Slidesh0w. One of the nicest sites I have seen in a long time. Visit with a ClearType or XFT enabled computer for a visual treat. Oh, and a decent CSS enabled browser, of course.

On Microsoft and Eolas.

Zeldman posts a thoughtout missive on why MS may be trying to lose the patent case case brought against it. Having read the patent myself, I do think that Eolas have a fairly good claim. Have a read yourself, should you be so inclined and make your own decision.

Setting aside the validity of the claim, usually MS lawyers can work a way around patent claims such as this one. This has caused the theory that MS are actually trying to lose the patent case. Personally, I don’t believe it, but it’s an interesting theory non-the-less.

Some translations may be in order for the last post. After reading it, I decided there were rather too many IEs and MSs etc without explanation. So I expanded my regex replacement formatting tool to add helpful tooltips to common abbriviations in future posts. Though this will not help the previous post, future ones will use these regexs (or should it be regexii?).

Other examples are CSS, HTML and FIR. I shall add more as the need arises. A little easier for you to understand my random musings, dear reader.

You know you need to do a bit of bookmark spring cleaning when the menu for your ‘Blogs’ folder no longer fits on your 1600×1200 res flat screen. (Yes, I love my work monitor!)

Wish me luck wading through the bookmark morass…

One thing that would be very useful is if there existed an extension for Mozilla Firebird that enabled the Mozilla spellchecker for textareas in forms. Many times I have typed an entry for posting here, reread it a couple of times over to check for errors, then posted it and noticed a glaring spelling error in the first line is too many to count. I’d have a go myself, were it not that I really seem to have so little time atm to get familiar with the Mozilla architecture and hack it in.
