Your GMail address has a near infinite number of variations!
Did you know that your GMail address can be extended?
It can be a fantastic way to uniquely identify which source that gave away your address to a spammer, but more importantly - it helps you to filter your mail!
Let's say my address is mymail@gmail.com and let's say that I want to sign up for a newsletter for something useful - like a site for Silly Walk GIFs,
If I signup for the newsletter with mymail+SillyWalks@gmail.com- that is not only perfectly legal and working, it also means that the mail that arrives, has mymail+SillyWalks@gmail.com in the To: field.
So:
mymail@gmail.com
mymail+ebay@gmail.com
mymail+NYPost@gmail.com
mymail+ScaryWebSite@gmail.com
i.e.
mymail+SomeRandomKeyword@gmail.com
are all working, valid addresses which are uniquely identifiable by you.
Update
Wow, this post really took off. Glad you found it share worthy!
Caveats
I see many have pointed out that not all sites accepts the + in an email address, inspite of it being a legal character according to the specification. What to do? Complain!
If the spammers drop the +, and you always use it - you will still be able to spot them. Fortunately, GMail already is wickedly good at spotting spam - so in this case, it could be detected as a sold address - unless the +extension is removed from the mail address, but then we are back at relying on GMail to flag it as spam.
It is true that this does not eliminate spam, but as you correctly observe - it helps for tagging and filing incoming email.
Another method is to register your own custom domain with email account support and configure your own individual email aliases without pluses. This is not a free solution, though.
Works for MS mail too!
Big thanks to +Fred Ahrens who pointed out that the exact same mechanism works with hotmail.com and outlook.com as well. It should work with Google Apps, but someone has to confirm that.
Many also pointed out that the +sub-address is a feature which is a part of the email standard, but it is likely that it won't work on many custom domain mail address. Also, I didn't manage to get GMail to retrieve a +tagged mail from outlook.com
Thanks for all your feedback!

Just before Christmas, I spotted an Aluminum Bluetooth Keyboard for Nexus 7 that snaps on as a Cover. At less than US$25, I took a chance and ordered one from +DX+ (SKU: http://goo.gl/Pptmf) and posted about it (http://goo.gl/Lwwnm).
It arrived yesterday, and here are some first impressions:
Edit of Jan 10 post: Turns out the keyboard doesn't actually have an external aluminum frame, but it still is solid, and it still works well.
Summary per Jan 28: Worth every cent.
As a cover
The keyboard is styled the same way as the Nexus 7, including a back covered in a black coating with similar dimples as found on the back of the Nexus 7, albeit not as many. It fits snugly on to the Nexus 7 as a protective lid, although I think it is likely that it will dislodge from the N7 if dropped the combo to the floor, perhaps depending on the angle of impact. The keyboard is most likely not made from mil-grade aluminum, and it flexes a bit if I exert some pressure to twist it - but not more than expected, and it feels solid enough. The most important part as a cover - it does give solid protection for the display, without covering up buttons or ports.
Docking
The N7 drops easily into the slot and comes to rest at a fixed angle. It isn't stuck in place, so you can't really wave the pair about like a laptop - but it isn't wobbly either. I discovered one strange thing when docking it for the first time. If you put it into the dock section with the power/volume buttons on top - the magnet lock switches the N7 to sleep. Hence, you have to insert it "upside down" to avoid the N7 snoozing - not that it matters, as the display auto rotates just fine.
As a keyboard
Touch-typing is out of the question, at least without practice. For me and my sausage fingers, it will be two to four finger use, I guess. No wonder as the width is about two thirds of the alphanumeric part of a regular keyboard. Key travel was surprisingly deep and pleasant, and I haven't noticed any double hits or missing hits so far. I do find that I stare at the keyboard rather than the screen, but given that I haven't had much practice, that is to be expected.
National keys was easy to configure for the device in Android, so even if my Norwegian letters can't be seen on the keyboard, they are where I expect to find them. There also is an "Alt" key which works just like the Alt-Gr on a PC keyboard - giving me access to the remapped keys from the English layout. The keyboard also has "Back", "Home" and "Search" buttons.
Specifications
The documentation is somewhat slim, but it is in proper English and covered the questions I had.
The keyboard is water and dust proof, BT 3.0 compliant, works up to 10 meters away, can be on standby for 60 days and have an uninterrupted working time for 55 hours. The Li battery is 160mAh, and recharged through a regular microUSB cable (not included) - and said to have a life expectancy of 3 years. It is supposed to work between -10C and +55C, and be able to take 5 million keystrokes.
It also supports Apple devices with iOS 4.x or later or any other device that is BT3 compliant!
Summary
It looks to be a decent piece of gear worth the money, but only time will tell how durable it is. It will take some time to get used to - but I do believe that it is a very nice asset.
I'll post a followup in a few weeks, when I have time to get to use it some more.
Meanwhile, take a look at the photos below :)

