As I already wrote, I’m trying to force Firefox to treat PDFs as any other binary file, because the Firefox-Adobe integration doesn’t work for me the way I’d like it to work.

I’ve posted a solution that, turns out, was only a temporary fix. The stupid behaviour is back, and I can’t find any more switches […]

Up to today, I couldn’t get the whole ‘greasemonkey hype’… I just couldn’t see what was so good about a couple of hacks, most of which were available as extensions before GM showed up.

Today, I have seen the light. Toying around with a fresh installation of Firefox, I wasn’t afraid of losing my entire firefox […]

While surfing around, killing some time, I ran across the mod_rewrite anti leech script creator by isnoop.com. It’s a great aproach to preventing image leeching from other sites. The only prerequisite is that you’re running mod_rewrite on your Apache web Server.

Aaron Boodman has an interesting article on creating popups that don’t suck. Anyone into web development or design should most definitely go check it out.

Never, ever, ever use the javascript: pseudo-protocol for anything, ever ever ever ever again. Please. Pretty please. The next time I click on a hyperlink, only to have it […]

EFF: Countdown to Grokster Argument

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2005 at 16:15

Ever since the Betamax ruling in 1984, inventors have been free to create new copying technologies as long as they are capable of substantial noninfringing (legal) uses. But by the end of this year, all that could change. In MGM v. Grokster, Hollywood and the recording industry are asking for the power to sue out […]

I can’t believe it. Yahoo is buying the best online photoshare community - Flickr!
