Elance.com had a bug in sending daily reports
Today, elance.com platform had a serious bug which caused daily reports to being sent to persons outside the project. I received circa 60+ emails with the conversations between different members of the respective projects.
Check the following image to see what I mean:

Google Chrome for Mac now supports flash - well, starts to :)
If you download the latest builds of Chrome for Mac you will notice it started to support flash. Still has glitches and bugs, but you can watch Youtube, Vimeo and other videos. This makes it a lot more usable now, at least to me :)
Chrome's Firebug
Just stumbled upon Chrome's dev tools, something like Firebug for Firefox. Great help if you're a web developer.
Google Chrome Daily Build on Mac OS X Leopard
Wanna try Google Chrome? Get the lates daily build from here.
Unzip and copy to the Application folder. Runs ok and started to look good on the Mac. Waiting for the final release...
I've just installed build 20862. By the time you read this a more recent build will be available.

amazon vs. amazee

For some time now Amazee is battling Amazon for the right to use their name. Amazee made it public today. You can read more here. Amazon lawyers claim that Amazee is confusing to the users, making them think Amazee is the same as Amazon or pretty close. What a load of crap...
There is no way you can confuse the two... unless you stupid or something.
These brand battles all seam to be like patent battles. People suing people for anything. Might as well stop naming stuff with "Amaz" at the start of the word, just in case people read fast or stop reading the whole word. Just to keep it safe...
Funny how people tend to over complicate things... If you registered Adidas than freaky register Adibas, Abibas, Abidas, Habidas and so one. A lot of stuff wouldn't happen then (I know that this is likely to be costly in the current systems).
Anyway, Amazee we're with you!
Page not found blocks/sidebars
In Drupal, when you get a 404 page all your blocks are hidden which rather sucks as it blows your theme. This function added to your theme's template.php file saves the day.
/**
* Override or insert variables into the page templates.
*
* @param $vars
* An array of variables to pass to the theme template.
* @param $hook
* The name of the template being rendered ("page" in this case.)
*/
function phptemplate_preprocess_page(&$vars, $hook) {
$vars['path'] = base_path() . path_to_theme() .'/';
Amazeeng widget from Amazee
Here is the Amazeeng widget that searches the Amazee projects and displays them on your website. It does this by looking at your page title and searching for keywords that match it.
Amazee is an online social collaboration platform, designed to link people, ideas, idealists, sponsors and interests in a dynamic, free and innovative way.
Take a look! Nice work, guys ;)
