Dregs

14 March 2006

There’s a curious lack of “things” going on at the moment. Even though we’ve just had Etech, and we’ve got Sxsw happening as we speak I haven’t really seen anything worth talking about from the last couple of days.

Going through the dregs, one thing of semi-interest is the new version of Microsoft’s live.com (Firefox or IE only). There’s some interesting tech in there – the image search is certainly very promising – but I really don’t like their “infinite scrollbar”; it really clashes with my traditional way of quickly scrolling through results. I’d much rather just have, say 100-200 results per page instead, and have a normal scroll bar. All in all, there’s some interesting tech in there, but it still needs working on.
