Michael Howard blogs about using the Standard Annotation Language to improve static code analysis and find more bugs (including security bugs) in your C and C++ source code.

I've been using Microsoft OneNote for a few years now, and find it quite useful for storing all sorts of useful things.

<p>I've been using <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365?legRedir=true">Microsoft OneNote</a> for a few years now, and find it quite useful for storing all sorts of useful things. We're also using it at home as a way of recording recipes too, instead of having countless slips of scrap paper flying around. Now along comes Google Notebook - a free web-based service that sounds like a pretty similar idea. It only works for Firefox (and IE) at the moment.</p> https://david.gardiner.net.au/2006/04/hey-thats-me 2006-04-14T20:24:00.000+09:30 2006-04-14T20:24:00.000+09:30

I just noticed there's a link to my blog on the Australian SQL Server User Group home page - I'm not sure how long it's been there, but then I don't always look up in the top-right corner :-)

<p>I just noticed there's a link to my blog on the <a href="http://www.sqlserver.com.au/">Australian SQL Server User Group</a> home page - I'm not sure how long it's been there, but then I don't always look up in the top-right corner :-)</p> <p>Which reminds me, when I have some spare time I need to see if I can fix the layout problem with their Forums area in Firefox. I also put my hand up to add some RSS feeds to the site which I haven't done anything about yet.</p> <p>Returning to a positive note however, I'm pleased to see that the Adelaide SQL group is doing really well at the moment. Maybe it's our <a href="http://robfarley.blogspot.com/">jet-setting leader</a>, or the great speakers, but we are getting regular crowds of 30+ and I'm always learning something new each time I go.</p> https://david.gardiner.net.au/2006/01/urn-support-for-firefox 2006-01-27T15:52:00.000+10:30 2006-01-27T15:52:00.000+10:30

I noticed this extension for FireFox that adds support for URNs.

Firefox is able to use special hints embedded in web pages to pre-load other web pages that the user is most likely to click on next.

<p>Firefox is able to use <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Prefetch">special hints embedded in web pages</a> to pre-load other web pages that the user is most likely to click on next. Because the next page has already been prefetched it displays almost instantly.</p> <p><a href="https://www.edochan.com/programming/pf.htm">Here's a good tutorial on creating the Prefetching Hints</a>.</p> https://david.gardiner.net.au/2005/12/firefox-15-rediscover-web 2005-12-06T10:29:00.000+10:30 2005-12-06T10:29:00.000+10:30