Hi, and Thank You for visiting or following me on Google+!
If you are new to Google+ - there are a few points to take note of...
► Google+ is not Facebook. Your old friends might not be here (yet), but that is okay, since Google+ exists to bring people together based on their shared interests, and not only by social connection.
► You don't have to follow people back if they follow you. On Google+, we don't have to be friends, but who knows - we might actually go from random commenters to become friends if we share a common interest, and if we like what the other have to share and say.
► Don't be one of the #blueheads ! Add a photo of yourself, or a drawing, or one of your cat. Fill inn a little info about yourself and your interests, roughly where in the world you are, and what else you might like to share.
► Do you want your Google+ experience to come alive? Find someone to follow! How, you say? Do you know how to Google? ;) You can search for stuff on Google+ too. Search for People, brands or keywords and browse among the results. Spot someone making a post you like? Make a circle and follow them!
► There are some people you absolutely need to follow. These people - among many others - share knowledge about how to get the most out of Google+. To mention a few: +Rahul Roy, +Shamil Weerakoon, +Euro Maestro and +Denis Labelle. Browse their shared circle posts to find more interesting people to follow.
► +1, Comment, Share, and Post - To become a valued participant, you need to participate! +1 and make comments in other people posts. Share posts that interest you. Post about stuff that interests you.
► There is no wrong way to use Google+ - but we all have our preferences. Personally, I'm not huge on wisdom memes and posts about how you slept or what you ate - well unless you had a weird dream, or took a #foodporn picture of something delicious, or shared the recipe. I prefer when people leave Facebook confessions on Facebook. I also like it when people are civil, reflected and care to post a little bit more than smileys, lols and wtfs.
Again - Thanks for visiting! I hope you find Google+ as interesting and stimulating as I do!
Brgds,
+Lars Fosdal
(P.S. Feel free to share this post)

I spend way too much time browsing for things I don't need, and today I spotted something that I only seen for iPhones so far. I guess I'd want one if I had an S3 :P

Hei, og Takk for at du titter på eller følger meg på Google+!
(This post is in Norwegian. English version: https://plus.google.com/u/0/103128232230617819686/posts/D92EsZPm9ps )
Hvis du nettopp har begynt å bruke Google+ - er noen punkter som er verd å merke seg...
► Google+ er ikke Facebook. Dine gamle venner er kanskje ikke her (enda), men det er helt greit, siden Google+ eksisterer for å bringe folk sammen, basert på felles interesser.
► Du behøver ikke følge folk som følger deg. På Google+ behøver vi ikke å være venner, men hvem vet - kanskje kan vi gå fra å gi hverandre tilfeldige kommentarer, til å bli venner som deler en felles interesse, hvis vi liker hva den andre har å si og dele.
► Ikke vær en av blåhodene ( #blueheads )! Legg inn et bilde av deg selv, eller en tegning, eller et av katta di. Fyll inn litt om deg selv og dine interesser, sånn ca. hvor i verden du befinner deg, og eventuellt annet du kan tenke deg å dele med andre.
► Vil du at Google+ opplevelsen din skal bli levende? Finn noen å følge! Hvordan, sier du? Vet du hvordan man Googler? ;) Du kan søke etter ting i Google+ også. Søk etter Folk, merkevarer, eller nøkkelord - og bla i resultatet. Fant du noen som postet noe interessant? Lag en sirkel og følg dem!
► Det er noen folk og sider du absolutt behøver å følge. Disse folka - blant mange andre - deler sin og andres kunnskap om hvordan få mest mulig ut av Google+. For å nevne noen: +Google+ Portalen, +Morten Myrstad, +Ivar Choi Espedalen, +Rahul Roy, +Shamil Weerakoon, +Euro Maestro og +Denis Labelle. Les postene deres og se spesiellt på sirklene de deler for å finne flere interessante folk å følge.
► +1, Kommenter, Del, og Post - For å bli en verdsatt deltager, så må du delta! +1 kommentarer og poster som andre har postet. Skriv kommentarer på andres poster. Del poster som interesserer deg. Post om ting som interesserer deg!
► Det finnes ingen feil måte å bruke Google+ på - men vi har alle våre preferanser. Personlig er jeg ikke så voldsomt opptatt av feelgood-bilder med glupord på, eller poster om hvordan du sov, eller hva du spiste - med mindre du hatte en skikkelig sprø drøm, eller tok et #foodporn bilde av noe lekkert, eller delte en oppskrift. Jeg foretrekker at folk lar sine Facebooktilståelser forbli på Facebook. Jeg liker også at folk er høflige og reflekterte nok til å poste litt mer enn smilefjes, LOLer og WTFer.
Igjen - Takk for at du tittet innom, og jeg håper du finner Google+ like interessant og stimulerende som jeg gjør!
(P.S. - Del gjerne denne posten med andre)

