Lots today..
Some Flash related stuff:
- Swf_fu – a neat little Rails helper for embedding SWF files in your applications, especially handy if you’re using CDN’s
- Ruby-ImageSpec – Another tiny, but handy utility which gets you the dimensions of a given image, or flash file, very handy if you’re using SWFs in a CMS, and want to avoid the Firefox 100% bug
- HTML5 – The momentum against using plugins in the browser appears to be growing. The XHTML 2 Working Group is shutting down at the end of this year to focus on HTML 5
And some people talking out of their arses:
- An argument against selling different versions of your product – which only works in the M$ case, the epitomy of evil. The 37signals argument just fails completely. More resources = more cost to them.
- Jacob Nielsen claiming masking passwords is bad – which is fine if you don’t mind having any security
