Google Calendar Sync syncs it to my Google Calendar — and since I also have Google Calendar Sync running on my desktop, the event then syncs from Google Calendar to Outlook calendar on my desktop. All of my calendar views are always up to date, and I can choose whichever one I want to use.
We are facing a new paradigm for browser testing.
The rough figures now are around 75% for standards based (50% IE7 + 25 % FF/Safari) and 25% IE6.
At what point do we stop testing IE6 in standard development. Its a hard question. Below 15% is pprobably our threashold.
Market share for browsers, operating systems and search engines
It’s possible that if you’re a developer and you get this, or if Adobe were to distribute this active scripting glue that Mark wrote, that IE would be able to support JavaScript through the Flash Player. It wouldn’t need to have native support for JavaScript 2, it would get it just for free because Flash is widely distributed. Now I don’t know if Adobe will do that. It’d be good if they did, in case Microsoft does not ever get around to supporting JavaScript 2.

OpenLaszlo | the premier open-source platform for rich internet applications
OpenLaszlo is an open source platform for creating zero-install web applications with the user interface capabilities of desktop client software.
A new open source tool Gootrude (see the quick start, source code, and download links) that I wrote to do just this. The basic strategy is to take a collection of search terms defined by the user, automatically query Google for the number of results associated with each of these search terms (this is displayed by Google when doing a web search), and graph these numbers over time with Gnuplot. At this point let me state up front that Gootrude only makes use of data that Google freely provides to everyone with normal web searches, and is meant to be run once per day (so as to not be a pest in terms of the numbers of queries it makes). As an example, if you type in the word “security” into the Google web interface, it will return a string like “Results 1 - 10 of about 1,010,000,000″. The “1,010,000,000″ number is collected by Gootrude and stored in a file along with the current time.
