29Nov 10 Minute Email

There’s a service out there called 10 Minute Email which allows one to create an email address that will be valid for 10 minutes.  This service is great for those forums and services which require folks to register their email addresses to register and gain access.  The creators have released this service in an effort [...]

29Nov Share Code Easily

Mozilla has a nice little page that lets you paste in source code(any C++, C, Javascript, PHP, etc..) and it does all the syntax highlighting for you, then prints out a nice link to a page you can send to others.
It sure beats trying to read code through an IM or email.

07Nov Thieves

Someone just walked off with a notepad from my desk at work.  What the heck are people thinking? This is the second “theft” from my desk.  The first time, someone walked off with a book I had on XForms.  If you frikken need office supplies go to your department’s secretary and ask for them!

07Nov Abandon 800×600?

There’s so much debate amongst web developers these days about abandoning 800×600 as the base resolution to design websites for.  I personally still use 800×600 as the base resolution and lean more towards using fluid designs.  There are many websites (NYTimes.com, for example) that have switched to using 1000px width for their designs.
