WinMacro is a simple Macro recorder/player for Windows written in Microsoft Visual C 6.0. It can record whatever you do at your Windows Desktop, and can replay them exactly. It doesn't record video, instead it uses windows hooking mechanisms to monitor your mouse and keyboard events, and plays them back. Therefore the recorded file is much smaller than what would be if you recorded live video, typically in the range of kilobytes.

This document was written by me (Rick Bradley) as part of our IS Applications group’s process of (re)evaluating platforms for deployment of a large-scale healthcare application (“the CenterNet rewrite”—discussed on the Rails mailing list). This evaluation document was prepared in September of 2005 and is therefore already out of date technologically—a number of the perceived shortcomings of Ruby On Rails have been eliminated, alleviated, or mitigated. For instance, we found to our surprise that it was trivially simple to deploy Rails on Windows and to automate build and testing.

Fine concept for code but practicing it with your database is more akin to Immature Optimization. While it's common place to put indexes on your conditions columns and primary/foreign keys, sometimes (especially in Rails Schema) you just forget. If your writing a small application, you may never see the effects of your error, but as your application grows, it will quickly show itself by slowing down the load time of your pages.

css-discuss is a mailing list devoted to talking about CSS and ways to use it in the real world; in other words, practical uses and applications. While theory and ideas for the future are interesting, they do interfere with our mission to help people get the most out of CSS today, so we tend not to spend a lot of time on theory. There are other lists and groups for that sort of thing anyway.
