I’ve been thinking of writing several books lately and I came by this great guide on making a book using Google Docs over at Hackszine.

Currently, my editor Brian Jepson and I are collaboratively writing the book (tentatively titled) Google Office Hacks by O’Reilly using Google Docs. I wanted to outline the process we came up with, and maybe it’s helpful for you too for certain needs.

The base document we’re working on is the outline. It’s a linked table of contents which helps us to organize the broad shape of the book, and also see the status of progress. I’ve bookmarked the outline in Firefox and added a keyword shortcut within the bookmark properties, so to open it I just need to type “gohacks” into the browser address bar.

Hey! We are 1 years old now! (Well, yesterday was the birthdate, August 14th but I got too drunk with some MGDs and I had a hangover from the night before so don’t blame me) You see that little blip we had couple weeks ago? Yeah, our site was down and yes I was too drunk. (haha, I was just kiddin’, I just forgot to pay bills)

Anyway, we did reach more than 1 million unique visitors over 1 year so that is good…

Well, I am going to start drinking more and blogging more along with our good friend David from UK. I just moved to a ocean-view apartment on 12th floor of Sunset district in San Francisco. (I HAD to say that… well don’t worry I’ve got about 20K in debt so… I really need to attend the “bad-spending-habit” class if there is one…)

Anyway, we want to thank ALL our friends!!!

P.S. Hopefully, next year, we have reached 10 million visitors!!! (Then I can goto Hawaii and blog from the beach for sure…)

P.S.2 I think we are going to open a forum for more activity… what do you think?

Our plan is to sell more information, hacks for FREE!!! So come and check out zedomax often for hacks and more ways to be smarter and crafty than the guy next to you.

Well, you know we’ve always try to be on top of hacks such as wii hack or iPhone hacks. (Yes, we do try to get on google on purpose so don’t blame us if you see zedomax while searching for iPhone hacks in the future.)

Here’s some cool hacks Hackszine guys posted! Hackers rule the world!

The other end of things is iPhone JavaScript hacking. Ever since Apple promised that you’d be able to make phone calls and access other iPhone functions from with Ajax widgets, we’ve been wondering where the glue lives. There are a few people exploring the JavaScript capabilities, include Joe Hewitt, who has released Firebug for iPhone, which lets you send debugging messages to your desktop browser and also execute JavaScript commands on the iPhone.

Here’s a Vista hack that allows you to use the Microsoft Vista for additional 3 months.

Windows Vista has a 30-day grace period before you’re required to activate it. This can be inconvenient for people who do a lot of testing and frequent clean installs; even though the MSDN subscription includes several activations, what’s the point of activating it on a real or virtual machine that may be running some other operating system in 31 days? Neowin.net explains the official way to get a little extra time in your grace period.
