Living Room / When Clippy got the axe (Funny videos from Microsoft)
« on: August 22, 2011, 04:59 PM »
A look back, for those that missed it or want to see it again.

In 2001, a Microsoft advertising campaign for Office XP included the (now defunct) website officeclippy.com, which highlighted the disabling of Clippit in the software. It featured the animated adventures of Clippit (voiced by comedian Gilbert Gottfried, in an annoying voice) as he learned to cope with unemployment ("X...XP...As in, ex-paperclip?!") and parodied behaviors of the Office assistant.

Living Room / European security group issues warning on HTML5
« on: August 06, 2011, 02:42 AM »
ENISA look at 13 specifications within HTML5 and found 51 security issues. Some of the issues can be fixed by tweaking the specifications, while others are more risks based on the features that users should be alerted to, Hogben said. One of the features that concerns ENISA in the paper is termed "form tampering."

The HTML5 specification allows for the "submit" button for a Web-based form to be placed anywhere on a Web page. It means it would be possible for an attacker to inject other HTML onto the page, such as a different form button, and then cause the information in the form to be sent to the attacker rather than the legitimate website.

General Software Discussion / Sticky notes for Linux?
« on: June 29, 2011, 09:51 PM »
I would really like a sticky note app for Linux that is comparable to Notezilla on Windows.

Specifically, I'd like one where I can hide notes, arrange them on either multiple boards or in a tree, schedule repeating alarms (with snooze option), and the ability for them be scheduled to open urls.

Does anyone know of such an app?

Living Room / Scented USB Drives?
« on: June 17, 2011, 03:54 PM »
Your co-worker in the next cubicle had burritos for lunch and they didn't quite agree with him.

As they say, this is a good place for a stick-up but unfortunately, you don't have one. Nor do you have one of those Glade plug-in air fresheners.

But luckily you do have your scented USB drive and can plug that in, at least till your co-worker's digestive track stops spazzing. And while it might be better if it were pina colada scented, anything is better than smelling Bob's burritos.

WorkTimer is a free web application that allows you to track time spent on projects, with features such as reports, invoicing, data export, and an optional desktop app (Adobe Air).

Seems this might be great for some of the freelancers among us. Has anyone had any experiences using this?
