Are you in to Flash?

Do you program in Macromedia Adobe flash? (I’m assuming you are a domino developer if you read my blog and won’t ask).
You should definetely take a look on my friend Jonas Israelsson’s blog and his article about Flash-based UIs for your Domino-based solutions published on Developerworks last week.

review: The Best Software Writing I

The Best Software Writing I

Rating: 5 out of 5

Author: Joel Spolsky

Year: 2005

ISBN: 1590595009

I didn’t do much research before I bought this book. I just fell for the author’s famous name and the name of the book. To be honest I thought it had something to do about how to write better computer code.

And I was right! The book has a numerous authors and some of the articles are about good coding manners, others are about project leadership, ROI. There’s even a small cartoon strip. Not a single one of the articles are boring or numb. I like them all.

I understand Mr Spolsky’s picked out those articles to show examples on good english writing to show that an article covering such a boring thing as SOA architecture patterns musn’t be dead boring for example.

The best part besides that these authors makes great article is probably that I read things I probably would have jumped over if I saw them in a paper or on the web.

Five out of five!

Adding social bookmarking tags to Lotus Quickplace

One reason for not using tags on an intranet is that only the author are likely to tag their article, as opposite to the social tagging systems on the public internet where actually everyone is supposed to tag everything (that’s of there interest). If we can get an habit to have intranet users to tag [...]


SameTime 7.5 beta 3, testround 1

I checked out the sametime 7.5 beta3 today. I must admitt that I’m really impressed. There’s alot of things we’ve seen other IM-solutions carrying around for years. But also brand new features which shows that the IBM guys aren’t just copy cat. One feature I directly can tell will save us time and our clients [...]


Ever read about the REST architecture?

I just love how things gets lot’s of attraction just because someone naming it and calls it a [tag]design pattern[/tag] or architectural style. look at Ajax for example that in less than 12 months developed from a marginal solution used by individual programmers into something the big dragons are investing millions in, it’s not even [...]


WOMM - a new era?

Earlier this week I wrote about search engines and some strange clothes that will hide your cell’s screen when needed. Both those writings were ‘planted’ by http://www.payperpost.com. According to the deal I will get a handful dollar for the articles and as long as [...]
