Microsoft, in their efforts to have a finger in every line of software, have released their very own version of Vi. Exactly what their version have, that the regular Vi doesn’t, can be seen here:
So I was reading an article on ComputerWorld with the author listing what he apparently deems to be “must-have” extensions for Firefox. What I found curious, like many other readers, was why the most popular Firefox extension of them all wasn’t even mentioned with a single word in the article. The extension is of course none other than Adblock Plus. Most of the extensions mentioned actually had nothing that I would call “must-have”, I actually only counted 1, maybe 2 if I’m being nice, that I’d call “must-have” extensions.
In response to that article I’ll write my own Top 20 list. I’ll also tag each extension as either “must-have” (MH) or “nice-to-have” (NtH). MH extensions are extensions that will/should benefit everyone and NtH extensions are those that really depend on each persons individual needs. Read more…
I’ve been trying for a while now, to create a book cataloging system and I keep getting stuck on how I should properly handle the recursive category/serie part, as well as how author information should be stored to be most optimized for future searching.
So far I’ve come up with this db structure, although I think I’ll change it so ISBN isn’t a key, and instead create a regular auto incrementing key/id for titles as well. That way I can have several books with the same ISBN. Reason for this, is that sometimes I like having a multi-volume collection listed with each of its volumes.
