this you owe her a big thanks, she created the first compiler, COBAL, and is responsible for the "bugs" and "debugging" being used in the field of computers.

I'm proud to say that I actually had a conversation with Admiral Hopper. (Admittedly, I didn't add much to the conversation.) She told me about how she used to carry around a length of wire to show the less technically proficient officers how long a nanosecond was and that's why it took so long to get a signal to and from a satellite.

As for debugging, here's the picture of it from Wikipedia:

I spent about 12min before going to work filling it in, except for a couple words, then I hit the back arrow and got frustrated because I would've had to fill all the rest back in again.

I have the browser set to discard cookies between sessions, so when I returned to the page it counted as "new tab."
Eh, I'll run through it again tonight. Kati's been on a crossword binge lately, so since I've been helping her out*, my brain is crossword-primed right now.

You can actually find pokemon on the Maps app, though. You just tap 'em and they're 'caught'. But yes, I assume the job offer, etc is April Fools

A few weeks old news but I only just found out about it. Google Drive significantly lowered their prices.

Link seems not to work. But, I wonder if this is because they've made Drive/Mail/Photos all take up your allocated space -I believe they were separate before; Google Drive had 5GB, Gmail its own limit, etc, but now they're all one package with 15GB. Since the average user is now more likely to hit a limit, especially with high quality photos, etc, it might make sense to have more palatable pricing for extra space. But, I'm just guessing at that.

Just a bit of advice, though. If you're using an older Mac, you may want to update your OS before taking advantage of it.

Google has failed on regular words. I usually only get empty search pages when I"m looking at obscure part numbers and such, but this time google returned nothing for "numbers associated with breasts" (I needed a numeric pun to play off someone else's mention of melons on facebook - and no, I didn't use quotes).

I suspect it might return something if I turn off safesearch, but I'm not gonna do that for this minor of a question.

Still, even with safesearch on that doesn't seem like a reason to return nothing...

Anyway, I went with the tried and true "8008" since I couldn't find something better.

Oh well.

RIP google.
