Keyboard Face

I did an inventory of the existing javascript auto-complete controls. Here it is:

• http://claudio.cicali.org/papers/13/flexac
• http://momche.net/publish/article.php?page=acdropdown
  Works very well. Seems to be semi-compatible with Safari on Mac
• eBusiness Applications Web ComboBox V3 Paid component.
• WICK - Web Input Completion Kit an open source version of this idea.

Wow! I’ve been planning making something very similar for a project I have in mind. This is probably going to save me several hours (I hope).

The Google Maps API allows you to dynamically display a map from Google Maps , add markers to it(those little windows that pop up showing the address and other bits of information), and assorted other cool things.

Here is Google’s own documentation page on the API.

I’m working on a project now that requires some fancy javascript or AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML). AJAX allows you to retrieve information from the server without a postback or another request for a web page. This allows much faster web browsing and cooler features.

I’m currently experimenting with this control:

It looks to be amazing. I’ll tell you what I find.

This is a highly insightful post on a factor that most SEOs are missing out on.

I run several SQL Server 2000 databases that have lots of updates to them every day. Inevitably our log files grow very large. I discovered a long time ago that you could shrink them by backing them up.

All that was left was to make it back up every day so that it never grew too big to backup. Unfortunately, I let it grow to big and I was no longer able to back it up because it was now 11 gb!

Finally, after much searching, I found this tool that shrinks your log file for you using the SQL-DMO object.

Wow! Didn’t know they would make such big changes going between betas. This page lists the important ones that you have to make on any project made in ASP.NET 2.0 Beta 1.
