Klok your time
Posted by John in News, Programming on June 17th, 2009
I seem to always forget where I actually spend my time when I am working on a client's website, and I've been looking around for decent time tracking software for a while - scribbling down numbers on a bit of paper just doesn't cut it any more. Recently, I stumbled across Klok. It is an Adobe ...
Some new this and that
I'm in the process of actually designing and building a new website, for myself. One that I'm actually going to finish. I don't know how many times I've had ideas, whims and other feelings of the like to start on my own site but never get around to actually finishing it. The plan is to have ...
Prepare for Automatic Update distribution of IE8
Finally, this is what many of us web developers have been waiting for (again). Over the next few weeks and months, Internet Explorer 8 will be pushed out over Automatic Updates/Windows Updates to upgrade users running Internet Explorer 6 or 7. Oh, and just like Internet Explorer 7, 8 is also available completely free, without ...
IE6 Upgrade Warning – Google Code
I do always like a nice way to stop IE6 from further harming people's computers. Telling them they should upgrade is but a small service website owners can use to help people upgrade their browser. The ie6-upgrade-warning is a little script 7.9kb that displays a warning message politely informing the user to upgrade the browser to ...
TG Daily – Google tells users to drop IE6

IE’s Decline Makes ‘Cross Browser’ More Relevant
Though IE still has a commanding lead in the browser market, 2009 should see continued growth for Firefox, Chrome, and Safari (though Chrome could slow down the growth of other alternative browsers once it has extensions). Internet Explorer, meanwhile, is expected to continue its decline. As browser parity nears (at least in terms of user ...
P2P? It’s TV’s fault
As there's clearly not enough handwringing over Hollywood suing iiNet, I should add my two cents - it's Australia's miserly free-to-air broadcaster wot's to blame. Elsewhere in the first world, the film, television and music industries have warmed to the idea that setting lawyers on ISPs and consumers isn't the most effective way to stamp out ...
Australia’s Net Censorship Sparks Outrage
One of the most important Internet stories in Australia right now is that country’s federal government’s plan to start requiring ISP level censorship of the Internet. As part of Prime Minister Kevin Rudd’s AU$125.8 million Cyber-saftey plan. The plan requires that ISPs deliver a “clean-feed” web service to homes, school, and and public web access ...
Net censorship plan backlash
As opposition grows against the Government's controversial plan to censor the internet, the head of one of Australia's largest ISPs has labelled the Communications Minister the worst we've had in the past 15 years. Net censorship plan backlash - BizTech - Technology - theage.com.au. Just an update to the previous article about Conroy asking for Expressions of ...
Conroy calls for filter pilot volunteers
The federal government yesterday called for expressions of interest from internet service providers to conduct a live pilot of the controversial internet content filtering pilot it is planning. With the pilot hoped to be commenced by 24 December 2008, the expressions of interest (EoI) document has been peppered with what appear to be small enticements for ...
