In my programming endeavors, I've come across all sorts of coding styles, from extreme OOP to simple structured programming. One thing strikes me as apparent: Neither is the correct path. Now, don't get me wrong, both OOP and structured programming have their advantages, but both have disadvantages as well. The problem comes when a programmer sticks only to one style when the situation doesn't really dictate that style. From a simple development point of view, both look like equal alternatives (depending on your programming style). The problem really comes into view with maintenance and expansion. |

I just read an article from SlashDot.org that got me wondering. They are reporting about 70% of users are using IE, about 15% FireFox, and about 5% Safari, with the rest too small to matter. I looked into my logs of 3 sites I host, and they tell a completely different story. All the data I am going to quote here is aggregate data since about October 06. |

Ok, I don't claim to be a legal expert, but recent proceedings with Microsoft over their software patents have really got me wondering the legality and morality of software patents. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that all software needs to be open source, but do they need a patent? A compiled release (under most circumstances) can only be reverse engineered by a programmer who could write the entire software anyway (Since it would need to be built from scratch anyway). What justifies a patent anyway? |

Microsoft recently announced their latest product, named Surface. For those of you who haven’t heard, this new computer is actually a coffee table with a multi-touch screen on the top. That's it. No keyboard, no mouse, no USB cables. Just a screen. This latest bit of hardware runs on Microsoft’s newest operating system, (albeit highly modified) Vista. Now, for those of you who have read my works before, you can tell that I am not a Microsoft fan to begin with, but this thing is interesting! If Surface takes off (and not only takes off, but works as well as it needs to), it will change computing forever. |

It's been a little over a month since the last version of Page Cache, and the newest version has just been released. Version 1.0.8 adds the most requested feature I have heard: Unlimited cache life... A few security holes have been patched (all minor), a few minor bugs have been fixed. Gzip page compression has been fixed for cached pages (uncached pages still are not gziped). Performance seems to have been improved a little too! Thanks for all your donations and comments, without either, I wouldn't have made it this far!!! |
