I checked my GMail email account today and I noticed that I had 10 messages in my “Spam” folder. I clicked on the spam folder to see what they were and I noticed something funny along the top of the window.
GMail has a feature called “web clips”, it shows you little snippets from various web […]
Jeff Sandquist - Microsoft Evangelist - Welcome to Bitman’s Place
As a soon-to-be-new parent, I want to like this kind of site. I’ve given some thought to exactly how I’m going to get my daughter interested in science, technology, and literature.
But when I look over the site and see phrases like the following:
he has lots […]
scooblog by josh ledgard : Grrrr, Can’t Participate in Tags from MSDN Blogs
For my two cents, which no one asked for, MSDN hitched their wagon to .Text and CS so now they are stuck with it.
Second, understand that criticism of the software is not criticism of the person. Unless you say something like “The brain […]
Mainsoft Developer Zone - Home
Grasshopper is a Visual Studio .NET® plug-in, which enables you to use C# or Visual Basic .NET® to develop cross-platform ASP.NET applications that run on Linux® and any platform running Apache Tomcat.
This looks promising.
via - every developer on the net I think.
There have been a couple of postings in the past few days over at Codebetter.com that have really crystalized something I’ve been thinking about for a while.

Make Multiple Visual Studio .NET Projects Participate in the Same Web Application:
(Via Weblogs @ ASP.NET.)
This is exactly what we are doing for the next version of a project I’m working on. We’ve broken each disease or large functionality out into a “modules” directory (e.g. /modules/breast, /modules/kidney) and we’re going to put the ASP.NET controls […]
What’s going on with Quicksilver? It went from being speedy under Panther to slow under Tiger. It got uglier when I upgraded too, but I can deal with ugly if it works better than the old version.
If this keeps up, I may have to switch to Spotlight for all of my app searching and launching […]
Bah: “
So I had this cool entry commenting on the recent Apple using Intel fervor and something borked when I posted and it’s all gone.

You can get it together with NetNewsWire for $40.
BTW Tom’s non-borked post is here and it’s worth reading.
Rico Mariani’s Performance Tidbits : Performance Quiz #6 — Looking at the sixth cut
Well ok, they weren’t really competing since they knew what the outcome would be. But it looks like .NET is a sprinter.
Dare Obasanjo aka Carnage4Life - Microsoft Missing the Boat on Programming Language Trends
I’ve often said, when writing my 50,000th “alert(hidTxtInput.Text)” statement in Javascript, that the company/person who came out with a full-fledged Javascript IDE and debugger would rule the new world. The Venkman debugger for Firefox comes close, but it’s still a little sketchy when […]
We’re wrapping up this development cycle at work and you know what that means kids.
That’s right, back into meetings to determine the next cycles features. Which means I’ll have more time to do some programming at home and some skunkworks projects at work. I’ve still got my Ruby project on hold and I really want […]
Wow. I downloaded the new version of NetNewsWire the other day and have been playing around with it. Trying to see if I can fit it into my existing reading workflow. I imported my Bloglines OPML list and then I noticed “New Special Subscription” in the “File” menu. Wow, they have created a way to […]
they mean BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY.
via Joystiq
â?Backward compatibility: the disc drive will accept Gamecube games. We have designed Revolution to be a virtual console, enabling it to download 20 years of Nintendo content. … It is the gaming experience that will most separate Revolution from its competitors.â? This is huge! It will have built in emulation for […]
Random Access 3.0: IBM Gives go-ahead to employees to Blog On.
The IBM closet that is. Hopefully he’ll have lots of juicy tidbits that he can share about the Xbox 360’s chipset. I havent’ paid much attention to the IBM rules of blogging, but it’s interesting to see that they are defining out HOW to blog. […]
Windows Desktop Search experiences
At home: It refuses to install on the x64 flavor of Windows. Nice.
At work: Used it on Win2003 for approx two hours, then it crashed and greeted me with this when I restarted it:
Well, to quote the XBox development team, “backwards compatibility is HARD”. (to paraphrase the Playstation development team and Yoda, […]
A general observation on closed source versus open source applications.
Both have the same attitude toward functionalty, they just don’t realize it. In the case of closed source, if it doesn’t do exactly what you want it to do, you’re on your own. Find another application that does what you want it to do. With open […]
Tiger and some cool apps
Paschel posts about the Delicious Library application written by the Omni Group. Little bit of inspiring trivia about the Omni group. They don’t maintain any offices (at least I don’t think they do). They work out of a coffee shop in the University District.
Keep that in mind the next time […]
MacSlash | Dashboard Widgets From The Dark Side
This story has been making the rounds today.
Thad’s right, a new Dashboard widget dubbed “Zaptastic” is more or less a prof of concept that will infect your system if you visit a page that has prime to exploit this flaw.
Except that it doesn’t quite do that.
This is actually […]
The only new Operating system I’ll be installing this year IS coming from Redmond.

I don’t even HAVE Tiger yet (it’s due today) and I’ve signed up for this list. Now I’m off to look for an Automator Action dev list.
