Richard's Rant

Links for Tuesday 11 March 2008

• A nice comparison of Operating Systems
• ARS Technica has a review of the new KDE desktop. Looks pretty sweet.
• Gigaom has an interview with Ray Ozzie
• Very cool Linq editor
• Aaron Shneider has an article on a bug in the AJAX Autocomplete Extender
• Ranko philosophises about whether development is just about writing code.
• A very interesting article on Security Best Practices
• This article makes me excited about prosethetics: A really cool Bionic Eye
• In my wanderings today, came across the Microsoft Pattern and Practices
• I have started to play with Twitter again. You can find me here
