Every couple of months Windows XP decides that it does not want to remember passwords anymore in IE (which is the same mechanism some 3rd party apps like gmail notifier use to remember passwords). So I’m writing this more as a reminder to myself as well as a help to anyone who may stumble on this in a search. In order to get that feature working again you have to edit the registry, and in specific you need to get to the subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
And set the DWORD for:
DisablePasswordCaching
to:
0
You set it to 1 if you need password caching disabled for some reason.
Enjoy!

Maybe I should have just twittered about this… ![]()
Well last night Google announced “Google App Engine”, it’s essentially Google’s answer to Amazon’s web services. Pricing hasn’t been announced at this time, or at least that I could find. If you are interested in testing it out you can sign up for the waiting list here.
Right now the only API language supported is Python, but the platform is supposed to be language agnostic and should be supporting other languages in the near future. TechCrunch has put together a quick app and has details on working with the API up on their site right now and you can find that here:

The SDK and docs are all available here:
http://code.google.com/appengine/
I am on the waiting list. Should be interesting to see how these two services stack up against each other.
I am also wondering since several startups are using Amazon Web services for their applications, and theoretically others will also soon be using Google AppEngine, I wonder how long before they just start running optical fiber between their respective datacenters and house a large portion of the “internet” between them. I also wonder if an AppEngine or AWS version of Wordpress, or the like, is in the cards in the not-so-distant future.

I’m in the Caribbean again for work and apparently there are only so many days that you listen to resort cover bands, and 14 is way past my limit. So I was very happy to find this post on Wil Wheaton’s site for a very cool LA HD radio station which is also online:
Enjoy!
I’ve actually decided that there are big holes in my iPod selections that need to be filled after listening.
