IE7Pro - The Ultimate Add-On for Internet Explorer

Ive been using Avant for years, it had tabs before IE did, it was based on IE, it had URL shortcuts and a whole bunch of stuff. IEPro ads a few of these things to basic IE7 which I use at work, so one step closer to not using Avant, bout timie they upped the ante.

Web Worker Daily » Archive Why Your Boss Doesn’t Want You to Telework «

Im working a project right now that stems from this belief of working from home. It can be a lot more productive for the right people, but then it can be a nightmare even for good workers. I think the key point would be to implement on a trial basis with some clear goals or targets, with proven measurements in place to track against.

The comments in this article have some good points, its not always easy to get managers to accept change such as this.

World first - BogBlog

Predictive text is that amazing yet frustrating technology that mobile phones use to make typing your sms's faster. It works by realising that theres only a few words that can be made from a string of keypad presses, then analysing the most likely choice and substituting your typed characters as you type.

Amazing.
Except two things come to mind. One, it doesn't then shorten these words to sms speak.
Eg. "Omfg it will gr8 2 c u". The other is when it doesn't recognise a word, eg. "Ill be there when I've finished Crasshog". Replacing "crapping" with "crasshog", now I don't know the word crasshog, there must be one, but the time it takes to add a word to the dictionary is normally enough to put people right off.

Please phone makers here me out and shorten predcted words to txt speak, and allow me to add crapping to the dictionary much easier!

End of thought, bugger off.
