Firebug + measureIt = A great team!

Have you ever tried to match the exact alignment your designers created for you on a web page but you're having a hard time telling if they line up? Well I was, and until just now (literally a few seconds ago I discovered this) it was a giant pain. But if you use two amazing Firefox extensions together, you can make your life a lot easier (I know it helped me).

Shared Folders in Virtualbox

I had a hard time figuring out where/how to get to my shared folders inside Ubuntu from my Windows host. Luckily Google was able to find me this.

Firefox 3.5 Preview

For those who don't keep tabs on the latest and greatest in web browsers you may not have heard about the newest iteration of Firefox. The 3.5 beta has been out for developers for some time and now there's a video showcasing all the new features in the browser. You can check it out below. Also, there's http://hacks.mozilla.org/ which goes into more detail on all the new features. As a web based company, we're super excited about all the new possibilities these new browsers bring to us and our clients.

Slow week for posts

We've been a little busier than usual this week and our posts have suffered. No worries though, we've got a whole set of new content coming.

Thanks for being patient.

Apache Directory Studio: Amazing LDAP Management Tool

For anyone looking for a great tool to manage your LDAP directory, check out the Apache Directory Studio. It's based on Eclipse and therefore runs on all platforms. It makes dealing with your LDAP data easy (or as easy as humanly possible)
 
I highly recommend it.
