Did you ever wanted to take a look at cookies or even tweak them? Having access to your cookies as a developer is crucial but even as a user it might be useful to take a look sometimes.

But what about querying them with sql queries? Picture this: Show me all cookies from localhost and order them by expirydate. No problem, I’ll show you how… (more…)

With the web 2.0 a lot of online boomark services came up, the most prominent might be del.icio.us. I really like the idea of having all my bookmarks online so i can access them from wherever I want and I don’t need to backup them by myself etc. I tried del.icio.us and some others but never was really satisfied because every service missed some feature i’d like to have in such a service.

Must have features:

  • Possibility to group bookmarks in folders
  • Possibility to tag bookmarks
  • search through them
  • make them public or private
  • plugin to access the bookmarks in FF or IE
  • Import/Export your bookmarks

Nice to have features:

  • share them with friends
  • random bookmarks
  • recommended bookmarks

Finally I found the free GPL’d online bookmark service called Chipmark, which actually has all the features mentioned above. I can highly recommend it since I use it every day, in IE and FF. They also started to provide a public webservice API that you can use in your own applications. By now you can login and the get all your folders and links. This might be really usefull for some people.

Wow, that was finally my first article here :-) I hope it is usefull for somebody.

While I was testing my web apps in the new Internet Explorer 7 I discovered that sometimes a page is not rendered properly after a refresh. After some testing I realized that somehow the browser is randomly showing a blank (white) page when I hit the reload button a couple of times. The interesting thing was that when I viewed the sourcecode everything was there but the page wasn’t displayed at all. I did some research and found the reasons/solutions for it. (more…)

I know I am a little late because the new Internet Explorer has been already released some weeks ago. However yesterday I had the time to download this new thing and have a try on the new surf experience. Ive just used it for one day now but its awesome till now. On my notebook (old sony vaio) it is much faster than the new Firefox 2.0. (more…)
