Now, this competition looks interesting! There’s an iPod and a 17″ LCD to go to the winner so maybe I should get my SEO hat on!
This Google Search will be one to watch over the next few weeks!
(See! I managed to avoid mentioning nigritude ultramarine for the whole of this post! Oh. Doh!)

Does anyone else have problems sending commands to a running instance of Mozilla Firefox?
I want Thunderbird to open links in new Firefox tabs but the following command fails:

$ mozilla -remote "openurl(http://www.mozilla.org, new-tab)"
Failed to send command.
$

If I don’t include a URL then a dialog pops up asking for one but that’s hardly what I want to happen. Google hasn’t been too helpful, but maybe someone reading this has come across this already!

I’m almost certain I linked to this site before, but I’m clearing up my open tabs and it looks like something I want to read later.
And further on the design topic, 10 things that you don’t learn in design school, or any school for that matter. The points raised here apply equally well to any facet of life!

This generator produces fluid css and I’m trying to persuade the 3 column one to play nicely with my blog design and wishes. Alas, with little luck. Must try later.

Oooh.. this is a nice bookmarklet! It displays information about the components of a web page by simply moving the mouse over them. This is another to add to my “Web” folder.

Via del.icio.us:

• The Standards compliant, table-less Xhtml and Css code generator – Very nice app for generating CSS layouts!
• CSS Based Navigation – very cute and pretty navigation!

When your webserver isn’t running localhost isn’t very useful! Firefox/Firebird/Mozilla and possibly other browsers will then search for localhost and right now it finds localhost.be!
The author of that site wondered where all his visitors were coming from before the cookie dropped! The last localhost I remember on Google was an Australian localhost AFAIR. It looked commercial and the guy linked above should put a few Google ads on his site!
How to avoid visiting his site? Disable keywords in Firefox.

Ooer. Looks like a vulnerability in Mozilla. It doesn’t mention Firebird or Firefox explicitly but I presume they’re vunerable too unfortunately.

This looks really useful. It lets you choose a colour scheme and paint it onto a mini web page. (Via Scripty Goddess)

Dave updated the style sheet on his blog so that the first letter of his blog entries are super big. Nice! Now, if the letter was vertically up a bit more it’d look a lot better. In Moz FF there’s an annoying space above the letter..
