New features are great, but most importantly, the front end feels much more responsive and Admin Panel is even faster!

As promised, I’ll make a new theme but that may take a bit. Permalinks also seems to be broken. I also need to change my permalink structure to www.RayShan.com’s root. Please bare with me for a few days while I roll out the improvements. .

However Many Eyes, the new pilot site by the Big Blue is amazing. Anything that promotes statistics or data usage gets my vote.

Findings are based on the number of service calls Rescuecom received for each make of computer. Results were based on 20,000 calls. The higher the number, the better the ranking.

  • IBM/Lenovo (243)
  • Apple (201)
  • HP/Compaq (12)
  • Dell (4)
  • Gateway (-12)
  • Others (-16)

Another reason of why I love ThinkPads!

This is from Deepest Sender extension for Firefox, AWESOME productivity tool!

Edit: OK, Deepest Sender is nice and all, but I just got Performancing and it’s quite a bit better. Better interface, seemless syncing with WordPress, and best of all, upload via FTP function for inserting images!

You can really put together some professional diagrams to impress your boss with it. To demonstrate the power of Mind Maps, here’s one for Office 2007 that covers the following topics:

  • Online Community
  • Office Live
  • Packaging, Pricing, and Availability
  • Office Sharepoint Server
  • Office Client Applications
  • Developer resources

Download
And no, it’s not just an outline, it contains a lot of information linking to various resources. You can download a free Mind Map viewer.
