Too much straw, not enough camel.

What’s New?
• June 15, 2004 • Apple, Browsers, Website • 3 comments
As the rest of the world is reporting, Mozilla Firefox 0.9 is now available, as well as a release candidate of Mozilla Thunderbird 0.7. Awesome. For those who were using bleeding edge builds of Firefox, you’ll need to manually move your profile data to the new folder. The Profile folder changed twice since Firefox 0.8, [...]
Hotmail blocking Firefox?
• May 17, 2004 • Browsers • 24 comments
At first I thought that Hotmail was down when it hung as I logged in with Firefox. After a bit, I tried to login again. Still no luck. I tried logging in with IE. No problems. I tried again with Mozilla. No problems. I tried with Opera. No problems. I tried with Firefox. Problems. Is [...]
Firefox: Fixing the startup page
• May 16, 2004 • Browsers • No comments
This is a problem that I ran into, and Google didn’t offer any answers, so I’m going to add the fix for this to Google. I’m not sure if this means anything, but I’ve got the Tab Browser Extensions installed. Last week, I went to click out of Firefox with multiple tabs open, and was [...]
Using Safari? Lucky You.
• April 30, 2004 • Browsers, Code, Website • 3 comments
I’ve spent the day scouring the web for information on whether or not any build of Mozilla has support for the CSS2 text-shadow property. It doesn’t, which sucks. Why does it suck? Because I’m not able to see what Safari 1.1+ users are able to see: drop shadows on text without graphics. Now, I know [...]
Kill “No Right Click” Scripts
• March 30, 2004 • Browsers, Software • 3 comments
I was being a nerd today, and was digging through the list of bugs for Mozilla 1.7b (and the latest Firefox). I came across this bug that I thought was very interesting. It allows you to kill scripts that attempt to block users from right-clicking on the page. Quoted from the bug report: Here’s the [...]
Bye, Bye, BuyMusic.com
• March 29, 2004 • Browsers, Creating Websites • No comments
Do you guys happen to remember BuyMusic.com and all of the fuss from the web standards community this past summer? Well, according to the guys over at As the Apple Turns, it appears that the BuyMusic.com experiment was a complete and utter failure. Are we suprised? We think not. I suppose it was a bad [...]
Multiple Internet Explorers Revisited
• March 2, 2004 • Browsers • 3 comments
Over 400,000 downloads and counting from my webserver alone. This doesn’t count any of the mirrors that are posted. Suprisingly, Microsoft hasn’t said a word to me. I suppose this is a good thing. I was recently made aware that all of this was featured on C|Net’s TechTV, as well as on C|Net’s Builder.com site. [...]
The Browser Wars
• February 3, 2004 • Browsers • 3 comments
I was discussing the history of the Browser Wars with a friend last night. Afterwords, I went home, and as I put my daughter to bed, I made up a “Once upon a time” story for her so that she would go to sleep. I know it must’ve been a strange comination of the two [...]
