Thanks to the kindness of others, I now have my own Wiki page. (Strangely, MiamiLaw doesn’t routinely make them for any of its faculty, which I suppose is consistent with our ahem, rather quiet media strategy.)
It feels quite petty of me, but I’ve actually been bothered for some time that nothing I did ever prompted anyone to make one; the norm is that you don’t make them for yourself. So I am chuffed about this.
Thank you to the authors!
At least, I thought so….
As described in How to open blank documents/instances of many common programs from your browser, google is rolling out the .new TLD exclusively for shortcuts that “[t]ake the user directly into the action generation or content creation flow”. E.g.,
Many, many other shortcuts too.
The nice thing about this — besides noticeably reducing the time to open blank documents in Word or Sheets — is that because this is a DNS hack, it works in all browsers–it’s not just a Chrome thing.
Google is opening the .new TLD to all comers, subject to mild restrictions:
All .new domain names are required to comply with the .new Registration Policy, which features a usage-based restriction to ensure that all domains are being used for new actions. That means that all .new domains registrations must:
- Be used for action generation or online content creation;
- Take the user directly into the action generation or content creation flow;
- Resolve to the action within 100 days of registration;* and
- Allow Google Registry to verify compliance at no cost.
While anyone can register, domains that don’t comply with this usage policy may be suspended or deleted by Google Registry without refund. So be sure you review the full .new Registration Policy before you register your .new domain to ensure that it meets our policy requirements.
I sent in my form, and that seems to have done the trick.
Previously:
Next act in, Does Tripit Think I’m on a Watch List or Financial Sanctions List?
After I wrote in asking why my account was suspended, the Tripit help desk promptly sent me a form to fill out attesting that I’m me, and asking where I live and what my birth date is; they promised not to share it with any third parties. 
The form didn’t ask for any proof, other than my signature, but I’m sure it’s a trivial thing to validate the information against many commercially available data bases.
I sent in the form last night, and we’ll see how long it takes them to chew on it. Worst case, I suppose I can always open a new free account with a different email address. I’ve got several…
Admittedly, its been a long time since I tried to use Tripit, the handy travel itinerary planner site. Today I noticed that my Tripit widget on my phone wanted me to re-login, so I tried to do that. Didn’t work.
OK, maybe I have the wrong password, let’s try the web version. Password manager confirms I have the right password, but still no dice:
OK, maybe the link to the help page will explain this?
Well, that’s odd.
Seems to me there are four possibilities:
I’m betting on #2, but we’ll see. I opened a ticket with Tripit, and will report back if I hear anything. Then again, if they think I’m on some list, maybe they don’t even answer help requests.
Other possibilities?
Firefox’s update to version 107 destroyed my custom CSS for multi-row tabs. But the internet has an answer. These are the steps:
Worked for me.
