Safari for Windows – well almost

Tuesday, August 8th, 2006

You can now get a WebKit based browser for PC, which allegedly works and renders like Safari.

It is called Swift and can be downloaded at http://www.getwebkit.org/

In order to keep the original PC/Windows vibe going, the install will crash unless you apply a patch beforehand.

Testing ahoy!

Win free ebooks and copies of my books!

Monday, August 7th, 2006

I just published a competition on The web site of Beginning JavaScript with DOM Scripting and Ajax with prices like free ebook vouchers, copies of said book or Web Accessibility: Web Standards and Regulatory Compliance . All you need to show is either a little creativity or lack of fear of public embarassment.

On to the competition

Workfriendly surfing

Wednesday, August 2nd, 2006

Workfriendly Wait-till-i.com I just stumbled upon workfriendly, a web service that shows a web site inside a frame that looks like it is Microsoft Office Word 2003. The clue is that instead of just showing the page in the frame, the service also turns off imagery and layout and makes the web site appear as if it was a Word document. Perfect for those offices where the boss frowns upon web surfing.
