Yesterday was so overwhelming - forgot to make a note. So, anyways, today is the second day. Learning from the bitter experience of yesterday, I left home at 6:20am, today. When I got here, it was still dark *chuckle* but traffic was way better.

P.S. SmartTag rulz.

What will be the impact, we will know only in a year, according to the press release from Oracle, but Oracle supporting engine to make its direct open-source rival does not make much sense, does it?

It's an interesting timing considering what is going on in the security arena of open-source software. As you know, Nessus has closed its source code, by making it proprietary and Snort was bought by CheckPoint.

Here it goes again - the infamous Cross-Site Scripting but in Web 2.0 and social
networks context, this time.

I am a Mac addict and on Macs I have tried Zend studio. It was the best I could get on Mac but I still had so many things I hated about how it worked that I never bought it and just decided TextWrangler was not as much worse as to pay for Zend. I am almost sure I will buy Komodo (will play around little more, still have some time on beta license).

Some major things I loved:

1. Clean, very friendly and nicely integrated UI (not true for Zend)
2. Very compact and usable project navigation bar
3. Ability to see the code structure (methods, variables) of a PHP code
4. Support for both CVS and Subversion (Zend does not have Subversion support and I was never able to make CVS support work either)
5. Regular Expression Toolkit is awesome!
6. I was able to create a macro for generating bean setters and getters, 5 minutes after I installed Komodo (never could do in Zend and it really consumes a lot of time, to create these setter/getters manually if you try OO in PHP)
7. Ability to collapse/expand parts of code
8. Runs smoothly

the only "negative" thing to be said is that - it took Komodo a while to add PHP, TCL, Python (those I chose) analyzators after installation. But it does that only once, so - who cares.

Well done! Awesome IDE!

It seems like Verisign is looking into some very interesting new business opportunities. Considering Verisign is a large corporation (which tend to be inert) it's interesting to see that it is so up to the beat of "web 2.0"

I have some personal reasons, too, to be excited seeing Verisign doing so well... :-)

OK, having poured some sarcasm, it looks interesting :) It would be great if it can really do the job, becase - I do not like Oracle :)

There is a bug in cookie management. If a page sets a persistent cookie (expiry date is far enough in the future) this cookie must be kept at the re-launch of the browser. This does not always happen in Safari.

Cookies are only persisted if you close the window/tab that set cookie before quitting Safari. If you quit Safari without expliciutely closing the tab that set cookie - forget about it.

Sample scenario: I fire-up Safari and go to http://www.motime.com, I log in there, work for a while and then do File->Quit without closing the tab/window where I used to work with the page. The cookie will be lost!

If I close the tab first, and then exit Safari - cookie will be persisted.

I submitted a bug report to Apple but in my past experience their Safari support team is not extremely responsive so, I do not have too high hopes on quick fix, so far.

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"
