Opera Passes Acid 3? Not so fast…

By Giania • Mar 27th, 2008 • Category: Browsers

Hot: Perusing my feeds I saw a link to an article that Opera does in fact pass the Acid 3 test. I was pretty stoked to hear that, since I was pretty sure when I ran my copy of 9.26 and 9.5 through the test, neither one passed or even approached passing. (9.5 was closer [...]

By Giania • Mar 11th, 2008 • Category: Fnord

Hot: Traipsing about my collection of RSS links, as I am oft wont to do, I discovered one labeled Blackr. Despite the obvious Web 2.0 name, it struck me as curious and I proceeded. Blackr is described as a way to view Flickr content without all the noise of navigation, comments, and various whatnots. There [...]

Hot: Only the del.icio.us RSS feed can produce such gems as: http://ascii.techhappens.com/ – An ASCII art generator. http://www.dumblittleman.com/2007/10/10-surefire-ways-to-kill-your-crabby.html – Seen near a lifehack. http://www.myscienceproject.org/j-shot-3.html – Located in the vicinity of jello shot instructions. http://link.ezer.com/tools/google_serps_rank_checker.asp – Nearby a SERP rank checker.

Hot: http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070905-first-look-opera-9-5-alpha.html Some interesting tidbits from the article: Opera claims that the latest version is faster than ever before, and our experience bears this out. When running various JavaScript speed tests, Opera 9.5 scored slightly higher (281ms) than the previous released version, 9.23 (546ms). And Opera 9.x, let it be known, smacks silly the likes [...]

By Giania • Jun 18th, 2007 • Category: Browsers, Internet Toys, Literature, Memes, media

Hot: http://www.shelfari.com/giania I was tipped off by someone on my LJ friends list yesterday that there was indeed a social site based around books! Thank goodness. I’d been saying for ages I wish I had some place to collect a list of everything I’d read. At one point I tried to keep a .txt file [...]

By Giania • Jun 9th, 2007 • Category: Articles of Interest, Audio, Philosophy, Politics, media

Hot: Do you long for the days of ‘zines? Running off to follow loud bands who were either extremely concerned or extremely unconcerned with the way of the world? Dressing however you felt like, and sometimes with the express goal of freaking out the normals? Well I more-or-less don’t because I missed the whole thing. [...]

I signed up months and months ago as part of some contest and only recently started using it to assist a friend in figuring out what the big deal was.
