One of the most prolific coders on the DonationCoder website, skwire never misses a NANY event, and rarely passes up the opportunity to fulfil a Coding Snack request.

Cognitive Seduction and the "peekaboo" law - Nice Blog EssayBrains are turned on by puzzles. Brains are turned on by figuring things out. Brains are turned on by even the smallest "aha" moments. And despite what some of you (*cough* men *cough*) might believe, the brain is more turned on by seeing just the arms of a naked woman behind a shower curtain than it is by seeing all of her. So if you're trying to engage someone's brain, don't show everything. Let their brain connect the dots. http://headrush.type...ng_passionate_users/

Agored.com — Bilingual OpenOfficeHere's a great project by Agored, which is bilingual office software developed from OpenOffice 2.0, and includes an international package that has been translated into over 50 languages. "Much of the bilingual functionality that Agored adds to the interface is already present in OpenOffice, but not readily accessible, said David Chan, a programmer who worked on the project. Agored makes it easier for users to sit down in front of a computer and switch the application to their strongest language, he said.... Wales, one of the four constituent nations of the UK, has two official languages with equal status, Welsh and English, and local government bodies and other public organizations must issue documents in both languages. "Chan said the project team took care to make their code changes useful to other bilingual communities, groups that could include speakers of English and Irish Gaelic in Ireland; of French and Dutch in the Belgian capital of Brussels; of French and German in Switzerland, and of Basque and Spanish or of Catalan and Spanish in Spain." And Agored is available free. Cool! |

Windows World of KnowledgeI found this page by accident, and thought that someone ought to know. Daniel Petri, a Microsoft MVP from Tel-Aviv, collects all there is to know about Windows 2000 and XP. His collection of direct links to Windows 2000 Resource Kit tools is AWESOME. And I noticed there were links to XP tools as well. I thought that some of you guys would like this site. http://www.petri.co.il/index.htm |

Prediction: Google will Become StumbleuponI have some advice to the stumbleupon people: be scared (or make yourself a nice looking buyout target).
Niall Kennedy recently blogged about a google gadget that uses your search history to recommend other searches it thinks you might like. (http://www.niallkenn...ogle-personal-2.html). I think we are seeing the first ripples of the plan google has for tracking your entire search history.. |
