Blog updated and restructured

I’m now using the latest wordpress 2.3. Despites the not so friendly installation, everything is now up and running, and I’ve even managed to use the time on it to restruture my theme. The lack of time was keeping me with the previous ugly one. Now I like the looks of my blog.

Note to self: tag old posts.

Question: How can I tag my posts automatically with the categories associated to them?

Silverlight

Microsoft has just released Silverlight, “a cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in for delivering the next generation of .NET based media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web”.

Version 1.0 is ready for download for Windows and Mac, but the final release for Linux is still being developed in a partnership with Novell.

What to learn more?

World Fastest Broadband

Who would imagine, the world fastest internet line is owned by Sigbritt Löthberg, a 75 years old woman, living in Karlstad, in central Sweden, with a home internet connection of 40Gb/s!

To achieve this speed, a new modulation technique has been developed, with the help of Cisco.

Hey, Mom, I want one too! :D

phpFormGenerator

phpFormGenerator is a Form Generator that will reduce a lot your coding time spent on boring forms creation. It is easily used and very intuitive. You can add as many pages as you want, configure colors, security and what to do with the collected data. When you like it ant it is finished, you can just download the forms in a zip file.

So, remember it, phpFormGenerator can be of great help to you when you have enormous forms to code.

Print Screen

The old P*, in which I was aggregated, has got an awesome face lift.

The looks were completely redesigned, and it is now know has Print Screen, yes, like that little button on most keyboards.

Despites still being only a Portuguese blogger community, the project has the capability to expand one day, and it is an honor to me to be part of such team!

Congratulations to all the developers.
