Oy. Had a power supply go bad a couple days ago. Had to do emergency transplant today to get my machine up and running again. I've been working on Linux alot lately and have been really enjoying but I'm still pretty tied to my Windows box. I have been using CVS for alot of my documents, particularly the text ones, and I like it. I need to start using the same apps across platforms so I can use a CVS repository to store (and have backups of) my documents and then I'll be able to edit the latest versions no matter what OS I'm on. Time to fire up OpenOffice on Linux (strange that I use in on Win but not on linux)

I find it funny and frustrating at the same time that this "new" technology that is making such a buzz these days (AJAX) is technology that has been around for years. We were working with XMLHTTPRequest stuff in mozilla more than 2 years ago. The problem seems to be we didn't have any really great applications that used it. Now Google uses it for some web apps and now there's a book coming out on it: ( at amazon) Crap, I guess there are 3 books out or coming out on it. This is a technology I think is great and I for one am going to make sure I'm up on it.

Oh, and if you want to read some online articles about the technology developer.mozilla.org has a whole section on it.
