Experts Exchange - Just Scroll!
August 23rd, 2008 by YillbWhile reading a story of a story on Neowin.net about how password protected sites, like forums and others that ask you log in are not really secured from people because if the results showed up on a Google search then the Google spider could get to it and so can you!

July 30th, 2008 by YillbWorking on something new and I wanted to use the CSS property box-shadow to add some simpler non-image dropshadows. You can view more at CSS3 dot Info. And while I do have Safari installed, it isn’t my primary browser and so knowing that there was a 3.1 release of Firefox gearing up I managed to find out that it was available to download, named Shiretoko it offers some near features.
What a Bad Way to Start the Week: Worst Monday Ever
July 14th, 2008 by Yillb
Putting the reality of the horrors of the world, particularly those revolving around genocide, and the fact that this individual may in fact be responsible, this has to be one bad Monday to start your week off: to be charged with genocide. It’s a big thing to wake up to.
President of Sudan, Omar al-Bashir has been charged by the International Criminal Court for genocide in Darfur; the first time that a sitting leader of a country has been charged with the crime.
CNN exclusive: ICC prosecutor on Darfur chargesWe request a warrant for the crime of genocide – 6a, b, and c – basically massive rapes and the condition of 2.5 million people – in addition we charged him with crimes against humanity and war crimes.
It’s nice to see an effort to do something about these terrible acts; hopefully this guy won’t be let off the hook by hiding in his country.

July 6th, 2008 by YillbThe guys over at the Flex Show have released: The Flex Show - Fifteen Minutes With Flex - Episode 1. The first episode covers a basic, Hello World Flex application, and covers the program and the basics of using the Flex program and deploying it to a server; simple stuff but a good refresher for someone with basic knowledge of Flex, and great for people looking to get into Flex. I can’t wait to see what they cover next.
You either watch it online or download it. Have fun, enjoy and thanks for the great learning assets.

My Free ActionScript 3 and Flex API Posters and so can you
June 25th, 2008 by YillbWell after about three weeks of waiting my free ActionScript 3 and Flex API posters have arrived. There are five posters total, four Flex related and one for ActionScript 3, which cover the classes found in Flex and ActionScript. If you would like to get your free posters all you need to do is have a Adobe membership (free) and then fill out a form but you need a Flex Builder 3 serial number. If you can prove that you are or were a student you can always get your free copy of Flex at FlexRegistration.com; that’s where I received my license from.
