Comps for the header/nav design tweaks are in, and the results are mixed. Some people just moved a few things around, while others proposed a new style altogether. We won’t make any major changes to style in 2.8, but if the vote leans toward a submission that proposes it, we’ll do some user testing and make a decision for early 2.9 (which, now that we think of it, is probably the right thing to do anyway. )
Below are the links to the screenshots that were submitted. Please review each one (I’d open them all in tabs so I could look back and forth while they are all large size, because the voting poll just uses thumbnails), then choose the one you think looks the best/is the most usable.
This poll was supposed to close at 8pm NY time on Tuesday (today), but we’re going to leave it open for an extra day. The voting poll will now be closed at 8pm NY time on Wednesday (that’s 2am Thursday, UTC). If you want to discuss the entries’ pros/cons, this thread would be a good place.
A new free defrag tool for Windows, Defraggler, has been added to the Free Defragmentation Utilities / Free Defrag Software
page. You can use this to defragment your entire hard disk or to selective defragment individual files or folders. (For those who aren't sure of the purpose of such software, they consolidate all the bits and pieces
of the files on your computer into contiguous chunks so that your system can, hopefully, run faster.)
This class can be use to Generate JSON output from MySQL query results.
It takes an handle of a previously executed MySQL database query and retrieves the results to generate a JSON string with the values of all the result rows.
