Third episode of IT Insight available

May 25, 2006

So far I have been able to publish a new episode of IT Insight every week. The last one was about SOA and it seems that the subject is generating a lot of interest. I am currently preparing a white paper on successful SOA implementation for an upcoming episode and I sincerely hope that it […]

Working on Address Book URL Insider 1.1

March 23, 2006

I am currently working on Address Book URL Insider 1.1. I have cleaned up the code to make it less intrusive and therefore avoid possible conflicts with other plug-ins. Besides that I am also working on supporting RSS feeds. I expect version 1.1 to support RSS 0.91, 1.0 and 2.0, with support for Atom coming […]

WebSphere Labs

It doesn’t do much at this time, however, if there is interest I may […]

Address Book plug-in

March 4, 2006

I recently learned about an Address Book plug-in for Mac OS X that allowed users to check directions using Google Maps. You can download it from www.briantoth.com. What I found interesting was the fact that the Address Book could be extended. I decided to take a look at what could be achieved and I quickly […]
