Hey. New board.

Hmm. I'm not sure, Typo Boy. Pretty much anything that's designed to make standalone HTML is going to use CSS these days so as to guarantee more complete WYSIWYG. For example, the TextEdit program included with Mac OS X can save RTF as HTML, but it uses very simple CSS to make the paragraphs look like.

I used to have a livejournal client that let you edit visually, and since LJ required vanilla HTML it came out nice and vanilla, but pretty much anything that's designed to work as a word processor is going to fail at the "very vanilla" code rule.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Anyone tried Firefox 3.5 yet? Any word on stability?

Coding and Sleeping

I've been using it since beta. Seems plenty stable.

Anyone use SQL Server (especially SQL Server 2008) to generate XML?

I really like GV - I used it when it was grandcentral. If I could send and receive faxes, I would be golden.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Gmail's drag&drop label update broke my Folders4Gmail extension. Anyone know if there's a workaround for this?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I don't use Folders4Gmail, but there's an "older version" link at the top of the page that you might try -- with the disclaimer that I don't know how old the older version in question is or whether it breaks anything else you need.

Yeah, that version is pretty old - not quite flat HTML, but close enough.

I'm sure the Folders4Gmail people will have an update soon.

Art Crawl!!!

I use the older version all the time at home, because my dial-up connection cannot handle the newer version.
