GuitarExp

A new geeky post…

I had for several weeks issues logging into my google account from my home laptop (MacBookPro/Safari). No problem from work (Windows/Chrome). Problem occurs no matter the google application I use (gmail, calendar, docs, reader). After entering my credentials, Safari enter an infinite loop of HTTP redirect. Safari stops the loop after 20-30 redirects and print out an error message.

I googled some keywords and found out a lot of solutions not resolving my issue :

• adjust date&time of the laptop
• empty caches
• delete cookies
• reboot the rooter&laptop (WTF?)
• update GMail Manager for Firefox which I obviously don’t use…

I tried some more things like “reset safari”, uninstall Google Notifier. I finally looked for a way to uninstall Google Gears. And… here was the solution !

Infinite loop gone ! but… Google Gears gone too ! no more offline gmail/calendar/docs…

I definitely need to do some more testing on Google Gears to found out a way to use it without entering this f*****g loop.

Thanks to the new google FriendConnect, guitarexp is now a little more 2.0 ! You can login with your google/aim/yahoo account and post comments, reviews, ratings on tabs.

Google made it so easy to turn your website in a community style site, it took only 30mn to set up my google account and the pages on guitarexp.

This new product is part of the OpenSocial project from Google to have a little competition with facebook…

i’ve just finished putting online a new search engine. You can now use the google custom search field to search your favorite tab, chord or classified ad on guitarexp.net ! cheers
