Test

I’m testing the timestamp error that the TextMate bundle is giving me.

IE8 Passes ACID2

Oh. Em. Gee.

I’m so happy I could cry. Okay, maybe not. I’m not that nerdy.

But I feel as though some sanity has been restored to the world. hopeful sigh.

Firefox 3 Beta 2: The Giant Robot Edition

Robots are awesome. Giant Robots are awesomer.

It's Firefox... RUN towards it!

Seriously, though. Are we supposed to be afraid of the huge building destroying robot? What does the city signify, IE users? And what’s the deal with the UFO’s in the background?

Am I reading too much into it? Highly likely. But it’s much more snappier. MUCH more snappier. John Resig thinks so.

And snazzier too… one example is when Firefox asks you if it should remember your password. No longer is it a separate dialog box which would disrupt the flow between pages, but instead it’s a much more muted slidedown-style dialog row of text. I don’t know what you call it, but it’s awesome. I’m pretty sure this was done before in IE (Insistent IE ActiveX warnings and others), but it’s a welcomed changed here.

And something with the text… is it anti-aliased? It just feels more softer than usual. I guess I should consult the changelogs.

Facebook Updates, Again…

The ‘Friends’ pages got a lovely update. Everything is so much more AJAXy… delicious.

Now you can make a “List” for your friends, so you can keep groups of people handy for sending out spam… er… invitations.

Just recently they got of “is” in the status messages.

Good to see finally that they’re adding features that users have been wanting for quite a while… maybe Facebook is trying to make up for the Beacon fiasco.

EDIT: Friend removal has become much easier with the little “x” in the Friends page. Interesting.

Days are going by quick…

Must have something to do with this HanMeta mess.

Hopefully, by this weekend, I’ll have some more to show… but for now, this’ll have to do.

Time to go read like a madman.
