Dan discusses how StarOffice is perceived in general. I assume "the word on the street" comes from the early years of StarOffice, when it wanted to take over your desktop, but required ten minutes to open a letter.
Nowadays, I use OpenOffice for all my personal use (that is, all "official" letters I have to write, and even some spreadsheets. And I can print envelopes with it!). I'm not pushing it to its limits, but it works for me. Never done a "document merge" or something of the kind, though.
So if you're in the market for a free office suite, give OpenOffice a fair chance at least.
This article about System.getProperty (via Erik)blew me away. I was utterly convinced that System.getProperty() gave me everything I've set in my environment, that I had to try it out. And I was quite baffled to see that the author was right.
However, his proposed solution threw a "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Malformed \uxxxx encoding." on my Windows XP machine.
del.icio.us has implemented its main missing feature: search. Now if we could get categories in a dropdown box, we'd be happy.
If you haven't noticed yet: my del.icio.us feed is in my blogroll. It's one of the reasons posts to this blog are intermittent.
