Inspiron 1501 was (no longer available) one of the best options if looking for a good price/performance laptop. I bought one a year ago. It was cheap and offered me all the basic features that I was looking for.
Firstly I only used it as a normal laptop, just to work away. But five months ago I started to work with it as my daily use computer. I attach it to a wireless keyboard+mouse combo and a widescreen monitor when at home. It works great but the daily tasks have revealed an insuficient RAM memory configuration. So I’ve recently made an easy upgrade.

I’ve selected major sources of daily information for web designers and developers and I’ve added them to an organized/easy-to-read Netvibes Universe. There you’ll find categories for general tech news, web design, usability, SEO, etc. with prestigious references such as Techcrunch, Mashable, Sitepoint, Smashing Magazine, ReadWriteWeb and many others.
Netvibes Universe - Formación Web (mobile version)
On the right column of every category I’ve added contextual Delicious blocks linked to my bookmarks on professional web design (already shared on 600+ References on professional web design).
You’ll also find this link on the Teaching area, as I always share these bookmarks with the students.

If you’re using Wordpress 2.5, the latest version released just a week ago, you’ll find a very useful toolbar when writing a new post. The Add media lets you insert/upload images, videos and sounds to your post easily.
But you might encounter some problems when trying to upload an image for the first time. The Choose File tabs will show you error messages:
- HTTP error.
- An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later.
Don’t try again later! :) Just add the following lines to the .htaccess file located in the root directory of your web server.
<IfModule mod_security.c>
<Files async-upload.php>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</Files>
</IfModule>
Add these lines below the existing code.
