If Youre Interested In This Sort Of Thing A Hrefhttpnewsbbccouknolsharedsplhimiddleeast02ukdossieronira

If you're interested in this sort of thing: Why I Want to Bomb Iraq by Mr T. Blair.

I dunno, isn't it a rather odd phrase to use 'Executive Summary'. I know that's the standard style, but it seems horribly inappropriate.

Developers Reexamine R

Developers Re-examine Rich-Client Apps. "Some corporate developers last week said they will consider switching from Web applications back to their old, familiar rich-client applications because of unpromoted features that they're just now discovering in Microsoft Corp.'s .Net framework."

Emphasis on the some and the consider but people are thinking (mind you we spend a lot of time thinking about new MS technologies, waiting to see if it will stick).

Why NET Will Conquer The WorldnbspA Hrefht

Why .NET will conquer the world. [sellsbrothers.com: Windows Developer News]

Well argued, very good points - quite whether the world of programming is as logical as this implies is another question.

CNN Headline News To Blog Or Not T

CNN Headline News: To Blog or not to Blog. [Scripting News]

Factettes:

  • Several sources put the total number of blogs in the range of 200,000 to 500,000. Google returns 2 million hits on the word "blog."
  • Not to be outdone, a number of corporate and mass media outlets are starting to support in-house blogs by their own journalists or as part of intranets, called k-logs or knowledge-logs.

New Toys Shelley Powers I Thought The

New toys. Shelley Powers: "I thought the stuff this weekend on FOAF was a joke -- a bunch of people playing with new toys." (147 words) [dive into mark]

It really does seem to get around - interesting, feed a community a tid-bit and it whizzes down the street over all the garden fences in the modern equivalent of hanging out the washing.

More On Flash MX Java And NET Backends

More on Flash MX - Java and .NET backends.

One wonders if we now have more solutions than we have problems (well, that's probably always been so...).

More hmmmm,

Of course, since UXP is a frame into which scriptable controls can be put, we can use the same code to put scriptable controls inside the view element of the frame (so you can have html view or XML defined UI inside the view, or multiple 'panes' in the view, some scriptable XML defined UI controls, some html, depending on what you want to do). Further, the scriptable controls can be put into the html as behaviours (e.g. so toolbars can be put above editable html).

Hmmm Now That Im Sold On The Whole UI As XML Idea Im Going To Seriously Dive Into That A Hrefhttpbooks

Hmmm,

Now that I'm sold on the whole UI as XML idea, I'm going to seriously dive into that free Mozilla book. But once again, it's too bad that Luxor is GPL which I'm not a big fan of. I may have to start playing with it anyways because XUL's that cool.

-Russ [Russell Beattie Notebook]

Its the whole UI thats the problem as far as UXP is concerned.
