Yahoo! User Interface Library

July 13th, 2007

I certainly didn’t know that Yahoo! had a library of utilities written in JavaScript. I just stumbled upon it a while back. I’ve never really heard of it before now.

They’ve got quite a few cool scripts with thorough documentation. Definitely worth a look at…

JavaScript - Count Array

July 4th, 2007

I’m a PHP man myself however I’ve been playing around with JavaScript a lot lately since I’ve been creating the CRM for our web design company…

Article: Vista - Arrogance & Stupidity

March 26th, 2007
Upgrading to Windows Vista has been banned by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), technology giant Texas Instruments and other corporations and government agencies. These organizations are evaluating their options, but overseas it’s turning into a stampede to get out of Microsoft software.

School districts in the U.S. are starting to move entirely to Linux rather suffer the cost of upgrading Windows. Examples are the Windsor Unified School District in Northern California and the Bexley, Ohio high school district. Schools making this move have been surprised how easy it is and how much money is saved.

This didn’t surprise me at all… I haven’t played around with Vista yet but I don’t think I’ve read anything positive about it since it’s release… All I can say is I’ll never be upgrading to Vista anytime soon after reading this article.
