Create a Redirect to your Google+ Profile

April 2, 2009: RIP Google+. 🙁

It is pretty simple to setup your domain to redirect to your Google+ profile.  For example, I have https://techish.net/+ which redirects to my Google+ profile.  This is handy instead of having to link to your Google+ profile manually or using a third-party service.  Keeps everything in your control.  =)

Apache

If you are using Apache, modify your .htaccess file and include the following lines.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
Redirect /+ https://plus.google.com/your_google_plus_profile_id/
</IfModule>

Nginx

If you are using Nginx, modify your nginx.conf file and put the following line within your location {} stanza.

rewrite ^/+ https://plus.google.com/your_google_plus_profile_id/ permanent;

Free Web Based Asset Management

I came across a gem this morning while starting the dubious task of reviewing what’s out there in regards to asset management software.

This project blows me away. It’s rather simplistic, but can be made into something advanced if you desire.
