I’ve been using the “Control Suite” for a couple of development projects and I’m 100% pleased. The tools are modular (so you can take what you want), class based (so they don’t break your other code), well documented, fast, easy, and clean.
Anyone who works with/develops AJAX and a dynamic web-user-interface… especially if you already use prototype… I highly recommend you try this set of tools.
Control Suite : High Quality Controls & Widgets for Prototype
I’ve switched all my personal email to gmail, and have been using it for a couple of years now (i think).
But, I have work emails which I can not just forward (or would get confusing if I did). So, of course, I use Thunderbird – which is perfect… but it doesn’t have a calendar.
Well, now it does.
Check out this tutorial which gives an overview of 2 different plugins which allow 2-way communication between thunderbird and your google calendar.
So, due to a degraded HDD in my RAID5 array, I decided to build a new array.
I bought 4 320G Seagate drives… those drives have many benifits, not least of which, a 5 year warranty.
I already have a 3ware escalade RAID controller (7506-4LP), one of the best options for a hardware RAID controller.
Instead of building another RAID5, I chose to build 2, RAID1 arrays. I chose this because it’s much easier to buy 2 hard drives (upgrading one mirrored pair) than to buy 4 hard drives (to upgrade a 4 disk array).
