More tab fun over at SimpleBits. This time, make your tabs more exciting by using some shapes. I think these look pretty damn nice.

It’s fairly cool to be party to the evolution of CSS tabs… I have been messing with them in my latest site projects. They are obviously used here at dx13, but I have also used different types of tab in the admin and in another site I am working on. They are an intuitive method of navigation and are also proving to be pretty flexable in looks. Though they would be possible without CSS, they would require quite a bit more work each time you add a new link to the list. With CSS tabs, you just drop in your new link and there it is on the page, perfectly blended in with the rest of your menu.

Try search for explorer shell substitutes on Google, and this post at dx13 comes up. I wouldn’t say this was the most relavent site to be first on Google’s list. Slightly more odd is that Litestep, Geoshell and others don’t even appear on the first page. Maybe that post provoked more discussion that I realised which pushed it up to the top of the results. However, I think that more links should have appeared for litestep and so on. Shows that even Google can screw up =)

63 virus mails landed in my inbox today. That’s quite a few. Now, is there a filter setting in Thunderbird to say “delete all mails with a.pif file attachment”…?

I started a new project last night provisionally called dCron. Many of you will probably know this is the sceduler used on Linux. I basically became pretty annoyed with the Windows Task Scheduler and decided to write a basic scheduler of my own. dCron shall probably have nowhere near the flexibility of Cron.

I might well change the name before the release to avoid confusion. In fact that is more likely than not, as I am sure that the cron team wouldn’t want my lacking version having any possiblity of confusion with their app. Just have to decide on another name that sounds as cool.

Whilst I think that the p800 is nice, the pictures over at this site seem to show that the p810/p900/whatever will be even nicer. I am thinking of changing my phone at the moment, maybe I shall wait until this one comes out before I go out to the shops! If nothing else, it will hopefully bring down the price of the p800, which would be nice =)
