Nice little feature in IE8

I saw a demo internally today of a new feature in Live Search that I liked. Apparently you can now start searching in IE8’s search bar and you might get an “instant answer” as a suggestion immediately. It’ll even do things like arithmetic :-) BTW… in...

Alex and Savas at Dev8D to talk about "Famulus"

The Dev8D event is now over. As always, David did an excellent job at organizing a developer-oriented event that doesn’t follow the traditional, academic-style workshops/conferences. It was fun. It was also great talking with the other geeks in the repository...
