Javascript [1] to create DHTML [2] that looks like Flash [3]
A tiny Javascript library from Poland called Alladyn lets you create spectacular animation effects in DHTML that look like Flash, but without... Flash! And they work on almost any modern browser using very clever techniques to achieve compatibility. Check out their gallery, you'll be amazed at what's possible.

Is there a way to tweak the cross-posting form handler in Radio?
I love the cross-posting feature in Radio (when you click on the Post button to the right of every rss item Radio will copy the item and author to your desktop homepage for posting). I try to edit these crost-posts before publishing them to indent blockquotes and correctly credit the original author.
Is there a way to tweak the code that handles the Post button's click action? I imagine this involves editing a form handler.
RSS Business Cards
Gotta try this when I find the time:
Radio Wish: [John Robb] Wouldn't it be interesting to have an RSS variant (new name obviously) for subscribing to personal contact data off of weblogs? Name, weblog name, weblog location, physical address (or as much as you want to provide), spam free e-mail account location, IM link to username, location of RSS feed, Bio info, bio pic, resume, etc. To a large extent this would replace my bookmark and e-mail contact list. I truly think that weblogs are starting to become global 24x7 business cards. This would help me collect them. Answer: [Kunekt] Kunekt Cards make your contact information available as an RSS or RDF (News) feed.

Shareware Authoring
Yet another reason I started a weblog was to have a place to broadcast my shareware announcements (now I just need to write some shareware).
Starting a Shareware Business. While I'm not a shareware author, and never plan to be (though it was a dream of mine long ago to become a programmer) this first article, in a new series on about starting a shareware business, piques my interest,...

Hey, another Six Degrees user...
On email and keeping it straight.
At work I use a PC, with Outlook, to manage my email. I hate it, but only becuase I can't make myself like it, not for any quantifyable reason.
So, with that in mind, I realize that the FuzzyGroup has just released Inbox Buddy 0.9, a 'plugin' for Outlook. I'm downloading it right now, and hope that it does a better job than Six Degrees did for me. (read the Buddy Blog for a quick update on where it's at in development)

Here's another note for that work-related project mentioned in my previous post:
Keep email templates out of the B2B realm, please..
I pretty much disagree with almost every point in Brand-Aid for Everyday Email, by Barry Stamos, especially for B2B communications.
I deal with about 100 clients on a weekly basis, and get probably 1,000 emails on average each week. Only one of them sends me email in a branded HTML form. You know which client I hate to receive email from? Yep, you guess it, that one.
[snip]
Also, I personally use two or three email clients, and some support HTML and others don't. Why risk the chance of having your message displayed horribly to me, if you don't know what kind of email client I'm using? Isn't the real message more important than your damn logo? I mean really? If you're emailing me for a reason, then it's probably important to you that I get the message quickly and easily, right?

Question for the author (inluminent): newsletters can contain multiple bodies, enabling the client's email program to choose which format to render to the user. If your email client chooses to render the html version, does it still bother you?
I am jotting this down because of a work-related project:
UseIt: Great points about Email Newsletters.
Do you publish a newsletter? Are you thinking about it?
If so, read this article from UseIt: Email Newsletters Pick Up Where Websites Leave Off
You'll find some great information, and gain a better understanding of what's important in a newsletter by today's standards.

When you're done with that one, go read this one about writing headlines.

Ananova No credit to humans for smaller ozone hole
Independent Online - 4 hours ago
Washington - This year's Antarctic ozone hole is the smallest since 1988, but this has little to do with earthly activities and much to do with weird weather in the stratosphere, say US government scientists.
