Recorded this today, mother nature’s first big storm of the winter. Recorded in Stratford, Prince Edward Island, Canada.

This error seems to be floating around the internet in the last 48 - 72 hours. It effects Windows users using Internet Explorer and has started a long thread over on Facebook.
Apparently it’s being caused by a recent automatic update from Microsoft. There is no fix as of yet, some users report that deleting temporary internet files / cookies and upgrading flash fixes the problem.
A more drastic solution is to modify your registry (warning modifying your registry without knowing what your doing can break things!):
——
To correct this problem, increase the size of the desktop heap: 1. Run Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
2. From the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree, go to the following key: \System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\SubSystems
3. Select the Windows value.
4. From the Edit menu, choose String.
5. Increase the SharedSection parameter.
For Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003:
SharedSection uses the following format to specify the system and desktop heaps:
SharedSection=xxxx,yyyy,zzz
Increase the zzz number to “256″ or “512.”
——
I haven’t tested the above solutions as I left the windows world last year and haven’t looked back, good luck!

Up-to-date backups are one of those nagging little things that you know you should be doing, but you never seem to find the time to do. Most people don’t take it seriously until after their first major data loss and they realize it’s start over or pay thousands of dollars to a data recovery service (yes most recovery’s start at $1,000 and up).
Enter Dropbox - seamless, automatic backup’s across computers and platforms (Windows, Mac and Linux). Dropbox has just came out of private beta testing and is now open to the world. Accounts are free for up to 2gb of data and $100 per year for up to 50gb of data (paid accounts coming this week). And if you thought that was good they also have some other great features such as versioning, undelete, photo sharing, web access to files, private sharing of folders among other Dropbox users and public file sharing (even with non-Dropbox users).
The possibilities for this little piece of software are amazing, with Dropbox anyone could easily:
- Set up a private network with family members to share photos and documents
- Set up a common drive for remote and virtual employees
- Set up a home network to share music and photos between computers
This is by far the killer backup application for anyone looking for a feature rich, hands off, cross platform backup system that above everything else… just works.

Interesting post on how using these words is bad UI design to represent older and newer content. Instead replace Previous, Next / Back etc. with “Older” or “Newer” links.
A commenter also states that it’s not only the words used but that they are consistent throughout the site as well - simple but often missed concept.

This WordPress plugin allows you to create sections of text in your post or page which expand/collapse when clicked on. You simply wrap the special tags around your text, and set the ‘expand link’ (the link visitors click on to show the text). If your visitors do not have javascript enabled, the ‘expand link’ is not shown, and the text is displayed normally.
Demo:
Here is your text! Expanded and in a nice blue box, the box can be customized through CSS.
