Things to look out for when building a large application
on Thursday, February 9th, 2006
Joshua Schachter from del.icio.us has really nice notes for the ones that are looking for it.
These are the things to look out for when building a large application on web. Most of them I agree, some of them I don’t. This list also should keep in mind that, real world problems are not that perfect. I marked the ones that I strongly agree with an asterix (*).
I also filtered out the things are specific to del.icio.us from the original text.

IE7 did it again
on Wednesday, February 8th, 2006
It’s a big surprise for me to see Google Adsense is not working on IE7.
It’s because IE7 is blocking third party javascripts. It’s really a matter of Microsoft to decide to block Google.
Maybe Google Adsense will re-write the Adsense code to show it as a local javascript not to loose their 2 billion share in the pay per click scene.
And this will affect other ad programs like chitika, clicksor or else.
Say goodbye to your javascript ads if this feature on IE7 becomes official.
However it’s only in Micro$oft’s hand to do an exception for certain javascripts to run cross domain, but I don’t guess they will do that favour to Google any soon.

Think about it, even release versions are buggy in M$ world, I can’t stand the bugs on betas too.
