IE Developers Toolbar Beta… a must have!

The IE Developer Toolbar provides several features for deeply exploring and understanding Web pages.

Features I like the most:

  • Click-find elements in DOM
  • Ruler
  • Disable cache
  • Cleared cache for this domain

Plus it has a DOM Explorer better than the Firefox has

SerialTerm – An RS232 Terminal Software for Serial Devices

Just published my this piece of software as a contribution to my8051.com community. SerialTerm was my experimental project done in VB6, which i used to play with my modem and other serial devices.

SerialTerm v.1.5.17

I just had to refine a it a little to version 1.5. Thanks to najam47 for a nice header and chall3ng3r for an installation wrapper to bring this project to a deliverable shape 🙂

Visit my8051.com for download and more details on SerialTerm.

War of the e-paper ships

Imagine you have a blank booklet in your hand that you can fill with your favorite author’s latest edition in seconds by “uploading” the currently available e-books version to your booklet, to read it on without batteries when you cant use your laptop or computer, more over you can change the font size to your choice or even change the contrast of the content.

Not so far but in April 2006, Fujitsu is going to launch its recently demonstrated e-paper to consumer market.

I’m anxiously waiting for the time when I’ll have a photo calendar on my office wall which can pull my tasks and appointment from my Outlook and update the photo every hour from my photo collection on my computer!

Google Sets : a great tool for online research

A cool tool to get things of a similar kind from a few given samples. I think its a great tools for targeted online research, which will fill you with absolutely relevant stuff in first attempt, which is a bit harder to do with search engines.

For example click the following link, which was given soap, rpc and dcom as samples, will yield an interesting result on related technologies.

http://labs.google.com/sets?hl=en&q1=soap&q2=rpc&q3=dcom&q4=&q5=&btn=Large+Set

try this one: (sql server, oracle, mysql)

http://labs.google.com/sets?hl=en&q1=sql+server&q2=oracle&q3=mysql&q4=&q5=&btn=Large+Set

and even this: (aspx, asp, jsp, php)

http://labs.google.com/sets?hl=en&q1=asp&q2=aspx&q3=jsp&q4=php&q5=&btn=Large+Set

and try it yourself at http://labs.google.com/sets
