I had heard a few comments about how Bill Gates’ contribution to India wasn’t entirely based on his humanitarian generosity… That makes this really interesting:
Tux Fights Bux for the Soul of India. Someone at work recently said that they believe Bill Gates is the devil himself. I won’t comment on that on myself.
A most excellent look at validation from the Daring Fireball. Personally I end up writing only XHTML nowadays if I can help it, which is XML, and should be valid XML, so I mainly just check for my documents being well formed XML, and use my own common sense to come as close to possible at making them valid, and then test them with the W3C validator. It works well enough for me. (Of course I don’t use BBEdit anymore…)
From the Mozilla Spell-checker FAQ:
Does Mozilla have a spell-checker?
Yes. It’s located between the keyboard and the chair.
I finally got around to getting the Spell Check plugin working in jEdit on Mac OS X. Which wasn’t too bad really, mainly involving installing aspell with Fink, and loading an English dictionary. Now if only the plugin allowed you to add words… I need to learn more about aspell.
Mac OS X – solid, reliable, UNIX… right? Hmmm, my Quicksilver G4 does some weird stuff. Pretty often I can’t get it to awaken from sleep. I first thought it was just that the monitor wasn’t being recognized or something, but it looks more like something weird is going on. I have to force it to reboot fairly often, so much for uptime. I’ve got a USB hub with a few devices attached, could that be the problem? This has just started recently, post Jaguar. And speaking of Jaguar, Apple’s Mail.app is killing me. Has it got worse? Or has it got worse for people on a dialup? I routinely can’t even download my mail because it takes so freakin’ long, and it often just gives up, and doesn’t tell you it gave up. Sometimes I get doubled-up messages, most of the time it seems much slower than it should be. If I got a day or two without downloading mail, I need to log in to my ISP‘s webmail and delete all the damn spam just so there aren’t too many messages and Mail.app won’t choke… argh… I’m considering ‘switching’ to another mail client… again…