Just before Christmas, I spotted an Aluminum Bluetooth Keyboard for Nexus 7 that snaps on as a Cover. At less than US$25, I took a chance and ordered one from +DX+ (SKU: http://goo.gl/Pptmf) and posted about it (http://goo.gl/Lwwnm).
It arrived yesterday, and here are some first impressions:
As a cover
The keyboard is styled the same way as the Nexus 7, including a back covered in a black coating with similar dimples as found on the back of the Nexus 7, albeit not as many. It fits snugly on to the Nexus 7 as a protective lid, although I think it is likely that it will dislodge from the N7 if dropped the combo to the floor, perhaps depending on the angle of impact. The keyboard is most likely not made from mil-grade aluminum, and it flexes a bit if I exert some pressure to twist it - but not more than expected, and it feels solid enough. The most important part as a cover - it does give solid protection for the display, without covering up buttons or ports.
Docking
The N7 drops easily into the slot and comes to rest at a fixed angle. It isn't stuck in place, so you can't really wave the pair about like a laptop - but it isn't wobbly either. I discovered one strange thing when docking it for the first time. If you put it into the dock section with the power/volume buttons on top - the magnet lock switches the N7 to sleep. Hence, you have to insert it "upside down" to avoid the N7 snoozing - not that it matters, as the display auto rotates just fine.
As a keyboard
Touch-typing is out of the question, at least without practice. For me and my sausage fingers, it will be two to four finger use, I guess. No wonder as the width is about two thirds of the alphanumeric part of a regular keyboard. Key travel was surprisingly deep and pleasant, and I haven't noticed any double hits or missing hits so far. I do find that I stare at the keyboard rather than the screen, but given that I haven't had much practice, that is to be expected.
National keys was easy to configure for the device in Android, so even if my Norwegian letters can't be seen on the keyboard, they are where I expect to find them. There also is an "Alt" key which works just like the Alt-Gr on a PC keyboard - giving me access to the remapped keys from the English layout. The keyboard also has "Back", "Home" and "Search" buttons.
Specifications
The documentation is somewhat slim, but it is in proper English and covered the questions I had.
The keyboard is water and dust proof, BT 3.0 compliant, works up to 10 meters away, can be on standby for 60 days and have an uninterrupted working time for 55 hours. The Li battery is 160mAh, and recharged through a regular microUSB cable (not included) - and said to have a life expectancy of 3 years. It is supposed to work between -10C and +55C, and be able to take 5 million keystrokes.
It also supports Apple devices with iOS 4.x or later or any other device that is BT3 compliant!
Summary
It looks to be a decent piece of gear worth the money, but only time will tell how durable it is. It will take some time to get used to - but I do believe that it is a very nice asset.
I'll post a followup in a few weeks, when I have time to get to use it some more.
Meanwhile, take a look at the photos below :)

A perfectly safe coffee mug
My wife found a couple of these "if-you-can-accidentally-spill-one-of-these-you-deserve-no-better" cups the other day. The cups even hold a little more coffee than my old mugs and are next to impossible to overturn.
I assume the cups originally were made for boat use, as they have a non-slip rubber pad on the underside - but they sure sit well next to my keyboard (or tablet) as well :)
Edit: +Tanja Glittenberg spotted the same cup in a Star Trek DS9 episode!

How our Solar System really moves
Being a part of the Solar System, we always view it from a fixed perspective. As in, we don't really imagine the Sun (the center of our solar system) to be moving too.
But let's say we "zoom out" a little bit then we'll see an extraordinary trajectory of the Sun and its planets. This GIF shows a high-speed simulation of the motion.

Suggestion for alternate display of private posts and Community posts in Profile/Posts page.
Today all my posts are shown in a single stream, mixing public, limited and community posts in one stream.
Since communities very well may be in the user's local language, it would make sense to separate community posts by community - both for me as a user, and for those visiting my profile.
My suggestion is to show the posts in a similar way as my home stream.
For me, it should show All, Public, Limited, and a More dropdown for selecting a Community - like we'd select a circle on the home stream page.
For a visitor, the Limited would show only non-public posts and communities that he or she was entitled to see.

Publish your own music!
Norwegian +WiMP Norge (an alternative to Spotify) launches WiMP DIY for people that want to publish their own music without going through a label.
What makes this really interesting, is that four weeks after your song has been released on WiMP - your song will also become available on the following services:
iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, Nokia, eMusic, RDIO, Deezer, Securycast,
24-7 (CDON, TDC Play etc.)
Digital (Musicnodes, Beat.no etc.)
No signup fees, but WiMP will take the "usual" 30% off the income.

