Take out


Take out

Originally shared by Peggy K

Find your first Google+ post (and get an archive of all your posts) using Google Takeout

Brian Slesinsky has posted a neat trick for finding that first post you posted here on Google+ and creating a backup archive of your posts:
https://plus.google.com/+BrianSlesinsky/posts/6AXRHih9FFL

Here are the instructions:

1. Go to https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout

2. Optional: to switch to a Google+ Page click your profile photo at top right, and select the Google+ Page's Brand Account from the list. Once you have switched you will see the Page's Profile image at top right.

3. Deselect everything in the Takeout list except Google+ Stream

4. Download as a zip file.

(Creating the archive may take a while if you have a lot of posts)

5. Unzip.

6. Open Takeout folder
7. Open Google+ Stream folder
8. There will be one HTML file per post. Sort by date modified.

Notes:

* The earliest modified file should be your first post.

* The file should open in your browser. Click the Permalink link to open the post on Google+.

* the archive does not include photos or images you posted to Google+. You can create a separate archive of your photos in Google Takeout > Google Photos (Google+ uploads appear to be in date albums)

* you may see a Google+ Pages archive option. This only archives the Circles of your Google+ Pages, not the posts.

* My stream archive was 6521(!) post files and about 25MB.

My first post:
https://plus.google.com/+PeggyKTC/posts/A9g93DHfvpC

It was posted October 1, 2012, with a link to an April 2012 YouTube Announcement. It has one sad +1 and no comments.

I'm looking for information about this venue. It looks like it might make a suitable replacement for some photo related communities.

Does anyone use it already >
Would anyone like to volunteer to test it ?

Audrey Sheppard pointed out a potential venue for us. Does anyone here have any experience with this ?

If not, would it be a good idea to have a half dozen volunteers try it out together to see if it suits our needs ?

AN INTERESTING PIECE OF WWII HISTORY

Starting in 1941, an increasing number of British Airmen found themselves as the involuntary guests of the Third Reich and the Crown was casting about for ways and means to facilitate their escape.

Now obviously, one of the most helpful aids to that end is a useful and accurate map , one showing not only where stuff was, but also showing the locations of 'safe houses' where a POW on-the-lam could go for food and shelter.... Show More

Random Observations

One day that didn't seem like any other day, the love of my life told that she just wasn't cut out to be married. She said it was over, just like that and there was no further discussion other than about how soon I could leave and how how far away I could go.
There were signs of trouble for some time. A thousand disappointments could not make me stop loving her. At her worst she was still the love of my life and deserved understanding and forgiveness and commitment.
Well, over time, I discovered that I could survive the divorce. I (mostly) understand and support her still. She had to do what was, in her understanding, best for her.

And now it's Google+'s turn. (Sigh)
