Apple Powermac G5

Published in the wee hours of June 25, 2003

It would be so cool to be using one of these, if only I know how to erase a rewritable disc in OS X. Tried out the G4 at the office, learned that I will always be Bill Gates’ cash–daddy.
If you plan to get the G5, be sure to read some interesting thoughts on Apple’s benchmarks. And don’t skip the comments at the bottom of the page, high points for entertainment value.

Impressive fashion photos

Published in the late afternoon of June 24, 2003

I was browsing around Jerry Tieng’s now famous www.photos.ph and came across two inspiring fashion galleries: Tommy Zablan’s My Ordinary World and Jake Verzosa’s Fashion/Portraits. If you see all of Jake’s photos, you’ld be amazed how good he is considering all he did back in High School was play Magic The Gathering and basketball. Hehe, I get to poke fun at him here, he won’t be reading any of this anyway. :)

Dead Microsoft Browsers

Published in the wee hours of June 15, 2003

After stopping further development of Windows Internet Explorer 6, Microsoft has announced that IE5/Mac would be the Mac’s last. It would have been easy to rejoice thinking there will be less browsers to worry about, but realizing that more people will be stuck with their current Microsoft browser only makes things seem a bit darker. IE5/Mac was way ahead compared to other browsers, allowing designers to embrace standards-compliant code.
But then again, maybe these events will bring on the domination of the big bad lizard.

Bad browser sniffing

Published terribly early in the morning of June 8, 2003

While reading reviews of retro air jordans at Kicksology, I clicked on a link to air-jordans.com but couldn’t get in using my Mozilla Firebird 0.6. The site was sniffing my browser incorrectly, thinking it was some old browser before IE4 or NN4. Mozilla also can’t access the site. Bad browser redirection script? It’s a personal site, so probably the owner used a freely available script with some faulty browser identification logic.
Come to think of it, if only browser makers focused on standards support several years ago, then browser sniffing need not be invented at all.

Second day at work…

Published mid-afternoon of June 3, 2003

It’s my second day working at Jaemark’s office, trying to come to terms with phpnuke and postnuke, trying to make the most out of these monstrous applications. I never understood before how nuke can be used, until I did a postnuke install in less than five minutes. Doing a windows install would be much harder.
