So it’s the end of 2009. I addressed this year in a recent post of mine and I really don’t have anymore to add to that. But instead, I’d like to give my thanks to a bunch of organizations and software.
MooTools
MooTools has been my javascript fasination since the dawn of time and I still love [...]
Since this is the week Windows 7 is getting released and I’m hosting a Windows 7 Party, I thought it would be great to share some of my favorite new features in Windows 7 with my readers.
Windows Update in Windows 7. Do you remember XP Windows Update? You always had to go through Internet Explorer [...]
I was just searching around and I stumbled upon what seemed to be a ghost. I wrote about Save The Developers back in November of 2008. It seems that their website is back up. It looks significantly different, the super tiny javascript drop down is gone too.
The site seems to be trying hard to promote [...]
A while ago I mentioned Ten Grand Is Buried Here, a competition by Microsoft to promote their new version of Internet Explorer. A day or so before it started, the site wouldn’t let other browsers see the hints field, where the tweets go.
Well, the competition has started now and the clues are streaming out of [...]
I was watching the new Mircosoft Bing.com ads. Here’s what I think the best video currently is. It’s just over a minute long, but it feels long for just a minute.
The new ad is pretty weird at first, a question is asked and then the bombardment starts. It’s epic in strangeness and you will remember [...]
Save the Developers is gone. savethedevelopers.org now redirects to Microsoft (Get IE 7 or IE 8 Beta).
I used to have a little save the developers image on my homepage for ifupdown, but I doubt that it’ll work now as all traffic is redirected to Microsoft.
That’s pretty sad. A little site that stood up to Microsoft’s lame duck [...]
Today, Microsoft put up a blog post on their Windows Vista Team Blog, Introducing Windows 7. The official codename of Windows 7 is: Windows 7. I bet you didn’t see that coming.
Anyway, if you look at the comments on that page, you’ll see some critisiem about the numbering of Windows. Honestly, I don’t think it’s [...]
For school, I often have to type up a paper in Spanish for class. I like to let Microsoft Word do the hard job: fix my Spanish mistakes, which include, accents, grammar, tenses and verb agreement. Naturally, if you buy a United States version of Office, 2007, you’ll be set to English (U.S.) by default. [...]
I was reading “ASP.NET gets no Respect“, this morning and I have some things to say. First, a bit of history. My first experiences as a web developer were with ASP.net. It was really elegant for me as kid (3 years ago, now!). (Note: I added all of the bolds in the quoted text.)
In reality [...]
Microsoft’s, or the IE Team’s lastest browser has a new addition to the RSS/ATOM feed collection. WebSlices takes a different aproch to the infomration source: not an xml file. They are allowing users to look at any page and use their mouse to the select a portion of that page and turn it into the [...]
