The Unheard Word

Well, I feel thoroughly put in my place. 🙂

I do tend to jump the gun, somewhat! I suppose I’m guilty of making assumptions based on Microsoft’s past record, which may not be fair, but I did conveniently forget that the IE7 beta is just that: a beta.

Dave Shea from Mezzoblue was quick off the mark with his review of the new IE7 beta.

I had given up on this. The widget automatically picked up (presumably from my system) that I am in Perth so I assumed it would know I was in Perth, Western Australia as that is the setting on my system — but the temperatures being returned were ridiculously different to the actual weather here. I assumed this widget was only useful for U.S. users who could also enter their ZIP codes to choose their city.

This is really just a heads-up for some not-new news, but I thought this idea shows promise.

Longhorn is no more. (Well, maybe it is, but I’m guessing it won’t be referred to as Longhorn from now on!) Microsoft has announced the new (well, upcoming) Windows version is to be called Windows Vista.

I did a clean install yesterday. I was bored and just needed something to do.  :-)  Thought I’d write about it here for the benefit of those who might still be sitting on the upgrade fence regarding installing 10.4.

Holly Bergevin and Big John (John Gallant) from positioniseverything.net have yet again come up trumps, this time with a fantastic CSS flyout menu – by far the best such menu I’ve seen so far.

This is a nifty little tool I found when browsing Apple’s .Mac discussion groups a couple of days ago. It will turn any pic on your computer into a favicon for your website.