When I see new users starting their Google+ experience, it seems like many are stuck on the idea that Google+ is just a facebook with a different name. I used to think like that in the beginning, and I even chanted the ”FU Facebook, let’s move to Google+!” mantra for a while.
After gaining more experience, I have chosen to treat Google+ and Facebook as two different systems for two different needs.
Facebook let you build connections through existing social ties, while Google+ give you the opportunity of making ties to people you don’t know, but who share your interests. You do not need to have a goal of using one or the other. Say Yes, please! I’ll take both!
Just between friends
I’ve dropped all Likes and Follows of brands and services on Facebook. I turned security up to water tight (visible to friends only), and in general pruned the contact list to real life friends and family. I can wring my soul and expose my inner secrets without random strangers twisting in their chairs, and I can peep on what family and friends are up to. I have to admit I’m not very fond of Zuckerberg’s social jacuzzi, but - family is family.
Public disclosure
I have adapted the opposite tactic for Google+. I go in at the deep end, and post about stuff that fascinate or interest me, workwise or hobbywise, and I use Google+ like I would use a blog. I’ve made a concious choice of posting to Public instead of limiting the visibility to selected circles or extended circles. Instead of posting to interest specific circles, I’ve tried to use #tags to tie the post to a topic, a profession or an area of interest. I follow brands, companies, and individuals in a wide variation.
Why should you post to public?
The first time you enter Google+, you will be looking for someone to follow. Old friends, celebrities, or experts in their fields. If these guys only have posted to circles or extended circles, you will simly see an empty profile. _How boring_ - you might think and decide not to click that Follow button.
Try to post something to Public now and then - to look alive!
Circles or Spheres?
Google+ is incredibly flexible and may very well be applied for “closed circles” too, but as I said - if you post something that may be of general interest, and that doesn’t require limited visibility - you will create more possibilities for a richer network of people that share your interests by posting to Public.
Friend or Follower?
When I circle you on Google+, it is not because I want to be your friend. You don’t have to circle me back. All we say by circling someone, is: ”Hey, It looks like you post stuff that interests me. I’ll follow you for a while to check out what you’re writing next!”
Silence or Storm?
If you post to a circle, and don’t have many followers - and then complain there is no action on Google+, you have missed something crucial. To get action, you have to parttake and create action too. Comment the posts of people that you follow. Use the +1 button to thank, confirm, like or applaud a post or a comment. Write your opinion in a comment, but be mindful of how it will be read. A constructive angle will be far more efficient than a hate post.
Share the posts of others - but do add your opinion about the post. That’s a good way to start good discussions and conversations. In the spirit of netiquette, a lot of us also appreciate proper references to sources.
Google+ is not Facebook.
It is far more than a place for old friends. It is where you’ll find new friends!
The best thing is: You can form your Google+ experience exactly like YOU like, so never mind my suggestions - just do it the way you like it :)
Have a nice Friday!

+Marco Cantù posts "2013: A Great Year for Delphi.
I am still deeply in love with Delphi, but - without rehashing all of non-tech - there are some trust issues after some fairly major let-downs in the recent years.
My advise for the next versions, is:
- Make sure you never again release technology that has not been properly matured and dogfood'ed. Want to draw us into FM2? Build some FM2 based tools that we actually will be using on a daily basis (such as a new QC).
- Take a close look at some of the newer units that have been added. There is quite a bit of sketchily documented and - IMO - poorly written code. Ensure that all code has proper peer design review and code review before unleashing it onto us.
- Unit dependencies - Some of the core units pull in way too much luggage which the linker can't get rid of. If necessary, split up the core units even more and perhaps move some of the initialization sections into explicit procedures that can be invoked from another unit's init section - so that people have more control over what gets bootstrapped into their project.
- Spend more time knocking off more of the long time standing issues in the QC system. There are a LOT of niggles and annoyances that should be put to rest.
- Revamp QC with a better UX and make it more accessible. Expose ALL known issues, not just those that have been reported externally. You might even find volunteers that would be willing to do the UX part.
- IDE stability. Any larger size project will eventually produce an out-of-memory situation. Why?
- Debugger stability under 64-bit. Need I say more?
I am very much looking forward to see what the future holds for my favorite bread and butter tool.

I am very much looking forward to see what the future holds for my favorite bread and butter tool.

Just got my new Plum Tee
I love +Paul Stickland's cartoons, and his cat is a perfect match for mine, so naturally I had to order a Tee from Paul's web shop at http://paulstickland.spreadshirt.co.uk/black-oriental-cat-paul-stickland-A19971166/customize/color/389
Paul, I love it! As you can see, +Strange Plum liked it too :)
