Playing nicely with Search Engines

The subject may be as old as the web itself but still today, one tool to market your website is to have it have a high ranking with search engines. The Ultimate SEO Checklist seems to be a comprehensive article on this subject. It does not compile all the new ideas into a single article but also presents some new techniques.

I like the style of this article since it presents facts rather than "shoulds" and "mays".

Adobe - Reader Download

What the hell is this? I am trying to upgrade my quite old instance of acrobat reader 5 since some new documents seem to require it. But this seems to be not quite such an easy task.

On the download-page for the adobe reader I am getting a EXE-file which tries to execute an AOM file, which of course I have no runtime for. If I retry downloading, the AOM file hops directly into my face. Since I am not willing to get me yet another installer for an installer, I guess I'll stay on acrobat 5 for awhile.

Way to go guys! This certainly spreads adobe reader faster ;-)

Download SYSCON's Magazines

Browsing some old Links of mine and modifying some URLs. I got access to the public PDF download area of SysCon, who have brought to you e.g. the MXDJ (Macromedia Developer Journal, which all of it's issues may be downloaded here). I liked reading the magazine in the past and might continue now...

2Advanced Studios

2Advanced Studios have released their new site called "v5 Attractor". Again its a very impressive experience graphical-wise and certainly worth a look if you like surfing the web just for enjoyment and to see what Flash can do.

Patterns For PHP - WebSites

Since PHP-Patterns does not seem to get any new content for quite awhile (probably because Harry Fuechs has moved his activities over to Sitepoint), the new Patterns For PHP website seems to take the same approach of an open wiki on the subjects of design patterns for PHP.

Hopefully this time there will be a longer lasting effort on the subject since I personally like pattern-pages very much. For all those of you that are craving patterns on an abstract non-implementational level Martin Fowler's website might be worth a look.

Navicat - Desktop MySQL GUI

Navicat - the World's Best MySQL GUI for Windows, Linux & Mac OS X is a rather claimy title for a product like this. I don't know if it quite meets it's promises, but damn sure looks like it. You can do anything from stored procedures to views and table contraints if you MySQL Server installation allows it. Unfortunately this is not freeware or an open source product. But at least they give you a 30-day trial.

As I said, I did not test this thing throughoutly but it looks very promising to me at the moment. The only thing I am missing is the possibility to plan a database using ER diagramms to design databases.
