Refresh, Damn you!

Have you ever linked a blog post to Facebook, then gone back and made some corrections, only to have the original text keep showing up?

It’s because Facebook caches a copy of the page the first time you post it.

Here is how to make Facebook refresh its cached copy, courtesy of freedigitalphotos.net:

  1. Go to Facebook’s Developer Debugger: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug)
  2. Enter the URL of the web page in question and hit the “debug” button. You may see some error messages, but if you cursor down the page, you should see a box with the updated information.
  3. Go back to your status update and share the URL.

The Keyboard That Cried Wolf

So, about a month ago, the Bluetooth Keyboard on my work iMac announced its batteries were low. 

I checked it and discovered it was sitting at 18%. I held off changing them out, thinking I could probably get another day or two out of the current set.

As you can see, today’s reading, a FULL MONTH LATER shows I still have 14%. 

Despite this, every morning I get a stern warning that my keyboard batteries are low and I must change them immediately or dire consequences will resul

  

Just kidding. At this rate, I won’t actually need new batteries until February. If only my phone battery lasted so long.
