in Typography Check on danielmiessler.com | grep understanding

I don't see that the text size is any bigger or more readable than any other site, which means that it is tiny and impossible to read on my 15.4" 1680x1050 monitor. I do not recommend that websites specify font size, let the browser handle it because each user has different needs.

There is no need to shorten urls. They should be descriptive, not short.

in Skype Storm Worm is not a Worm. It’s a Virus! on Elliott Back's Blog
Worm? Virus? Today the lines are so blurred that it's best to just call everything malware. Most people, including the news, use the term virus as a synonym for malware.

in 14 Tips for Moving From Full-Time to Freelance Work on Instigator Blog
Your tip about getting work from your past employer is spot on. I've done this twice, and my past employeer is one of my biggest contracts. I should note, however, that I make less per job this way, but more per hour... Guess why! StumbleUpon and Digg must've taken up more work time than I thought!

EtreTask has to be one of the most frustrating apps in the world. No due dates... No sorting... No use for that thing...

in Microsoft Office 12, so far on Niklas' blog
We've looked briefly at online docs (Google, specifically) but we'd prefer to keep an documents in-house. I'm surprised that you feel that MS Office enhances work. I personally find that it gets in the way of my work, with the interface and file format switching every two or three years.

Recently we've been floating the idea of moving all workstations to Ubuntu, but we're stuck with Solidworks (CAD software) that won't run in Linux.

in Microsoft Office 12, so far on Niklas' blog
After some initial testing, we found that _everyone_ at our office hated MS Office 2007. We’ve all switched to Open Office. Not only is it easier to use, but it cost us nothing to setup and install. The $12400 that was saved went right into our pockets: every employee got an Open Office bonus of $250 in their paycheck last August, with an additional $1650 used to refurnish the office kitchen.

in Skinkers Is Bringing Live TV To Your Desktop - Join The Beta on The Beta News
Don’t forget, Microsoft is a Joost advertiser. This is not a “Joost Killer”, it is hardly a rival. I’m happy that I use Ubuntu and don’t have to put up with this garbage. Joost will soon be available for Linux, anyway.

As for the Joost invites, it's just a copy of Google's Gmail publicity stunt. Gets a lot of Diggs, that's all.

I don't see the relationship between Django and Joost. What exactly have you created? When can we test it?

Thnk Yu!

I also agree that the letter dropping is getting ridiculous, but what choice do webmasters have? Going with a TLD other than .com in order to correctly spell a word won't do- anything that's not a .com or .org looks like a spam or fishing site.

in How To Login From an Internet Cafe Without Worrying About Keyloggers on Dan Cameron
You could just cut and paste characters from any website, one by one. You actually went and tested 8 apps to come to the conclusion that they only do what they are supposed to do (capture keystrokes)? It should have been obvious.

Do both mail programs work in all browsers? I have had problems with Gmail in Konqueror, and had to change the UA to get it to work. How is Live in this regard?

in Google’s YouTube Will Offer Copyright Protection "Very Soon" on Marketing Pilgrim
Actually, with all the major labels signing contracts to provide YouTube with content, this will soon be a mute point. Who cares if some twelve year old has Britney Spears music in the background of his video, when Britney's videos are licensed to YouTube?

in The startup sound in Vista … on Scobleizer
I like customizing my OS, and the startup sound is one of the first things to go. I'll continue using Ubuntu, then, as it lets me remove that annoying startup sound.

Thanks, Chris! This is the first time that I've won any of the many Aximsite contests. Wait, this is a leckness.com contest, not Aximsite. Gotta still keep trying then...

Thanks!

No reason why not. There's only 52 cards in the deck, and professional players have no problem remembering what cards were already played.

in Yard Sale Contest #2 - Other Stuff on Chris Leckness
I just bought my fourth Axim cradle. For some reason I go through these things like water. So #7 (Dell Axim X50/X51 Cradle) would certainly help me out next time I ruin a cradle.

My username is dotancohen at aximsite.

Dell engineers: contact me when you need tips on redesigning your cradle!
