Firefox 1.5

Tuesday, November 29th, 2005 - 9:51 pm

Ever since its first release candidate (Firefox RC 1), I have been a big fan of the new improvements in Firefox.

Some of the cool features that I fell in love with;

  • Drag and drop reordering for opened tabs
  • Non-obstructive error message (You can do that with firetune for pre-1.5 versions)
  • Support for Web Standards including SVG (became evident to me with a pepper in my Mint), CSS 2 and CSS 3, and JavaScript 1.6
  • Easier options for the security settings
  • Force links that opens in New Window to open in a new Tab instead

Thanks

Friday, November 25th, 2005 - 6:48 am

I never realize the importance of ThanksGiving untill I experience one myself. I really wanted to write this article on my personal blog but then to push it home, I am having it here as I am targetting more of the technical peoples to extend my virtual Thanks.

I am somewhere in South Pasadena for over a week, living with a family, dinning everyday with them, family shopping for clothes, vegetables and everything else in between, watching movies, mixing both business dinners with family/friend getting-to-know meetings. Experiencing Sushi yet again. I wasn’t that comfortable eating it during my last visit in June this year but now I am beginning to like it. I was surprised when the chief chef at Yoshida recognized me with a Hello, Long Time; No See. Tasted the foods at a Thai Temple (I have forgotten where it was). They have something called “Green Card Lottery”; yes, you can get Green Card through Lottery. Well, they say America is more about foods, merry-making, enjoyment, nice cars, vacations and all the other good stuffs and I am beginning to believe that. The weather in this part of the state is really cool, extremely nice and is really soothing to a person coming from the humid warm weather of Mumbai, India.

Google Analytics’ Flashed

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2005 - 9:10 pm

I always believed that Google is more about non-flash and more of XMLHttpRequest. Brajeshwar.com is on Mediatemple, they have urchin for the site stats and I know that Urchin had nothing flashy about them. I use more of Mint to study the statistics but I am sure I will be more on Google Analytics for more details.

I signed …

Kill Bill’s Browser

Saturday, November 12th, 2005 - 9:12 am

It looks like the whole rage against Internet Explorer have started again with wilder fury. I just saw Boing Boing’s post about Kill Bill’s Browser. They have 13 hilarious Reasons to Swtich from Internet explorer to Firefox.

Not only that, there is also the Explorer Destroyer. Their claim is that for each person you switch, “Google …

That Penguin Game

Thursday, November 3rd, 2005 - 6:00 pm

I never realized that people will be wacking the Penguin that much. But recently after installing Mint and checking out the Current Activity Pepper, I see that the most amount of time people spent on my site was on the penguins and not the articles. ;-)
