Attensa

Found a superb aggregator called Attensa. It's an MS Outlook attachement, and retrieves all my RSS feeds. Finally i dont need to go to blog lines any more.
They referred to another site called Del.icio.us. This site is a primitive manner of storing you bookmarks online, tagging etc. Sounded interesting, need to play around lots more.

As for Attensa. Serious suggestion... download it, if you have Outlook installed.

I've been using del.icio.us for quite some time (my links), and I find it immensely useful. For example, you can use one of the del.icio.us javascript favelets to to create bookmarks as you surf the web, and then use the personal RSS feeds from del.icio.us to create a list of recently updated links on your website, all without doing any manual updates to your site!

Del.icio.us only looks primitive (and that's probably because it is in pre-alpha stage), but looks are obviously deceptive. It is immensely powerful. Besides, why should I store my bookmarks in my browser when I can save them on the web and access it anywhere, while keeping it better organized and easier to search through?

I'd normally have been happy to use Attensa, but it runs on Outlook, and Outlook has those two dreaded letters before it's name.

He he. The two dreaded letters before the "Outlook" is the company which brought out the OS you are currently using, I guess.

As for looks, that of course is secondary. But Del.icio.us will and is being targetted to persons who utilze the internet for fun more than the geeks. So i guess they'll soon be looking into it. And just guessing, maybe Google will buy it after that :D, considering that it will help a search engine understand a persons' interests and inter-relating them...u know what i mean or maybe start.com will buy it.

Theming in Whidbey using CSS

Continuing my blog titled Themes in Whidbey . I would like to mention some great points I did find out today about Whidbey featrures. How many times have you got sick of developing Sites which have themes???? I mean every page u create has to have, maybe in ASP, something like <link href="<%=Session["ThemeFile"]%>.css"/> I have been doing since a long time. Do mention if you have a simpler method of defining a variable CSS for your page!!! Whidbey simplifies this further. Now in ASP.NET, all you will have to do is Create Themes directory, if not aldready present, Create a directory for each theme required, maybe Black, Gray,etc. Dump your CSS files into this directory. in Page_PreInit method define the Theme as Page.Theme="<Theme directory Name>". Further can be made into Page.Theme=(string)Session["ThemeType"] and viola, your theme management is take care by ASP.NET When you want to change the theme, the...

My first problem with AJAX

I was using Callback (AJAX) to retrieve a page i had developed . Lets start all over, I was using AJAX to retrieve a part of the contents of a web page. Cool, simple, it downloaded without a pain, then I innerHTMLed it to a span tag. Worked fine, successful, clapped my hands etc.etc. Clicked on the button which had seemed to appear out of nowhere. And then, it all fell apart. The feared exclamatory symbol appeared on the status bar.... And for the newbies, thats an indication of a JavaScript error in IE. Of course, as usual i was all curses at my IE window......Anyway to make a long story short (i AM quite sleepy u know). the scripts which i seemed to be innerHTMLing to the span tag are not executed. And what i mean is anything between the script tags which have been innerHTMLed to that span tag are not executed. Of course i can see a ray of hope in the distance. I mean the distance till tomorrow morning. And just for kicks, check out a hi-fundoo flash file titled EPIC 2004 . And for...
