Spanish Public Organism Web Site (www.congreso.es)
After someone told me about a new release of a spanish web site,
www.congreso.es , I felt interested about what kind of accesibility priority has been accepted. It is just an important requirement for us when developing on
ONCE Web Site . It should have been at least double AA as official organisms web sites focus on it.
It really impressed to me that it showed WAI certification (A) when HTML code and CSS structure didn´t fit basic WAI guidelines.
If you check HTML code, it starts with HEAD tag. Although a content management generates it, someone should take care about quality assurement.
Alter a few days, they have noticed about that error and WAI certification icons were hidden.
CFEclipse plugin
Just an amazing and powerful tool to encourage Macromedia´s users to migrate from their corporative products such as Macromedia Dreamweaver Mx or HomeSite 5.5 or + to the most extended open-source IDE like
Eclipse . After testing, I´ll keep using it and leave Macromedia´s ones for a while. It supports snippets, intelligent help and a useful cfc (Coldfusion Component) wizard.

BandaAncha Web Site Debugging Information
I hope it´s not an error but while I was navigation on
bandaancha web site , I detected just debugging information at the top of the page related to MySql String Connection. It consists on publishing user and password to establish connectivity with database server. Today, it´s fool´s day in Spain so thats why I suppose to be a funny thing.
This is what I saw there,
$mysql_user = 'banda_ancha';
$mysql_pass = 'etNeConi'; $mysql_host = 'mysql.bandaancha.st'
mysql_pconnect($mysql_user

Just a amazing tool to get instant answers to anything you wish to ask. Add "encarta@conversagent.com" as a contact to your friend list in Hotmail Messaging Service and you´ll be able to ask her any questions. Extended functionality is achived only by Hotmail. Below is what I received after testing under Gaim client.

Nostrum
Noxtrum, the new beta search tool from
TPI, pretends to get popular and take web search services to spanish and portuguese communities and users. However, what it really impressed to me most was the free sms service, which lets you send messages to anyone totally free of charge. Just use it few times (5) and you´ll be entitled to test the messaging service
