One of the improved features of Windows Sharepoint Services 3.0 is enhanced presence awareness using Microsoft’s Live Communication Server.  If your company is using LCS, Office Communicator, and Sharepoint, you can see any user’s Communicator status in Sharepoint any time there’s a link to their user profile; for instance the links for the created by […]

An interesting perspective:

“…this new weird and programmer-unfriendly behavior of Firefox’s.” [emphasis mine]
I mean, I’ve never thought of behaving correctly with respect to the specification as “programmer-unfriendly” before. Dave mentions that Firefox “…implements permanent redirects without looping the server in…”, but I don’t even know what that means.
I know the issue Dave had was discussed […]

Many of the ASP.NET people I encounter in my work are self-taught developers who wrote Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheets before they wrote C# or Visual Basic®. - MSDN Magazine, July 2006

After reading through the spec and accompanying FAQ, I started rifling through the commentary thread at memeorandum.1  Alex Barnett already has […]

Dave’s made it to the web with his OPML Validator Beta. On the surface it seems a little more strict than Randy’s validator.
Dave’s linked to the caveats of the beta-ness of the tool, as well, which is pretty nice - especially the presence of the valid and invalid test files. As I linked […]

The folks over at Rojo have fixed a bug with the share page that was making the tag field disappear from the page. Now they’re back!

Since I use Rojolicious as my main in-road to posting entries to de.icio.us, missing this field was kind of a big deal to me. Thanks, Rojo!
In concert with […]

I wish Joshua Schacter would respond to Chris Alden and work out a Rojo flag-to-del.ico.us bridge so I can autopopulate my del.icio.us feed with items.
I responded by saying that it seemed an easy fix for something like Greasemonkey to take care of. Knowing from the same post that Steve is running […]
