New release of Nhibernate EAP

The most interesting thing today was an email from Manning with the new release of the EAP of Nhibernate in Action (still in chapter 3 :( ) .
On the plus side, first time I ever bother reading the table of contents in detail, and yes, I found an appendix called Introducing ActiveRecord and MonoRail, at first this made me really happy, but now that I think about it, the appendix should really only be about Active Record, else its gonna be too short.
I think I would like to see a mention of Machine Migrations (and similar tools)

PS: Did I just say this is the most interesting thing in the day ? ( well appart from lunch in the park yeah, it pretty much was)

No Non-sense jQuery

John Resig just posted some talks he gave and they are so easy to understand that it hurts. I really like the jQuery syntax, ok is a different approach to a JS library than ExtJs, and I like it, unobtrusive and lightweight with loads of plug ins available.

I really like this grid (ok ok it does use a table for layout but hey, looks good and you read the code and immediately know what's happening) .

MS Word save to PDF

hi there
I dont think this is ultra necesary or anything like that but i know i ll need it at some point
Micro$oft has a plug in to save a document as a pdf its well integrated and seems to work ok.

there are other options if you dont have word 2k7 I think is called pdf95

Another Debugger for IE

We all know how painful it is to debug websites in ie, (particularly 6 what a terrible browser that.... i ll rant properly about it another day) today i stumbled across this little tool call DebugBar it was all great until I installed it in my machine and it doesn't work. (no contextual menus, no nothing)
However I ll have to give it a try in another machine as mine is a Vista Home Edition ( yuck yuck) I should be updating to ultimate pretty soon ( hopefully Saturday) when I know I m safeguarded by at least a virtual environment to work in.


All for now if anyone has comments/ opinions very welcome :D

Some Cool Things

Today's interesting find is Browser Plus I heard about this first a few months ago but there was not much real info about it.
I have to say i was really impressed by the installer short, sweet and very intuitive.
Also the capabilities that it provides seem simple but powerful, i m very interested in the Ruby Interpreter Service
Promising.
