Hard Drive Prices Inching Lower

Still waiting for hard drives to get a little closer to the the pre-flood prices so I can call my build finished. It’s all working great, just want a wee bit more storage.

Replies and More Extension Updated

Matt Mastracci has updated his Chrome extension to work with the new G+ look. Thanks for getting this very useful extension up and running again!

In other news, Google has darkened the font color in the comments section to give the text more contrast for readability sake. Thanks for the update Natalie Villalobos

Would still like to see more circles across the top instead of “All” and your first two circles. Should be room to fit another four circles in the width of the posting space (card???). I wouldn’t think that would hinder the updated theme or affect those that don’t use Chrome maximized.

I know I procrastinate sometimes

But I’m doing better, I have my taxes done and still have 2 days to get to a mailbox.

Many expect a provocative act from North Korea after being embarrassed by failed missile launch

Seems to be some evidence that they are preparing for a 3rd underground nuclear test.

To prevent further embarrassment to the their country this test would need to go off without incident. To help ensure this, Obama should offer an olive branch to N. Korea by allowing them to test one of our nuclear bombs… A really, really large one.

Problem solved.

In keeping with the new G+ whitespace theme…

Expand this post to help G+ with their whitespace obsession

Much better

As you might have noticed, some parts of Replies and More have broken with the new Google+ re-design. The extension won’t cause any problems if you leave it enabled – once I’ve had a chance to fix things, it’ll automatically update and work again.

Anybody surprised when you got on G+ today???

Just got home a few minutes ago and haven’t had a chance to look it over much yet, but see a couple things I don’t like very much.

1) Seems to have killed the “Replies and More” add on in Chrome. That’s a shame, I really like that extension.

2) Can only see full stream, or 2 circles without hitting the More button. Seems to be quite a bit of real estate across the top that could be used to list more of your circles.

3) Speaking of real estate, I have a vacant lot on the right.

So I don’t seem totally negative, I think I will like the left sidebar…
