IE7: Should I Be Afraid?

Wed 25 Jan 2006 1:24pm

An uncertain specter looms on the horizon. I don’t know whether to run towards or away from it. Yes, it’s true, after hemorrhaging browser market share to Firefox for a while, Microsoft finally decided that they should put some people back on the Internet Explorer project, even though it’s not a big money maker for […]

iStock V8: The Future is Here!

Mon 9 Jan 2006 2:20am

It’s been a long time in coming, but the new version (and complete redesign) of iStockphoto is here!

Mon 5 Dec 2005 3:12am

I’ve been trying to get into Ruby on Rails lately. I purchased the PragProg book and read through it.
