…so you still remember the times when Internet was loud of desktop applications going online, huh? Email was one of the earliest obvious implementations, slowly followed by the more difficult applications: online document, spreadsheet, presentation editing, agenda, todo list, contact management, image editing, imagemap editing ;), etc. And you started to use one or more of these online wonders, and you were happy. Obviously sooner or later you realized you are pretty much stuck when you are offline. Application developers also had this in mind, and now in 2008 we have a few handsome tools to transform some of these applications to work in offline mode.

HAI! Seriously, did you know there is a programming language called LOLCODE? I did not, but apparently it is very popular, among the implementations we can even find PHP and Javascript parsers.

Hello Hai World Example:

HAI  
CAN HAS STDIO?  
VISIBLE "HAI WORLD!"  
KTHXBYE

…so try to access a file input’s value property in FFX3. What do you get? The filename. What do you get in IE and FFX2? The filename AND the path.
Well, if your script has been relying on this behaviour, you might find yourself in trouble. So far the only solution i found hides in the comments section of this post (great showcase of new functionality on the other hand btw).

…so the other day i figured out that the parser i used so far (LastRss) was not able to read Atom feeds. Since our beloved Blogger only publishes atom feeds i needed to find a cure for the problem.
One easy solution is to ask FeedBurner to convert between rss and atom, which works pretty well, but better not mess with the Gods, lets do it the proper way.
Then i came across this blog entry, that compared some of the existing solutions. Finally i chose SimplePie, which works brilliantly ever since. To have an overview of the solutions, here is my little comparison:

Just a short overview of how Gmail chat evolved since its first appearance. And it has to be said it works very well. However i started to be a fan of Google Talk Labs edition. I dont know since when it has this feature, but i just love the fetching of youtube vids and picasa albums straight in the chat window so i dont have to visit the site itself, very well done!

Hi all, sorry for being silent for a while, but in the past weeks i had a lot of things to do. From one part i have moved to a new apartment where is still no Internet installed, from the other hand i was on holidays. As a result my feed reader contains around 700 unread items i should browse through when i find a little free time in the office:)
Looking back the most important thing that happened during the time is the release of the new Firefox.
To have an overview what other browsers are doing quirksblog made a writeup.

Just one week from now we will have a big SugarCRM event in Portugal. It is organized by DRI, amongst the speakers we will have Clint Oram, vice-president and co-founder of SugarCRM. I am really looking forward to be there, and i am also proud that i took big part in two of the projects that will be presented as case studies.
