I've been a software developer for nearly 30 years in one form or another. I learnt Pascal at University and my first job was programming in Fortran 66. I've since moved to C# & .NET via Ada, C and C++.

Over the last few years my work has been developing web applications and most recently Silverlight applications.

One of these days I'm going to get round to these books on my Amazon Wish List

comment 15 GB of photos. Should I use Google Drive, G+ Photos or Google Picasa?
I posted it as a comment because I know you specified Google in your question so it's not a direct answer, but thought you might be interested anyway.

The problem is not that Facebook is blocking Pidgin as such, but it's blocking your attempts to login via Pidgin because you told it not to authorise the login.

comment How do I do a Redo after Undo (Ctrl+Z) in Twitter's tweet compose box?
I've just tried this in Chrome under Windows 7 and Ctrl+Y works as expected. I suspect this is a browser or even OS issue. Can you use Ctrl+Y on other text boxes on other sites?
