Not Enough iRam

The amount of time you can use a 1.8GHz iMac G5 with just 256MB of RAM, in case your wondering, hovers at about 24 hours.

It’s a very nice machine (of course I’m sure the Core Duo iMacs are nice as well) but I’d just like to confirm that 256MB of RAM is not enough. That’s probably the case for any Mac you get nowadays. (More RAM should be here tomorrow. Yay!)

Perl + Madison = MadMongers

MadMongers is the Madison Area Perl Mongers group, and they’ve got a nice site over at madmongers.org

Of course I missed the meeting, but I guess 20 Perl Mongers showed up, which sounds like a pretty good turnout.

Anyway, if you’re near Madison, and a Perl hacker, hit one of their meetings, they seem like a nice group. (Heck, that Andy Lester guy is even a member!)

Goofy Google Clicks

Hey Google, what is with the goofy links you create for the image search results?

Google Links

When I just do a normal old click on any of the numbered results, it works fine. If I do a command-click, the link opens in a new tab, but also opens in the current tab. (This is bad!) If I do a right-click (or control-click) to get the context menu and select ‘Open Link in New Tab’ it works fine. What is up with that?

I don’t suppose writing valid markup and having links as links instead of a garbled mess of Javascript has anything do to with it… What do you think?

CSS Rules!

This is the follow-up post to last week’s CSS Sucks (Sort of…)

The project I’m currently working on has many nightmare related issues, like the client, and the flash-based navigation, and the tight deadline, but CSS is the one thing that is actually making the insane “print-designer meets the web circa 1997” design all possible… Thanks CSS!

Zooomr

Zooomr looks interesting… and since they are offering 2.5 GB free pro accounts to bloggers who try it out, I thought I would do just that.

I had a bit of trouble with login issues (I signed up awhile back) since they recently updated their login system, but it all seems to be working fine now. They don’t have a bulk uploader or iPhoto exporter yet, but once they do, I may just blast a thousand or more photos into the system. For now I just have a few photos I manipulated a bit. Uploading 10 at a time is not a lot of fun.

I definitely think Zooomr could compete with Flickr and the other photo sharing services out there. It’ll be interesting to see what features they implement in the future to set themselves apart.
