Firefox Optimized for G4/G5
• November 8, 2004 • Apple, Browsers, Software • No comments
On my work and home PC’s I use Firefox… period. There is no better browser. The only thing that really irks me, however, is how slowly it starts up on my 400 MHz Pentium II running Windows 2000 at work. Since the FFX team won’t implement Mozilla Suite’s “Turbo Mode”, then to get around it, [...]
Standalone Internet Explorer and Hosting
• November 5, 2004 • Browsers, Website • 6 comments
For those interested, I’ve added a few more mirrors for the Standalone IE downloads. I’m really beginning to feel the download stress here at Skyzyx.com, as I hit ~25GB transfer last month and my max is 30GB per month. So, I signed up for a Dreamhost account (I caught the 1 year for $7.77 deal!) [...]
One Million and Counting…
• September 18, 2004 • Browsers • No comments
The latest post at SpeadFirefox.com says that the Firefox Preview Release hit 1,000,000 downloads in roughly 100 hours. This is fantastic news! I’ve been actively trying to get people I know and work with to switch over to Firefox for several months now. This is big news for the Mozilla team. Not only that, but [...]
What’s New?

Well, for those who seem to be intrigued by what goes on in my life, here’s a little update on what’s been going on. Dead Hard Drive: My 160 GB drive bit the dust last weekend. I’m still at a loss for why. The upshot is that it only took about 15 minutes to get [...]
Letting Go of Legacy Code
• July 24, 2004 • Browsers, Creating Websites, Software • 2 comments
Taking my own advice, I’ve updated my “crappy browser” messages to include Internet Explorer 5.5. IE 5.5 is now 5 years old (1999), and it’s time to encourage more and more people to move up. Since IE6 supports the correct CSS box model (in “almost standards” mode), I’m not going to bother with the CSS [...]
Lots of Little Things
• July 7, 2004 • Browsers, Code, Website • 1 comments
I’ve got two posts on my laptop that I simply haven’t had the time to post. I’ll try to get to it this evening. Meanwhile, I recently found out that my cookie script has been recommended on IBM’s forums, my Java detection script has been talked about on Sun’s Java forums, my Message Center 5.5 [...]
Growwwwwl…

This year’s WWDC “Stevenote” is over. Among the more notable points: Tiger is a fully 64-bit OS… which is gonna allow the PowerMac G5′s to move so fast that they catch fire. “Expose for Widgets”, which is super similar to Konfabulator “Spotlight” which sounds an awful lot like the planned database-style search integration in Longhorn. [...]
Haiku, Gmail, and Web Standards
• June 23, 2004 • Browsers, Creating Websites, Technology • 3 comments
Haiku Does anyone here know what “Haiku” is (…and no, I’m not talking about a 17 syllable Japanese poem)? Haiku is the brand-new name for an open source project that was formerly called “OpenBeOS”. How many here know what OpenBeOS is? OpenBeOS is a project whose goal is to re-create, from scratch, an open source [...]
