Direct Web Remoting

Direct Web Remoting (DWR)

(From the site...)

DWR allows Javascript in a browser to interact with Java on a server and helps you manipulate web pages with the results.

DWR works by dynamically generating Javascript based on Java classes. The code does some Ajax magic to make it feel like the execution is happening on the browser, but in reality the server is executing the code and DWR is marshalling the data back and forwards.

Synergy

Synergy lets you easily share a single mouse and keyboard between multiple computers with different operating systems, each with its own display, without special hardware. It's intended for users with multiple computers on their desk since each system uses its own monitor(s).

I've been using this at work now for a few months between my Linux and Windows box. This has been a great little utility. 1 mouse, 1 keyboard, 2 systems! Synergy is easy to setup as well!

IE7 User Agent String

From Microsoft

If you encounter a site which does not recognize Internet Explorer 7, a new tool known as the User Agent String Utility has been created to help you work around the problem. The utility comes in the form of a small executable that opens an Internet Explorer 7 instance that emulates Internet Explorer 6 by sending the Internet Explorer 6 user agent string. It also provides a mechanism for you to report problem web sites to Microsoft so that we can follow up with the affected site owners.

Download the tool here.

PHP Term

Run this behind SSL and you'd have a nice utility for web administration.

PHPterm is a terminal/shell emulator for PHP which let's you execute shell commands just like in a shell, but all within your browser window over the HTTP protocol.

Firefox and HTML Links....

From CNet..

Single Window mode

Do you hate it when links on Web pages open new windows (because they set a target attribute on the link)? You can force Firefox to open those links in a new tab instead of a new window. This is called Single Window mode. It doesn't prevent all new windows, but it catches most of them. The radio buttons for setting this preference are in the Preferences window, but only if Firefox knows you want to see them. Go to About:config and set browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs to true.

Once that is done...
- Go Tools - Options - Tabs
- Select Checkbox beside "Force links that open new windows to open in:"
- Choose "a new tab" radio button.
- Hit 'Ok' and your done!
