How to make vim behave when copying text from elsewhere and pasting into it ...[Read More]

svn is a better cvs except this perhaps? ...[Read More]

This is of course a wacky idea and the one which search engines might/should jump on . I checked the working draft for HTML 5 and could not find it there.

The idea is about search engines aiding all the HTML documents that are about a certain topic and want to intersperse hyper-links to certain terms that appear elsewhere on the web. Of course, I, as an author of a document that references such concepts or terms, don't want to waste time on finding the exact web-page that demonstrates it. The intent of such a link is to provide more information about that term anyway. Then, why not have a facility like:

• <a seref="Effective Java">Effective Java</a>

which will bring the page from your favorite search engine with "Effective Java" as your query string.

This is useful for the author because when the author does not really want to be specific to point to a known document, s/he can always make use of search engines which are supposed to provide more up-to-date information on a topic of general interest. More importantly, it examines if search relevance that search engines tout about is any good!

I told ya -- it is wacky , but I just implemented this in my previous post.

One of the things I like about Firefox is Firebug. I wonder why Gmail has started showing this ugly red flag recently ...

 

 

I think it is ugly because it does not make sense to have it as a red flag. People who run Firebug know that there is an overhead involved with it. 

But it's the G-muscle, what can you do?

I know this is a rather sensitive topic, but like "Video content", where can one upload "original", copyright-free audio content (e.g. a paragraph or two read by someone, to promote a good book) on the web? I could not find any sites, whereas for video, there are tons of sites.

Can Firefox compete with IE?[Read More]

Did you know that? I did not.[Read More]

Well, it feels good to be part of this yearly Techno-marketing(?) event. I am sure you'll read many reviews of the event from various angles. I am not really going to deep dive into the management aspects of it, for I really thought that the crew did an incredible job of handling the stress situations and keeping the show running. What follows has more to do with the sessions and what I thought it takes to present at the JavaOne.[Read More]

There are several blogs and articles that tell you about how JConsole can connect to the Sun Java System Application Server. This blog tries to be extensive and provides an in depth coverage of the topic.[Read More]

This is simply superb. I can't praise this enough. If you run into this blog, you should do two things:

• Download Firefox and use it.
• If you use roller weblogger, then install the Firefox extension called Xinha. You will simply love it and can't stop using it. It is a remedy over editing woes of roller's built-in HTML editing support.

I am going to try to demo it as I write about it. The "Xinha! Here" extension works with any text area. So, after you install the extension from here , you will never have to write

 <a href=....></a> ....<

by hand!

As I am typing in this roller's text area to create new blog entry, I right click and see: 

 

I select to open it in new Window and here is my seamless HTML editing experience:

This is marvellous!

1. There is language chooser!
2. There is each and every think you could ask for.
   

I hope DreamWeaver ^TM folks have seen this ...

The games and performances are awe-inspiring .

The contenstants for Downhill seem to be from another planet! Wow! That speed is unbelievable.

Quite often I felt embarrassed watching the games mainly because of the level of competition displayed by those brilliant performers. All of them were superb.

Hats off to them!

What is a (free) blogging application that I can download and host on my web/app server?

Any comparison available amongs best providers?
