The new kindle is here, well almost!

While I prefer a book with pages and dropping an ebook reader in the bath would spoil anyone's relaxing soak the new Kindle looks pretty good and the price is way better than an iPad (yes I know you can do so much more on an iPad like, well browse dull sites and read email).

So should anyone wish to buy me one (they are pre-order for the end of August) here's a link!



Wonder if I could get my son to do without a birthday this year...

Case sensitive URLs? It can't be...

but it is!

I am crawling my way to completing a basic web site for the ossAccounts and MongoDBViewer projects when I found a broken link.

The link in question goes to the MongoDBViewers download page on SourceForge which I had typed in as

http://sourceforge.net/projects/MongoDBViewer/files/

The capitalisation on the project name being habit to make it easier to type.  However this causes a site not found error. It turns out that it is the case which seems to have made Expression Web have a fit.

Replacing the three capitals to lower case (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mongodbviewer/files/) makes it work again!

Since I am sure urls are not case sensetive and I have used the capitalized version elsewhere on the site (I tried copying one that worked for the forum and had the same result) and that the links shown here work fine I am guessing this is some odd error in Expression Web 4.

Bring back FrontPage all is forgiven.
