By Giania • Aug 7th, 2008 • Category: Internet Tools

Hot: Do you have RSS feeds for sites that you like, but they aren’t in your language? Don’t you wish you could get those feeds translated and delivered in the language you’re most comfortable reading? Of course you do!

Recent Digg Change Crashes Opera 9.27

By Giania • May 20th, 2008 • Category: Browsers

Hot: I have noticed that on two perfectly functional laptops (running Windows XP Pro) that when using Digg, Opera 9.27 crashes. Not just a hangup, or a page malfunction, but a full on Windows application error which forces me to end the process and restart the browser altogether. Having using Digg a fair amount in [...]



Update: URLTea NOT Dead??

By Giania • Apr 30th, 2008 • Category: Internet Tools

Hot: Well, just as its downtime was unannounced, so too is its resurrection. Out of habit I went to shrink down a url using my URLTea bookmarklet (which I refused to dispose of until I knew for sure), lo and behold it worked! Not only did it work, it worked super fast. What is going [...]



Opera and Web 2.0

By Giania • Apr 23rd, 2008 • Category: Browsers

Hot: As an Opera desktop edition user, I am part of a browsing minority. I started using Opera years ago, back when they still had banner ads to support their desktop offering.

Think For Myself? Don’t Mind if I Do!

By Giania • Apr 7th, 2008 • Category: Fnord, Philosophy

Hot: It’s been a very Twitter-heavy weekend, as previous posts will demonstrate. I had a brief spat with some woman named Amanda Chapel because I had issues with the idea of arguing against the merits of internet culture on the internet. Particularly on such a limited platform such as Twitter. I really need to think [...]



Apologies for infinitedesu & New RKNet Friends

By Giania • Apr 2nd, 2008 • Category: Recursion

Hot: I just want to apologize for any visitors who have actually gone to infinitedesu.com. While I feel as though I did provide fair warning when I originally linked it, I was looking at WPStats and couldn’t help but notice that people have actually clicked on that. What you will find, upon visiting infinitedesu.com is [...]



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 [...]



Web App Day for RKNet!

By Giania • Mar 18th, 2008 • Category: Recursion

Hot: Today I put a click mapping app on RandomKitty.net. It will give me “heat maps” of where people click when they are on the main page of the blog. I may add it elsewhere, but the home page needs an overhaul before I do that. If you’d like to view the current heat map [...]
