IE7 UserAgent string
Posted on Saturday, July 30th, 2005
Is it (Apart from being spoofed) ?:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0b; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Except for the .NET stuff… IS IE7 dependant on the .NET Framework?
Just some thoughts… Anyhow, anyone building around a useragent-string isn’t doing the right thing.

Calibri, Cambria, Candara, Consolas, Constantia and Corbel
Posted on Saturday, July 30th, 2005
These are the new ‘web’ fonts as described earlier. Looking at my stats I’ve seen an interest for downloading these fonts. No I don’t have them (for download).

This is probably totally crossing the EULA.
Just [...]

Posted on Tuesday, July 26th, 2005
Today and probably the rest of the week I’ll have to work on a loaner. The trusty laptop has to go into shop for scrutiny and hopefully some repairs. In the meanwhile I’m looking at this barren desktop of a semi-fresh Windows XP. I’m wondering, how am I going to cram Photoshop, Dreamweaver [...]

MSN Virtual Earth Beta
Posted on Monday, July 25th, 2005
MSN could not stay behind longer so they released their own Google Maps called MSN Virtual Earth. Both can display maps and/or satellite imagery. Both offer ‘local search’. Both use somewhat of the same navigation tools. But IMHO it’s not the ‘Google killer’ yet, but see for yourself.

Revelations part 1
Posted on Saturday, July 23rd, 2005
What a day!
First there will be no Firefox 1.1. Nope. Instead they decided to skip 1.1 and go for 1.5 at once. Well it actually still is 1.1 but the features warrant a 1.5 bump up. Are you following me still? 1.1 = 1.5, 1.5 = 2.0 and 2.0 = 3.0. Anyway, no real [...]
