Thanks. I will work on the feature description. The most notable features are easy saving and selection lookups.

To store a word, you just have to activate one or more of the colored circular buttons. And when you want to lookup a word within another word's definition you can select it and click lookup.


If you prefer a desktop app for offline use (not just for privacy) then it can be done using something like Gears or Air. The app might save some or all notes locally and sync them when necessary. With a web app you can work from other computers/ platforms and mobile devices (android, iphone, netbooks). Don't you think that's important?


I'm excited. Both of them own some really great products and are amazing at R&D. On top of that IBM is practical and profitable.


I agree with you. Both IBM and Sun have some really amazing R&D and almost all technological stacks in both companies can be merged and benefit (unless IBM kills all of Suns product lines - which it won't). DB2 <-> MySQL, IBM processors <-> Sun processors, Sun brings Workstations in the IBM house once again, Storage systems also, etc..

What I'm sad about is that the third pillar of once paragon of high performance computing is falling down. First DEC, then SGI and now SUN. I miss those magical times.


Also, Data General.


Netbeans has been showing some real improvements recently, it'd be a shame if it gets killed. I'm hoping they'll maintain both, like Autodesk is doing with 3ds Max and Maya.


If you use mootools try: http://mochaui.com/demo/


This is really useful to everyone exploring their APIs. I just found that the visualizations can render unicoded bangla text, which I had assumed wouldn't work since it didn't work in the charts api.

edit: Bangla is only working where they're using svg. Still broken in the bitmaps. Does anyone know where to file bug reports?



What about reading code? Isn't studying good, possibly open source, code more enlightening than drooling over hype filled blogs?


Unnecessary bloat for simple projects and inadequate for large ones (which will probably need domain specific code anyway). Does Django really need a CMS?


I suspect there's not much more over what Django-admin provides already but I reckon it would be good for people to maintain their own simple site without having to do any programming.
