Murder in the garden….

One of the things I will really miss from Google+ is the brilliant macro photography of Sawana Prittipongpunt. I hope she is able to collect her work and find another home for it.

Patience.

I don’t understand people immediately leaping to other social media platforms — g+ isn’t slated to close for 10 months, and a lot can happen during that time. Indeed I will be trying as many different platforms as I can in the next few months, but I am certainly not going to commit to anything. Not only will things change, but I will undoubtedly change as well, as I think about what I really want.

Update: Google screwed us all over; closing is now April instead of August, with potential partial service loss even earlier. Their handling of this is crude and callous.

Convenient access to instant machine translation.

One of the most important features for G+, for me, is the convenient access to instant machine translation. It allows me to follow people from all over the world, and at least have a semblance of understanding what they are saying. This won’t be easy to replace.

Ray Davies

Over the years I’ve collected many CDs — several hundred. I’d forgotten about this one, until this song popped up in a playlist.
