Fridaygram
Fridaygram: "
By Scott Knaster, Google Code Blog Editor
Back in June we launched GoogleCL, an open-source utility that provides command line access to Google services. For our friends who live on the command line and think mice are something cats chase, GoogleCL provides a handy way to perform various tasks, such as posting to Blogger or creating an appointment with Google Calendar. Sample commands look like this:
Finally, spend a moment taking a look at this article and then ask yourself: have explorers really found the Millennium Falcon at the bottom of the sea? (Spoiler alert: no.)
Even when they cover serious topics like Google APIs and purported spaceship wrecks, Fridaygram posts are just for fun. Each Fridaygram item must pass only one test: it has to be interesting to us nerds.

Back in June we launched GoogleCL, an open-source utility that provides command line access to Google services. For our friends who live on the command line and think mice are something cats chase, GoogleCL provides a handy way to perform various tasks, such as posting to Blogger or creating an appointment with Google Calendar. Sample commands look like this:
$ google blogger post --blog 'Lemurland blog' --title 'Latest Madagascar trip' --tags 'vacation, ring-tailed' trip_post.htmlGoogleCL works with various other Google services, providing access to YouTube, Picasa, Docs, and Contacts without having to deal with that pesky graphical user interface. And now, thanks to Google intern Michael Sittig and our APIs Discovery Service, GoogleCL supports all Discovery-based APIs – a list that includes Tasks, Moderator, Books, URL Shortener, and many others. For example, you can use the URL Shortener API to create a new short URL like so:
$ google calendar add 'Order palm tree tomorrow at 10 AM'
$ google urlshortener insert --longUrl www.example.comAs long as our fingers are firmly on the keyboard, let’s talk about words for a moment. The folks who make the Oxford Dictionaries have created Save the Words, a way to preserve wonderful but little-used English words. At Save the Words you can see these words, read their often-hilarious definitions, and agree to use them yourself to help obstrigillate this trend.
Finally, spend a moment taking a look at this article and then ask yourself: have explorers really found the Millennium Falcon at the bottom of the sea? (Spoiler alert: no.)

Cloud Computing: Skytap Orchestrates
Cloud Computing: Skytap Orchestrates: "Skytap, the test and dev cloud automation house, has added self-service cloud orchestration and network routing features to its bag of tricks to reduce the time it takes to move complicated virtualized workloads to the cloud.
It’s automated the order in which users want multi-machine virtual data centers deployed or shut down and engraves those rules – including time delays – in stone so the sequence repeats itself. Like, say, Active Directory server first, followed by the Team Foundation server, the database server, the load balancer and the web servers."
