Strong words from a Web site owner
Sep 29th
While browsing Jquery resource sites, I came across http://www.subzane.com.
No, I’m not going to hotlink the Web site for the following reason:
While I fully support a domain owner’s decision to limit access due to features, etc. I don’t support the choice of language that Norman chose.
Sure, he may have been trying to be cheeky, but it failed.
The company I work for (thankfully) has relaxed requirements when it comes to browsers used on a desktop – while there are company standards, we have been able to work with Firefox, Safari, and others. Still, the company only supports Internet Explorer for bug and error support.
That standard may not be correct, but it’s simplified the support requests to only a few versions (6 and 7 and their children).
On another note, I wasn’t too thrilled about the layout of the site when I finally loaded up Firefox. Not that my layout is anything to write home about (I’m using a theme for WordPress for Christ’s sake!), but I’d personally rather have deep content presented at the homepage than having to decipher what a post/article/tutorial/whatever may contain merely from the title.
(end rant)
Testing out Windows 7(rc) and Windows Live Writer
May 4th
I’m gonna keep this post short, as I’m still at work and trying to hammer out some paperwork.
While here, I finished the installation of Windows 7(rc) and have started to install the applications I use on a regular basis (Visio, Office, etc).
Hopefully this new version will fix some minor user issues from the past beta (although, Live Messenger did come with an authentication issue that had to be solved by adjusting the ‘hosts’ file).
I will say this, the preview tool built into live writer looks promising.
