BarCampMilwaukee Part IV

Due to a prior commitment (Happy Birthday Emma!) I will not be able to attend the Fireseed meeting on Sunday, August 6th, 2006. But if you have any interest in BarCampMilwaukee, I encourage you to be there…

To the folks who will be there, please get some major planning done, and annotate it on the BarCampMilwaukee wiki page, or in your blogs, or the mailing list, or wherever.

Once we nail down a date and venue, we can really start promoting this thing. Hooray for BarCamp!

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!
