![]() ![]() If other portfolios are enabled, choose Picasa from the dropdown menu.The image will have a green icon next to it.You can export to Picasa images attached to forum posts or uploaded in assignments, for example.Configure the Picasa portfolio by entering the client ID and secret.Activate the Picasa portfolio by selecting 'Enable and visible' in the dropdown menu.Log in as an administrator and go to Administration > Site administration > Plugins > Portfolios > Manage Portfolios.The client ID and secret can then be used to configure all Google Drive and Picasa plugins. In fact, we shouldn’t be stopping at that, but disinvesting ourselves from those Google “services” that we can (two can play the game).Note: In order to use either the Picasa or Google Drive portfolios (also the Google Drive or Picasa repositories) an administrator must register their Moodle site with Google, as described in Google OAuth 2.0 setup, and obtain a client ID and secret. Maybe I should revisit Feedly, but somehow I harbour a prejudice that no independent, even a dedicated (but minute in relation to Google’s) RSS infrastructure will be able to mimic GR’s instantaneous delivery (those of you who remember Larry Wall’s rn program for Unix CLI will know what I’m talking about.)Īs for them disinvesting some of the other branches, perhaps we should distinguish between, say, Göögle Fiber (which involves either laying down cables, backbone to leaf nodes, or buying up the bandwidth on the other provider’s cables), and their purely software-driven projects. The more advanced of them, like Flipboard, want to make easily swallowed text snippets into magazine pages. At least it has a clear business model: £12/year for ad-free stream.Īs for Feedly, that was the one I first tried, then some 10? others, none has ever come near the level of ease of usability of GR. Peterson – existence of the Inoreader eluded me wholly, I don’t know how, but thanks for the tip, will try it out. But so far my personal experience is that Google is killing great products that shouldn’t cost a lot to J. They’ll probably spin off the car company from x labs and squeeze that with ‘make money or die.'” He estimated that more than half of the Google staff could be fired without an impact on revenue or product development. So google fiber will probably get a huge layoff. Eventually they will put in firewalls and then start layoffs and squeezing, unit by unit. then a few months ago, the org charts no longer reported to larry. At first all of the org charts point to larry, the people are comfortable. [Separately, a superstar programmer friend who recently quit Google says that the Alphabet reorganization will result in big changes: “Here is their trick: cut out big pieces of google, e.g., fiber, verity life sciences, x labs, etc. What about now? Has anyone found a good solution? What can the Adobe tools do? I pay for them every month but I haven’t comprehended even 1 percent of the features! ![]() Then there is apparently a silent failure because the album doesn’t show up in Google Photos (but if you retry 10 times it might).īack in February I posted about Google killing off Picasa and it seemed that there was no obvious replacement in terms of a seamless desktop/web application or a web-only application that actually does what Picasa used to do. Telling Picasa to sync a new folder to the web first results in an annoying prompt for a username and password (these credentials used to be saved for months if not years). Adding a photo to an album that is specified to sync to the web no longer results in an automatic update. Although Picasa continues to run on my Windows 10 desktop computer, one of the things that I liked best about it has stopped working. ![]()
