Welcome IE7 & Firefox 2

  • 27 Oct, 2006

This week not one, but two big browsers made major upgrades. I’ve gotten a change to play with both and I think everyone is on the right track, some just a wee bit behind. IE7 has been a long time coming. I think they said IE6 was released 5 years ago or so? Anyways, the […]

State of iPox Update & Download

  • 24 Oct, 2006

!! Updated Release Info Following up on my previous State of iPod for Firefox 2 post I thought I’d give everyone an update. Things are not going very well for iPox. The tab bar is just not playing nice. We either have tabs and errors, or no tabs. So that’s no fun. iPox will not […]

Hopefully I can get the white on […]

Now 14.7% More IE Friendly

  • 5 Oct, 2006

Blog on a stick is now 14.7% friendlier to our IE visitors. I removed a script that allowed IE to actually render transparent PNG’s with transparent backgrounds. It seemed to be slowing down the blog for those users and I didn’t like that. So it’s gone. Instead, you get to see an ugly background on […]

Google Reader Advances

  • 29 Sep, 2006

I’m actually quite digging the simple interface, nice layout and the stared or shared items.The only thing missing is browser integration. […]
