Internet Explorer 7 Developer Toolbar

IE7 Dev Toolbar
I am in the middle of a large and difficult programming project that is pushing the limits of what I was capable of, so as you can imagine I feel like a stretched out rubber band that is having a hard time shrinking back to the way it was. As if the task wasn't demanding enough, I went looking for tools to help with web development. I am completely set on Firefox, I have all the tools I could need, but for IE 7 (the browser I really wish I didn't have to develop for) my arsenal was admittedly a bit lacking, mostly because the browser is so new and I just hadn't looked at it yet. Upon a quick search I stumbled head-long across this nifty little tool, the Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar. It features a DOM "explorer", the ability to toggle certain IE features, view classes, discover table and other elements for developers and our many headaches. IE7 Dev Toolbar (sounds better shortened, doesn't it) is available on Windows Marketplace as a FREE download. IE Dev Toolbar adds a nice set of features like a customizable ruler, an image dimensions display, a window resizer to allow you test out your pages on different resolutions, and a bunch of other options. This is one of the most inclusive tools I have used. It is definitely worth the glance.

Forumwarz - a potentially offensive time waster

I pwn UAfter spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.

It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.

Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.

Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.

Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.

Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.

This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.

If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.
