After exactly a gap of one year yesterday I impulsively picked up a copy of PC Quest from the newsstand – $Deity knows what I was intending to prove.
The magazine is now more direction-less than ever before. One thing which has prompted me to pick up the copy was a review of Xara Webstyle 3 – believe me the review occupies a quarter of a page!! The issue also contains 2 full page ads of PC Quest Linux 8.0 to be released next month, the CD picture says based on < gasp >Red Hat 7.1 < / gasp >
Spent some time on working with Dream Weaver MX templates – This version of DW has a greatly enhanced template capability and looks like it will be for the first time that we can provide a truly WYSIWYG Editable templates for PHP based applications, something which has been troubling me for quite some time now.
Also downloaded and installed Mozilla 1.3b – mainly for the calendar support – now to write a script which changes the .ics files to .pdb which will work with the Palm Calendar. I have the needed proof of concept code but it is scattered all over my network











I’ve noticed that over the past few years, the quality of PC magazines have dropped. They seem to contain more advertisments than actual content.
I love Dreamweaver MX. It’s a lot more powerfully than previous versions, and I love how it has support for PHP (as well as the development languages).
We never mix HTML with the PHP code, hence using DreamWeaver is restricted to experimenting with template designs which our PHP applications can use. However if you are really interested in doing PHP with DW take a look at http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/javascript/2003/02/07/dreamweaver.html
Thanks for the link.
