It seems that almost every day there are cool new ajax tools coming out and providing powerful web applications that can almost replace all those old desktop applications you still use. For example there is ajaxWrite which is a nice and simple word processing application, right through your browser. Note, no registration required. Just launch the app, edit away, and you're done.

Supposedly Writely is even more feature rich, but I can't register to find out right now.

I've just heard from Hoffie that Blastwave.org is having financial problems and may have to close down.

If you want to support the site then head over to Blastwave.org and help out by taking part in the survey and donating whatever $$ you can. This is a great resource that the Solaris community does not want to lose.

3, 2, 1 ... BAM, and we hit the ground running.
