Bruno Lowagie's Online Gazette

Yesterday, I blogged about my first experiences with Google+, and I "complained" about the poor integration with other social media sites, such as Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook,... I used Twitter to promote my blog post. This tweet was automagically forwarded to Facebook and on Facebook, I received an answer from Diego Augusto Pinzon Carreño:

I checked the link he shared. It was in Spanish: Cómo usar Twitter desde Google Plus (How to use Twitter from Google+) and it lists four tools that help you integrate Twitter and Google+. I tried all four of them.

Last Saturday, I registered for Google+. I filled out my Google Profile a long time ago, and now this is integrated with a Google+ account, so I didn't have to add much extra info (which was nice).

I tweeted about it yesterday, but I was too tired to write a blog (parents have to recover too when their child has been in the hospital). In any case: Inigo is back home, and he's recovering well. We thought he would be confined to his wheel chair, but we're happy to see that he's able to move around in the house using his crutches. We only use his wheel chair when we leave the house. He still has to be careful because his leg is full of stitches (staples actually), and he can't bend his left leg yet because it's now one centimeter longer (instead of the two centimeters that were planned).

... an old acquaintance:

As predicted last month, the stats for June aren't as good as the stats were for May.

For those who don't see the difference with the the naked eye, take a look at the graph from Alexa:

This is normal: people are starting to go on holiday. July and August will show the same trend, and in September, we'll start getting better results. Nevertheless: June was better than April (the Easter season):

No comment:

A month ago, I'd been reading plenty of graphic novels, among others the "From Hell" series by Alan Moore. The "Jack The Ripper" story is situated in 1888, and I wandered through my library looking for a book about the same era, that's how I found the first book in this month's list:

As announced a while ago and repeated a good week ago, Inigo underwent surgery today. The idea was to replace his old prosthesis (the one that replaced his knee in 2008 as part of his cancer treatment) with a new one. The operation started at about 10:30 AM and would take about 2 hours. We saw people entering the Operation Room, and we saw the same people leaving the Recovery Room after one to two hours, but no word of our son.

Yesterday, I attended the event "The Future is Free" at the "NMBS loods" in Kortrijk. The "NMBS loods" is a nice location at walking distance of the station. In spite of the fact that the event was very interesting, the turnout was rather disappointing (I had expected to see more familiar faces: Ghent is only half an hour away if you travel by train). I hope this blogpost proves that Howest and The Studios deserve more attention in the future. Especially when they organize an event for free.

Strange: two weeks ago, I was a Networker with Klout score 42; today I'm a Specialist with Klout score 48:
