“Brevity is achieved by selection rather than compression.”– Donald M. Murray

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).
