The Unheard Word

I’ve just added accesskeys to the menu items and “skip to” links on my re-vamped business website. (And about time, too, I know!)

Well, I feel thoroughly put in my place. 🙂

I do tend to jump the gun, somewhat! I suppose I’m guilty of making assumptions based on Microsoft’s past record, which may not be fair, but I did conveniently forget that the IE7 beta is just that: a beta.

Dave Shea from Mezzoblue was quick off the mark with his review of the new IE7 beta.

I just love this script from Project Seven.

I gave Rani his 3rd (out of a total of 4) injection today. It was supposed to be two weeks (in other words, around about now) before an improvement in the swelling was evident. But there is no change at all.

I had given up on this. The widget automatically picked up (presumably from my system) that I am in Perth so I assumed it would know I was in Perth, Western Australia as that is the setting on my system — but the temperatures being returned were ridiculously different to the actual weather here. I assumed this widget was only useful for U.S. users who could also enter their ZIP codes to choose their city.

This is really just a heads-up for some not-new news, but I thought this idea shows promise.

Longhorn is no more. (Well, maybe it is, but I’m guessing it won’t be referred to as Longhorn from now on!) Microsoft has announced the new (well, upcoming) Windows version is to be called Windows Vista.

A friend’s ex-wife, who had the misfortune to be involved in the London bombings a couple of weeks ago, has apparently pocketed some cash from talking to the media (tv and magazine).

My first instinct was “That’s shocking. Making money out of a tragedy and other people’s misery.” But actually her story didn’t come across like that and truthfully I don’t care what her motives were and are. It is my own reaction, which was identical to those of the friends and family to whom I mentioned it, that interests me.

The Tao of Equus by Linda Kohanov – it is just awesome in the truest sense of the word. I’ll do a proper review when I’ve finished but I wanted to share how totally awed I am by what I’m reading at the moment.
