Catching Up

AdamPolselli.com has finally made its way to a new, more stable server, so I will be able make updates on a daily basis now. For example, the Get the Look section of the site has finally been completed, and I will work on the Portfolio and Photography sections over the next week. For now, here are some more noteworthies:

If you’ve ever wondered just how many blogs there are out there, or just how many blog entries are created every hour, wonder no more. The World as a Blog is a very cool little device that shows blogs being posted in nearly real-time, with only a 3-mintue delay when it’s at its worst. At times it can seem a bit sketchy, so I’m not exactly convinced that it’s a credible blog-tracking machine, but if it is, it’s pretty damn cool!

The person behind zlog recently posted a link to an article that explains how to choose a good password. It’s a great, detailed article that will make you think twice before choosing your next password. It might even make you wonder if you should change some of your current ones. Overall, a good read!

The CSS Zen Garden has three new designs: Friendly Beaches, Calm & Smooth, and viridity. Some of the graphics are not the most pleasing, but the designs still implement some great CSS. Friendly Beaches takes the supporting text and creates a one- and two-column layout, which is quite different than what others have done. Calm & Smooth turns each supporting text section into a two-column block of text, making the layout quite interesting!

It’s official: IE5/Mac is dead. Read all about it in Mr. Zeldman’s report.

:o @ link to that password article… I just helped write that piece a few months ago for our internal IT department, it’s nearly word for word!!!

In fact, I was going to post it to ensight this week! Agh, time to do some checking!

Wow, are you serious? Well, in that case, let me cross out the link. Also, great job with the article. Like I said, it’s a good read. Hopefully you can figure things out.

Oops… I am very sorry, I had no idea that it was taken off any one.

I think a quick del is in need off..

Okay, FYI, I’ve checked into it, and a large portion of it is actually from the MSDN on Network Password Policies. Rather buried. We’d writtne a chunk of other stuff before and after, quoted this in our security policy, etc: hence why it looked so darn familiar (been reading it for weeks).

Anyways, the guy certainly (unless he wrote it for the MSDN, which does happen) copied a good article ;)
