An interesting read on being a crappy programmer and not knowing it:
http://damienkatz.net/2006/05/signs_youre_a_c.html

I am currently messing around with various Themes and Skins and notice that there is no consitency with the naming conventions used for the various classes between skins/themes for a particular control.

I would be great if there was some consitency making it a lot easier to switch between skins/themes whilst trying things out.

Cheers,

Julian

With a great deal of pride, the telerik team is pleased to announce that the r.a.d.controls are now not only AJAX-ified but are also Atlas-ified and that makes us the first major vendor to officially offer support for Microsoft Atlas' latest CTP. You can read my blog post at:

If you want to get all the tech details, you can take a look at the dedicated Atlas-readiness page:

Hi

Am I the only one experiencing that access to the telerik website most of the time is really slow?

I have been hearing a lot of buzz about some Telerik merchandise coming soon. I found this post by Rumen:

Well, telerik points currently can be used towards your next purchase, however this can will change soon. We plan to provide some telerik merchandize which you will be able to purchase with the points (t-shirts, cups, iPods, Xbox's, etc). Hopefully, the interest will be high enough to get the telerik craze going ;)


Sincerely yours,

Rumen
the telerik team

I am all about iPods and Xbox's. Let's get this Telerik craze going... Does any body know what else may be offered? Also, what kinds of things do you think Telerik could offer for points?

Hi everyone,

I noticed the telerik people created a nice place for our peer-to-peer chit-chat ;-)

I was thinking - why not post some blogs/rss feeds I regularly read ? Here you go:

I'd like to make a suggestion. I like going through forums and seeing other peoples issues with certain controls and the fixes, that way when I come across a similar issue I'll already know the solution.

But the support tickets that people post aren't listed, perhaps adding an option to let our support tickets to be listed. I would more than welcome sharing mine.

This also may reduce the number of tickets you receive about the same issues.

Just an idea,
James

Hello,
when we make new post in forums or Client.net system do some tasks
1. the unread icon shown in left side of title for all users
2. a mail will send to all user subscribe this thread except the post author

I think Telerik most remove the unread icon from list for the author of page.

Excuse me english isn't my native language

Best Regards

I found this really cool open source piece of software that might be of use to you guys. 

"The main control is the BusyBox control, which can be used to show a customizable box inside web pages during time consuming activities, a very useful behaviour especially during long processing tasks, in order to inform the user that something is actually happening. Typical time consuming tasks are file uploads, complex queries against databases, heavy load operations in application code, or heavy pages which require some time to be rendered by the browser. "

I used to like that company... until now:

If Philips has their way you may not be skipping through TV commercials much longer. In fact, you might not even be able to change the channel on your TV during a commercial.

Philips has filed a patent application to stop people from changing channels during commercials or fast forward commercials for pre-recorded shows. According the patent application, Philips solution is to use MHP (Multimedia Home Platform) to read flags in broadcasts. If an advertisement is marked as such, your STB (Set-Top Box), DVR or even your TV could stop you from changing the channel or skipping past commercials. MHP software is already built into most digital TV receivers and recorders available today.

Philips knows that the patent would be "greatly resented by viewers" and could even cause end users to believe their equipment is broken. To remedy this, Philips suggests that the flag also trigger a notice on the screen to notify users of what is going on.

The patent application also suggests that end users be able to pay a fee to be allowed to skip commercials. The fee would probably be set by your cable or satellite provider.

As we move into the digital age, it seems more and more that we as consumers are at the mercy of these big companies. This is starting to look like the Telco business. First we have Caller ID, then Caller ID blocking, and now Anti-Caller ID blocking. What’s next, anti-commercial forwarding blocking?
