I just switched my websites from one server to another and noticed that on my main company site (http://www.m2osw.com) I would get a # at the end of the URL. Automatically added somehow. Thinking that could be a bad guy I checked the code and could not really see anything.

Hitting "Back" once, I noticed that the # would be transformed to #atssh-digg. I don't have anything specific about digg on that page except the AddThis button. That adds Digg among some 150 different systems where you can share my pages.

Since I manage multiple computers and each run a PostgreSQL database system, I can see discrepancies between versions. (i.e. newer versions fix problems in older versions.)

Once in a while I check how the compilers are behaving in such and such situations to make sure that when I wrote code it gets properly optimized. Today I was surprised as I tried to put a break point of a variable and it looked like the compiler wasn't using it. Indeed, the optimizer 100% removed the variable from the final code. Quite interesting since trying to reverse engineer this assembly language would probably end up using a goto statement... (ouch!)

The code goes more or less like this:

I had a little project which requirements was an Adobe Flash animation that calls a JavaScript function to close a browser window.

With the newest version of Internet Explorer, it will first ask you whether you want to let the script close your window... that's a problem when you'd like that process to be smooth (i.e. without user interaction.)
