I have earlier showed how to use TinyMCE and ASP.NET Ajax UpdatePanels.

It was about a year ago when the swedish version of Shelta's webstore was born with some help from us as development partner.
Today we released the international version (Shelta.eu) where we have worked on some improvements. We have removed the frames for more easy navigation and bookmarking, made it possible to choose from four different currencies and installed a nwe paymentsystem. André at Shelta has also worked on the design and given it a nice lilac color.
Please visit and check out SNS fisherman shirts, Nike Sneakers, Adidas Originals, Svensson jeans and a lot of other nice stuff for your winter shopping.
We are happy to announce that it is now possible to buy Trig.com gear on Merchworld and that the sites are mashed nicely together.
Also visit Trig.com/Merchworld for more info.
The Swedish security expert, Dan Egerstad has found and published usernames and passwords to email accounts of 100 embassies across the world.
Computer Sweden has interviewed him and he lets us know how he found the information when he was doing a security lab recently.
Since then he has pondered over what to do with it. Contacting all the ambassies would have been a time consuming task and perhaps met with the wrong attitude. If he would have given it to SÄPO (National Security Service (of Sweden) it would have been considered a act of espionage. So he made the brave decision and published the information on his blog, Deranged Security.
Still there are no information about which systems the hacked email acounts was running on, but it would be interesting to find out. I guess it's only a matter of time before we we learn more about this.
Hopefully this will shed some light on the issues with insufficient security of email accounts, and push the development towards safer system forward.
The Silverlight applications are beginning to get a bit more advanced and to show tehe real possibillities. Microsoft is showing off Tafiti, a experimental search koncept built on Silverlight and Live Search.
The demo is showing off some fun features, for exempel the "tree" as you can see an screenshot of above. Perhaps not very useful, but a fine exampel on hos visualization can make search more fun.

TinyMCE is a nice HTML-Editor which has become very popular. It's easy to use and has a lot of configuration possibillities. But when it come to combining it to Ajax and partial updates - it can be a nightmare...

But now let the source speak for it self, don't miss out on the complete project download at the bottom.

Who is Hosting This is a great service to find out which host a web site is using.
When A web site been running for some time the CSS-files can grow very large and it is difficult to identify which classes that are really in use.
Infovore has been trying to tackle this problem with the new tool CSS Redundancy Checker that can be downloaded at Google Code. You have to download and run it locally, and it will identify CSS-classes that are not in use in the code. It only works with HTML- files and not dynamicly genereated web sites.
Would be great to have this running online. Is there anybody who knows of any other service like that?
