DHTML Menu Studio Extension for Dreamweaver
Date: 11/12/05
(WebDesign) Keywords: html, google
Does anyone know where I can find a copy of that extension for DW8? Apparently it comes packaged with MX (and if it comes with 8 as well then I can't find it :/). I've also looked on the Macromedia Exchange, but couldn't find it there either.
If not, can someone recommend a free or low cost DHTML menu extension for DW8? I've Googled a few, but can't decide which one to go with.
Thanks in advance!

Adsense problem
Date: 11/14/05
(WebDesign) Keywords: google
I'm designing a template for a client, and for some odd reason once I added an additional space at the top of the layout for a second adsense ad, the one that was in the "Advertisments" column doesn't work anymore. But when I take the top one away, it works again . . .
Anyone familiar with a problem like this? Adsense is beginning to be the bain of my existence, first I had to search all over to find a fix for the Firefox adsense flicker problem when you have it in a float, and now this.
The url where this is occurring is:
http://triplelproductions.com/demos/leon
Thanks in advance for any help,
Lindsey
EDIT!!!!
I've "solved" the problem. Adsense Conflicts.
Apparently you can't use 728x90 ads with 160x600. I'm going to wait still to hear from google, to see if they respond and write an article about this later, which I'll eventually link to.
Hope this helps someone else.

Google Web Accelerator Back With Vengeance

Google Web Accelerator is back with a vengeance.
If your web site bandwidth consumption has spiked in the last couple of days, look to blame it on Google Web Accelerator.

Weblogs Inc. is now profiled by Google as one of AdSense success stories along with Camcorderinfo.com and Askthebuilder.com.

sites opened with target=_blank, referral
Date: 11/14/05
(Web Development) Keywords: google
Can sites opened with target="_blank" be seen in referral logs, or only ones that open in the same window? I don't know where I got the idea that a link opened with target="_blank" means the linked site cannot see where the click came from...maybe I'm crazy. I've googled my little heart out and can't find any info about this, so I figured this would be a good place to ask. Yes, and I know we're not supposed to be using target=_blank anymore ;)

Thunderbird: blank lines quoting
Date: 11/17/05
(Mozilla) Keywords: html, google
Hello everyone.
Is there any tweak or extension that can help me make Thunderbird (I use 1.5 20051025) stop quoting blank (empty) lines? I think that quoting them is useless.
For example, I want the following message piece:
-- cut --
>> blah! blah!
>>
> Yah-yah! Blah is cool
Yes, I think that blah is cool too
And yah is cool as well
-- /cut --
to be quoted as:
-- cut --
>>> blah! blah!
>> Yah-yah! Blah is cool
> Yes, I think that blah is cool too
> And yah is cool as well
-- /cut --
And if anyone knows the way to make Thunderbird insert a space right after the quoting sign ('>') that will be great as well. The text right after the > looks ugly. I.e. I want to have:
-- cut --
>> Quote 1
> Quote 2
-- /cut --
instead of:
-- cut --
>>Quote 1
>Quote 2
-- /cut --
This applies to the messages sent only.
I use plain-text, not html.
I've searched the google, forums, faqs and knowledge base trying to find some solution to these issues but in vain.
Any help, hint or advice will be GREATLY appreciated.

This thing ROCKS!

(SQL Server) Keywords: database, sql, security, google

Yesterday after lunch, I got one of those famous, hurried "critical" requests to export some data to a vendor for an important project. Someone from our Stock Administration team insisted on meeting with me to give me a USB drive to get the database image. Apparently, they needed someone to import the data on our system, then export it in a format requested by the vendor in order to test and configure a new offering for us.
I was already irritated that yet another team had failed to document and obtain resources for their data requirements, therefore making an emergency for me that very important people would hear about if I didn't follow through. I did what I aways do, I said I'd look at it and see what could be done. Oh man...you know what I saw? This dude had been walking around all over the place with this little flash drive in is pocket with stock administration data for EVERYONE IN OUR COMPANY. This data included Social Security Numbers, Birthday's, Names, Addresses, Salaries, and Stock Options. AND he wanted me to just send it off to some company to play around with. I was pretty mad, especially when he had his manager call me to complain.
I explained that this was in violation with our SOX commitments and that the data would have to be at the very least cleansed before it was sent out. I also mentioned that I didn't particularly want my SSN sent to parts unknown for a proof-of-concept project. After that I found a kind way of mentioning that carrying around sensitive data in an unsecure format is grounds for termination. Then his manager called the CIO. All the better, at least the CIO understands INFORMATION and the protection thereof!
I didn't have a clue how to cleanse data, but it had to get done fast, so I did a google search for tools, and I found this little gem. The DTM Data Generator contained a robust set of tools for analyzing the SQL tables field by field, while retaining the referential integrity. It's very versatile. I'm definately going to use this again. I think I might finally generate those mean sets of data for our QA team to test against. This tool rocks.
