Supposed new features of IE7 aka Rincon
Although a beta of IE7 is months away information about enhancements and features are starting to spread.
My favorite comment in this article is “Microsoft is wavering on the extent to which it plans to support CSS2 with IE 7.0”
Get it right Microsoft…do the right thing!
Most exciting sports time of the year
I would argue that this is the most exciting sports time of the year. The opening day of baseball just around the corner (although I have some mixed feelings about baseball this year) and the anticipation of the NCAA basketball tournament.
Opinions?
Project: NEW
This site was recently created and the first issue is out.
Let me quote the purpose: Web design tutorials for new web designers and designers new to web standards.
If you’re wondering what web standards are all about and how to become and think like a web designer, this might be a good place to start.
It looks promising…
How about them Buckeyes!!
Wow! Even before today’s win over number 1 ranked Illinois, I’ve been very proud of the Ohio State men’s basketball team. But what a game! I’ve been telling folks for weeks to mark their calendars for March 6th, national television, undefeated Illinois against Ohio State, at Columbus!
Thad Matta is exactly what that team needed and now with a new AD coming in, things are looking up for Buckeye sports.
Go Bucks!
Quote:
Matta was asked if the victory over Illinois makes his team’s postseason ban even more difficult to accept.
“Yeah. I thought we could win the national championship,” he joked. “And nobody’s ever going to know.”
Golden Bear Tragedy
The Nicklaus family suffered a tragic loss Tuesday evening when Jake Walter Nicklaus, the 17-month-old son of Steve and Krista Nicklaus, passed away as the result of an accidental drowning at the family’s home.
That is an exerpt from the statement made by the Nicklaus family on their Web site.
As a HUGE Jack Nicklaus fan, but more so as a father, my heartfelt condolences go out to the Nicklaus family for their loss.
The statement goes on to make this statement:
In lieu of flowers, donations should be made to the Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation, Inc., benefiting the Nicklaus Children’s Hospital at St. Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach. Donations made “In Memory of Jake Walter Nicklaus (JWN)” can be sent to the Foundation office, 927 45th Street, Suite 206, West Palm Beach, Florida, 33407.
Best Picture
Well, this year, I have not seen ANY of the Best Picture nominees.
Million Dollar Baby won, but do you agree with it?
You can say what you want…
Just spell my name right!!
This is the third database I’ve come across lately that cannot accommodate a second capital letter in a name. For instance, Ronald McDonald comes out as Ronald Mcdonald.
I don’t know about anyone who has such a name, but it drives me CRAZY to see my name spelled wrong!!!
I’ve spoken to two of the companies who explained that their database simply cannot make the distinction and being a computer guy, I can kinda see that, but geez, I don’t think it would be THAT difficult to fix and it seems respectful of your clients to make the correction.
Am I blowing this out of proportion or does this tick anyone else off?
100 Top Gadgets of All Time
Mobile PC Magazine has released their list of the 100 Top Gadgets of All Time.
What number did the Pez dispenser come in at? Or TiVO?
Security and PHP
I have loved PHP since version 3! And now version 5 is truly the real deal. (I wish my hosting company would install the damn thing though!!) But as with any took you have to know how to use it.
Here comes the PHP Security Consortium, a group dedicated to educating the programmers out there on how to securely use PHP to design your Web apps.
From the Library at PHP Sec, there is a link to a great article demonstrating SQL injection hacks by example. Since PHP and *SQL go hand in hand, I thought I’d include this excellent reference as well.
Happy Valentine’s Day
Enjoy a great day with your sweetheart!!
