I just installed sIFR 2.0 on this blog… and I must say I’m impressed. I’ve tested it on IE, Firefox and Safari, and it works perfectly. It degrades gracefully, too. I tested it on IE 5 for the Mac, and my old title appeared. The only drawback is that it has to wait for the whole page to load before it replaces your text with the sIFR includes.
I’ve been wanting to be able to create slideshows in Quicktime format on Slideroll for a long time. It isn’t easy because it would involve creating Quicktime files dynamically with a server-side script. I was looking around for a human-readable format that Quicktime understands when I encountered SMIL.
Listening to Packard Goose right now, I realize I could not function without the music of Frank Zappa. Somehow it makes work and life easier. When I listen to Zappa, those little annoyances… Comment Spam… IE patches… Remote Debugger never working… Trying to understand the Quicktime spec… they don’t seem to matter quite so much. I just wish I could figure out the meter in Keep it Greasey. Maybe it’s because Zappa was so good at what he did, that he made it look effortless. Someday I hope I’m that good at something. Mooo-aaahhhh….
I’m still seeing blogs out there posting misinformation about the Microsoft IE Eolas Patent Suit Patch. All of the misinformation is regarding exactly how the patch will affect ActiveX controls embedded on a page. People are saying that the content “will not run until the user clicks on it”. This is simply not true. Code WILL execute, and your apps will run. The only difference is that the user must click once within the bounding box of the embedded content in order to interact with it.
