XML + CSS

Scott Andrew has a nice article about XML Transformations with CSS and DOM. I’ve already added a stylesheet to one of my RSS files, but Andrew is much better at writing CSS (and handling font choice, margins, etc.) than I am.

My RSS file looks odd with Andrew’s sample stylesheet (because of all the unstyled bells and whistles of the RSS2 template I got off Mark Pilgrim), but I wonder if I can set it as an alternate style sheet, as per the W3C spec.

Testing… Nope, doesn’t work. In Mozilla, which has a menu option for switching alternate style sheets, it doesn’t show up, and in IE, it picks up the 2nd style sheet (the alternate) and uses it.

Blake Ross on Mozilla customization

Blake Ross wants to Give the power to the users:

I showed these screenshots to some colleagues of mine in the industry, and while the reception was generally warm, a few said that leak-free garbage collection was too hard for some users. I find this extremely difficult to believe, but, if necessary, we could introduce a user-friendly assistant much like Microsoft Office’s clippy. I propose Reggie the Memory Register to aid in spotting and fixing leaks.

ROTFLOL!

Movable Type 2.6

My weblog’s front page looks funny. Maybe not enough text in the left column? Maybe this entry will fix that.

BTW, I upgraded to Movable Type 2.6. Don’t notice anything radically new, hope nothing’s broken.

ICS, take 2

Assaf Hershko recommended the Tapuz broadband and networking forum as a good source of info on ADSL and home networking.

Right now, I have my girlfriend’s PC hooked up to mine, and mine hooked up to an ADSL modem. There still are some bugs, but it seems to be working.

Yes, I did this before, and undid everything when I couldn’t get it to work smoothly. But I’m giving it another try…

Alphonse Mucha

detail from an Alphonse Mucha poster

The Artcyclopedia page of Alphonse Mucha links gave me a nice gallery of his work. Note that the site for the Alphonse Mucha museum in Prague (where you can see the originals for a lot of Mucha’s work) has no art on its pages.
