While trying to update Youtube on a friends phone, I was promoted that Google play services needed to be updated. Clicked to update and receive a notification that it cannot be installed to the default location. After playing around simply unmounting the SD card, then updating Play Services solved the issue.

So, Google recently launched Google domains.
It looks simple, the interface is clean, what more could we ask for?

But for all those companies offering domain registration, is google going to be cheaper and take all the business? Will google automatically be indexed higher when one searches for 'domains' or 'buy...

Laravel proved very useful within my project, the use of project dependencies with Composer made certain tasks such as PDF generation and testing much easier through development and with project deployment.
If you haven't tried Laravel yet, I would recommend it, especially if y...

Leancy was an investment site, probably mainly focused on bitcoin, but accepted money investments as well.
Like many suspicious investment sites around in 2014, they over a fairly high ROI in a short period of time. This follows the patterns of ponzi schemes and such, and therefore should always been taken with caution.
The main issue now is that since 12 March 2014, people have been unable to make withdrawals. You can still make investments, although why would you want to if you can't withd...

So, i've spent the past week or so getting my head around the new Google+ Signin code.
The 10 minute quickstart can be found Here. And while yes it does fancy javascripty things, it took me a while to figure out how to get what I wanted, which was the Google Profile data within PHP. The example does very well at javascript, but if you're looking for some sort of information within PHP that you can store to a database, or use against your existing login system, this quickstarter isn't the greate...

So, i've started working with the Google Plus O-Auth stuff, which some quick start guides can be found here: https://developers.google.com/+/quickstart/php
It was going rather well initially, then I started getting some 500 errors which weren't appearing in the error log.
Now being an administrator has its benefits, as I went and checked the Apache logs to find the cause of this error.
