Will’s Blog

Here’s an article I was reading about the state of 3G Mobile services in Australia (well, for Melbourne/Sydney/Canberra anyway). This will get interesting. I know I blogged about this sometime last year (August). [Other blog entries on 3G]

I’ve just been reading an interesting article in the Fortune online website titled Torrential Reign – BITTORRENT: THE GREAT DISRUPTER. It’s about Bram Cohen, and one of his creations, BitTorrent.

A little while ago, I blogged about a CSS cheat sheet made available at the ILoveJackDaniels.com website. I just noticed that the blogs’ author (Dave Child) has a few more up. From: http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/cheat-sheets/ – JavaScript Cheet Sheet – CSS – RGB Hex Colour Chart Looks handy. Though I always keep a local saved copy of [...]

A few months ago, at one of the MXPEG (Melbourne eXtreme Programming Enthusiasts Group) there was a presentation by Darrell DeBoer (from ThoughtWorks) on something that a few ThoughtWorkers have been working on called Selenium.

The Framework provides us with a client-side component model, network stacks, firefox compatibility, and OO language enhancements [...]

Was just looking around the web and saw this link on Matt Mullenweg’s blog to a page with some nice overviews for Web Design Patterns. Very cool. On that page they’ve put things into several different categories ranging from web design patterns for different Site Types, different User Experiences, ECommerce type websites, to different methods [...]

Just been reading this blog post by Jim Van Eaton which briefly describes the history of Outlook Web Access (OWA) and it’s journey to today. Interesting, and we have them to thank for the core of Ajax today (XmlHttp). I’ve been looking through the exchange blog a bit lately, and I think one of the [...]

Wow, i’m half surprised and half “heh” about how fast the news travels around the web these days. I was reading my RSS feeds last night and was chatting in the JoiIto IRC channel over on freenode and noticed a blog post about a Red Screen of Death (RSOD) (by Michael Kaplan), so I pasted [...]
