louisgray.com: Should Fractured Feed Reader Comments Raise Blog Owners' Ire?: Silicon Valley Blog - As a blogger, I am a content creator. I don't want my content stolen, or reposted without attribution or under somebody else's name. But I am also a huge advocate of RSS and continuing to adapt where the conversation is being held Reports of Windows’ demise are greatly exaggerated | All about Microsoft | ZDNet.com - It’s not news that Windows is huge and unwieldy. Many (probably most) of Microsoft’s own Windows developers would agree with that premise. But to suggest that Microsoft is burying its head in the sand and hoping its problems just go away is ridiculous Comparing Amazon’s and Google’s Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) Offerings | Enterprise Web 2.0 | ZDNet.com - Instead of just offering applications over the Web in the form of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Amazon and Google are offering an entire Platform-as-a-Service because they provide the foundation upon which to build highly scalable and robust Web apps Hartija - Css Print Framework - To solve this problem I decided to make universal Cascading Style Sheets for web printing by uniting all best CSS printing practises into one. dtsn : Highlighting Forms [tutorial] - This is quite a well known but under used technique for highlighting your form elements without any JavaScript. By using the CSS property focus you can apply style to a form element when it is clicked, also know as focus.

Alfresco, a leading enterprise content management and collaboration vendor, just announced its 2007 financial results. The numbers speak for themselves: Google App Engine - Google Code - Run your web applications on Google's infrastructure. Google App Engine enables you to build web applications on the same scalable systems that power Google applications. The Enterprise Web 2.0 Blog: When Mashing Your Enterprise, It Pays To Have a Lot of Friends - There’s one thing we’ve always been certain about: no single vendor can address the entire enterprise mashup problem alone.

iTunes & Ehcache - You figure it out

by Vinny Carpenter on April 5, 2008

Thanks to Greg Luck, I discovered something new in iTunes called My iTunes that lets you export your purchases out as RSS or as a widget to display on your website. Check out a sample of my purchases below - With DRM free music from Amazon, I'm not buying anything from iTunes that's available on Amazon. By the way, Greg Luck is one of the lead developers of Ehcache, which IMHO is the best and most widely used Java distributed caching framework.

New Theme for this blog: NigaRila

by Vinny Carpenter on December 10, 2006

A lot of you read this blog using an RSS reader and so you probably don't see the theme that adorns this blog but I just switched the theme that powers this blog to the NigaRila theme by Sadish Bala. I have been looking for a great 3-column theme and Sadish has created one of the best looking and usable theme out there.

NigaRila is an awesome theme for WordPress 2.0 that has 3 columns on the Front Page with a fixed width of 900 pixel and 2 columns on all other pages. This theme has two sidebars on the right side. If you have the sidebar widgets plugin installed, then you can use it for both of them. NigaRila is an awesome theme that produces valid XHTML and offers a great deal of functionality. I've made a couple of modifications to add support for a few other plugins but most of the functionality you see on my blog is out of the box including the archive and contact page. Sadish wants $15.00 for this theme and I think its well worth the cost.

In addition to NigaRila, Sadish just recently created a new WordPress theme called Intense after learning about my wife's first cousins son Gavin Winslow. Sadish was moved by Gavin's story and decided to help by adding a link from his theme to Gavin's site at www.savebabygavin.com. This has resulted in Gavin's site getting thousands of visits from people that normally wouldn't know about Gavin. Thank you Sadish for helping raise awareness about GavinÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s story and bringing additional visibility to his site and creating a great WordPress theme in the process.
