My favourite editor for doing Java and PHP is Eclipse with the PHPeclipse plugin for the PHP stuff.

One thing that happens quite quickly when developing and using the wide array of tools, is the desktop getting cluttered very fast.

What I’ve acome up as a “sort-of” solution is making the Outline and Navigator panels hide when not using them. They call it “Fast View“. You just right click on the tab of the panel and select/deselect the “Fast View” option. When selected, it behaves by disappearing as soon as you type or click on the code page, thus giving you a full view of the code and not all the other stuff.

Well a while back I wrote a post where I mentioned that I added an extra Adsense banner to see what improvement it has on the clicks on the banners.

Firstly, what I’ve done, a recap:

I originally just had 1 Adsense banner on the right(number 1 on illustration).
I had about 1-5 clicks in one month which did not make me alot of dough.

So, I added an extra banner almost in the “reading-line”(how people read the site), but still not interfering with the users reading or browsing(not too IN YOUR FACE).

The result is that I now get about 20-30 clicks per month on these Adsense banners, and the traffic was the same as it previously was.

So I reckon, the reason for this could be 1 of 2 explanations.
1. The fact that there is now 2 banners on the site; or
2. The fact that the new banner is in the user’s reading path, making it possible for the user to spot it in the hook of his eye-type-of thing.

Well, again, I have spend little time to think about a post, but have a nice link to some nice Javascript toolkits, this is quite neatly done.
