To help keep better track of my personal software projects and web sites, I’ve set up an installation of Perforce on my Win2000 server. I contemplated using CVS or another open-source solution, but I’m already using Perforce at work so I can just start using it straight away. Perforce’s licensing policy is to allow one to run a Perforce installation for free (no license needed) for a maximum of two users and two client specs.

It’s that time of year again — time to start filling out those NCAA brackets. We’re running a small family & friends pool through CBS Sportsline this year. If you know me and I haven’t invited you yet, just send me an e-mail. Adrian Holovaty has a review of web NCAA bracket interfaces that is pretty interesting.

Using the OtherBlog plug-in, I’m including the titles in the About section on the right-hand side. This is the same technique I use for the rest of the articles, so I differentiate them with categories.
MacEdition Guide to CSS2 Support in PDA/Handheld Browsers is a good detailed look at how well PDA mobile browsers can handle CSS. Their chart includes Web Pro (supplied with Palm Tungsten T), NetFront 3.0, Danger HipTop, and AvantGo 5.0. There are mixed results as well as a lot of “untested” features. (The site was last updated in November 2002 and may be a work in progress.) [Via What Do I Know] I’ve been looking for a good summary of current PDA/mobile web browsers, written for the benefit of web developers. A short list of useful techniques for supporting mobile browsers…
