Programmer Personality Test There was already a posting about a Myers-Briggs Test before on DC, but this a very short version, made especially for the programmer types. I think it'll hit the target audience quite well being posted here ;-) Below is the programmer's personality test. |

7 reasons I switched back to PHP after 2 years on Rails - Blog ArticleVery interesting article that hits home with me as someone who enjoys PHP and is not all that fond of the Ruby syntax etc., but thinks that the focus on MVC stuff from Rails is a good idea.. I spent two years trying to make Rails do something it wasn’t meant to do, then realized my old abandoned language (PHP, in my case) would do just fine if approached with my new Rails-gained wisdom. http://www.oreillyne...hed_back_to_p_1.html |

CDBurnerXP 4 releasedWell, it seems September is really bringing a whole new batch of major software updates. This week is the turn for one of the best freeware burners out there, CDBurnerXP (which, as you see, it's dropping the "Pro" suffix). Three years have since passed since last time this burner was updated, and after a long developing phase, which resembled Duke Nukem Forever as various rewrites and a new focus of the project happened in between. It seems to be worth the wait, as the developers wrote new burning components from scratch, bringing the application to modern times in terms of optical media support, and fixed some MAJOR bugs which really were a hit to the usability of the last stable version (one of them almost prevented data burning, as it didn't recognize folder nesting). Some things were dropped from the project as well, like the option to tag your media files (very slow, anyway) and audio ripping, though they said that they probably make a comeback as separate applications. Also, there were some other changes that won't please everybody. First, support for Win9x OS has been dropped. Second, it uses .NET Framework 2.0, although there's a way to avoid installing the complete package which is detailed here. The list of changes: - Support for new technologies like Double layer DVDs, Blu-Ray and HD-DVDs |
