I have just finished migrating the main site's RSS feeds to use FeedBurner. The sole reason being that I can gather statistics on usage, and also to maximise compatability.
So, if you are using one of the RSS feeds, please update the URL that you are reading from.

About bloody time… |

If you've ever been playing with SELECT boxes and Layers, you know about the z-index bug that exists where a SELECT insists on being the highest element. I cannot remember how many times I have had to write code to hide SELECT boxes before showing a layer over them.
Well, it appears Microsoft have finally got off their arse and fixed it in IE7. Well, what can I say, just in the nick of time eh? Just in time for all those developers now thinking about RIA's/Flash/Flex

Getting Started with Flex |
| by Neil Middleton 5:02 pm Friday, 26 May 2006. |
If you've been keeping an eye on the Flex 2 Beta you'd have released that it actually looks like quite a tasty bit of kit but maybe have not know where to start with regards to learning it.
Well, over the last few days I have been tinkering with Beta 3, and working my way through the included “Getting Started with Flex” tutorials that appear on the start page.
If you've not done Flex development before, these are a fantastic way of picking up some of the basics, getting you into using data etc quite quickly. After working only a few lessons through I was able to start making my own data grids and getting data into them. Note that I have done some Flash development in the past so the notion of dataproviders etc isn't new, so if you've come fresh from a CF only background, you might want to look this stuff up a bit when you come across it.
In short, after learning the basics, I am now at the tinkering stage where I am trying out my own stuff, and learning by doing.

Is anyone actually looking forward to it? |

After all the posts I have been making over the last few days related to Windows, I realised I didn't actually care when Vista came out. From what I can tell, there's nothing in it that lights my fire, nothing that I can see being a worthwhile upgrade.
Yeah, it's got some whizzy icons, and some security tweaks, but is it really the revolution that Bill is promising.
That said, I'll still probably have an install on my machine within a month of release
Anyone else think the same?
