Searchable weblog via google

As an update to the previous post, I got a great comment from Fred Grott, who's managed to figure out how to use Google to search not just a whole domain but part of a domain. So this should work for other Radio and Roller bloggers too.

A bit of HTML and JavaScript hacking later and I've now got a google search box for this blog. Neat! Thanks Fred!

Good paper on SWT layouts

Christiaan ten Klooster pointed me to this interesting paper on layouts for SWT. Whilst this is nothing totally brand new to anyone aware of AWT or Swing, the nice thing about this article is seeing that out of the box SWT has some sophisticated & poweful layouts.

Most importantly the layouts in SWT actually work as desired! :) Anyone who's ever struggled with layouts on AWT or Swing will know what I mean here. GridBagLayout anyone? :)

Searchable Weblog

Searchable Weblog!.

Cool!

While surfing the Radio top 100 list, I notice that The Cartoonist has a simple search box just below the calendar.  I didn't think I could find a free service (such as Google) until I got my own domain. I thought wrong.

So I added a search box using Pico's free search service. Now I am compliant with Day 29's recommendations for a more accessible website.

[Blogfish]

Excellent - thanks for the link. I've now done the same. Though unfortunately you've got to manually reindex your site which sucks. (I guess we should pay for the service then :-). Its a shame Google only does searches by domain rather than by base URL.

Bob Foster's blog

Bob Foster's blog. Another Eclipse addict got blog author of XMLBuddy plugin [dorodok]

Cool - I use XMLBuddy every day. Now we just need Bob to fix his RSS feed...

.NET Patents - oh what a suprise (not)

.NET Patents.

CNet:

Microsoft is applying for a patent that covers a variety of functions related to its .Net initiative. But critics say if approved, the wide-ranging patent could stymie innovation.

Hmm, this could suck big time for open source implementations of .NET such as Mono.

[Matt Croydon::postneo]

Indeed this could suck big time for any non-MS versions of .NET. For me this is one of the biggest reason for sticking with Java and not using .NET - we all know MS will eventually use .NET as a tool to maintain its Windows monopoly by making versions of .NET on other platforms either illegal, incompatible, delayed or incomplete.

Why does it not suprise me one bit that MS could kill Mono at the drop of a hat when its served their needs of making .NET appear a valid cross platform solution. Before anyone mentions Rotor, please look at the license which makes it totally useless for real software development.
