So, IE7 - cool right, new search bar and everything. And you can go here and add new search providers. You can also use what Microsoft gives you and do it this way. But alas, what if you want to add it without user intervention? Remotely over a network maybe? Or you just want to [...]

Working on a BHO for IE to mimic the functionality of Greasemonkey in Firefox. I created a GotDotNet workspace here if anyone is intrested. Right now it pretty much is just a BHO , and I have it working with one UserScript, possibilites are endless..

Well, I am looking at the registry. Right now in IE7 the feed finder will only find RSS. To add more types, goto
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Feed Discovery

Between that and being swamped at work, it just seems like there is no time lately. Need to get an oil change, and taxes done, new drivers license, insurance [...]

I have coded a WinForms marquee scroller program in VB.net/VS2003. Everything works great, but some users have noticed a bug.
When my program is running, IE stops displaying tool tips (TITLE and ALT tags). When my program is closed, they start working again.
I have debugged and went through all the code, and seemed to have found [...]

The buzz is that the IE development team is coming out of retirement. On Channel9 for MSDN developers, there is a thread started for ideas, etc, from a development and user point of view.
It is about time IE is back in idea mode, there are tons of things that could get added.
