Wiki
Have you folks started using Wiki for documenting your projects ? If not, think you should move right away. Its a decent and a must tool for most of the projects
Some of the ways i use it for :
1) documentation
2) update status email to my clients - it does automatically when a page is updated
3) traceability on the changes. you can track your changes and see the milestones you crossed. Works if you do a postmortem analysis of the project.

MYSQL
MY SQL has taken the world by surprise over years. It has been growing rapidly and has come up as the sole choice of database tool from startup to mid level enterprises across the world.
Thought some technical background and architecture of this software could help this blog audience to take it to the next stage.
MY SQL Architecure
Awaiting the new release on this and its features. Huge enterprises have always been reluctant to get onboard. Future would prove how costly it was to them.

Microsoft Internet Explorer Patch problem
Folks watch out if you are planning to patch your system.
http://infotech.indiatimes.com/articleshow/2060307.cms
Installing Microsoft's latest six-bug patch earlier this month proved costly for many computer users. Many of them discovered to their horror that they were not able to use Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) after installing the six-bug patch.
Acknowledging the problem, the Microsoft security managers have now published some temporary fixes for the problem. In a blog posting, Christopher Budd, a programme manager with the Microsoft Security Response Team (MSRC), said, "The issue here is that after applying the update, these users may then see the 'File Download -- Security Warning' dialogue box raised when starting IE." He added, "After you close the dialogue, you cannot start IE."
According to Budd, the problem exists for those users who have moved the Temporary Internet Files directory to some other location. If this has been done, Internet Explorer would no longer have access to the folder in the new location and would refuse to start.
Though the IE team said that it is looking into the issue, the MSRC has generated a support document with two workarounds to fix the problem. The first is to return the cache folder to its previous, default location. The second is to grant the required permissions to the folder in its new location.
However, some users on the Windows Update support forum claimed that they had not moved the Temporary Internet Files (TIF) directory, but still had problems with their IE7.
Microsoft added that the problem affects IE7 on both Windows Vista and Windows XP SP2.

Liquid Widths
This has been around for almost a year and has gained popularity among the end users. So far, I havent heard any huge disadvantages from using this .
My site would defenitely have liquid widths ...even if its difficult to tweak. Its going to be the future.
would it really work for flash based sites ? any examples of websites implemented this ?

AJAX Deal
Whats the big deal about AJAX.
Agree it does wonders in few ways. But the same POST/GET process occurs as with pageloads. The difference is it happens transparently. But not necessarily quicker . Therefore, developers must be concerned with providing the user visual clues as to what is happening so they don’t think the system is hung on extra long data loads due to network latency, etc
Bottom line :
I wont bet my money on all websites and webpages to use AJAX. May be some pages in my site, you bet YES .
