OK just be aware this is just my opinion but since we were promised months ago an evolution of .Text on weblogs.asp.net, I can see clearly that nobody is really in charge and the Community Server 2.0 migration (promised for last January!) is not happening.

Viral marketing is definitely a new weapon for Microsoft. After all the Origami stories, now it's time to turn our attention to Channel9. It seems that some project to create an TV show for developers is on the way.

OK so it's Sunday and ussually at 6.30pm (GMT) we have here in Ireland a new Simpsons episode. Not today sadly! But anyway some folks have found an hilarious way to fill my Sunday. Check this real life Simpsons intro, so funny. Well done :-)

Console² replaces the JavaScript Console with what could be the next generation Error Console.

As of Firefox 1.5, the JavaScript Console is used not only for JavaScript errors, but for CSS errors as well. This extension takes this into account by providing a simple possibility to display errors by type.

Console² let's you display errors filtered by type (Errors, Warnings, Messages), language (JavaScript, CSS, XML) and context (Chrome, Content). Furthermore it provides a simple search box (as seen in the History and Bookmarks sidebars), hiding of duplicates, sidebar optimizations, a customizable toolbar and some more accessibility improvements.

The Yahoo! User Interface Library is a set of utilities and controls, written in JavaScript, for building richly interactive web applications using techniques such as DOM scripting, HTML and AJAX. The UI Library Utilities facilitate the implementation of rich client-side features by enhancing and normalizing the developer's interface to important elements of the browser infrastructure (such as events, in-page HTTP requests and the DOM). The Yahoo UI Library Controls produce visual, interactive user interface elements on the page with just a few lines of code and an included CSS file. All the components in the Yahoo! User Interface Library have been released as open source under a BSD license and are free for all uses.
