Here is a short table of the major phases of the moon during the current year (courtesy USNO, Astronomical Applications Dept).

Color Test

Using red text on a dark surface is said to facilitate viewing, to make it less tiring. Have a go and see for yourself...

Color Names

The following table shows the 16 colours (in alphabetical order) which can be referenced by their names (instead their of RBG hexadecimal number equivalents) in HTML/CSS definitions:

Content Management Demonstration

This is text which is meant to be updated by Content Management Software.
$$$$$
This section has been added via Web Update Client (WUC).
Access is somehow restricted to keep things simple. (No fancy text formatting.) Anyway, within those limits it seems to work fine...

One more text section to demonstrate restricted updating.
This line was added after the page layout was changed.
And another line... Playing around...



Remote Access

TeamViewer Remote Control
Free Remote Control
  This is the free (time-limited: 20 mins/session, 10 hrs/month) support tool. The advanced versions carry a one-time price (no monthly or yearly payment plan). Registration for the Free License requires putting up this link (or recommend the tool to seven other people). First tests revealed that a session is interupted every five minutes while in demo/trial mode. One will not accomplish much within such a time window... A while after registration, my license key for the free version arrived via EMail.
Have tested features "Remote Access" (working at a customer's screen), "Presentation" (inviting a customer to your screen), "File Transfer". All have seemed to work well. One more restriction applies: Once the 20 mins session ends, you'll have to wait another 10 mins before being allowed to re-connect.
Successfully worked with clients running Win2k SP4 | WinXP SP2.
