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

What would you say is the prevalence of Java applets on web pages these days?

Good question. I just installed a Java update on my work computer and was wondering the same thing.

I think Java applets are much less prevalent these days, but I occasionally notice them. I can't remember specifically where I've seen applets recently.

From time to time I end up running Java applications, but that's different kettle of fish.

Now I'm wondering what exactly a kettle of fish is? What kind of fish? How are they prepared?

eta: Also, what Gud said.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I think we use Java at work for SameTime meetings. I'm pretty sure that's why I've got it on my work computer.

I was gonna say this radar weather thingie is a Java applet, but I checked and it's Flash: [link]

It seems Flash has replaced most Java applets in web pages, no?

eta: I thought this was Java, but it's Javascript: [link]

Javascript has replaced a lot of Java applets too, right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And that Apple is definitely distancing itself from. Hmm.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Apple is definitely betting big on JavaScript/HTML5.

Coding and Sleeping

I think JavaScript/HTML5 will eventually take over for web apps (though Java will probably still be on the server side and you can develop web apps in Java using GWT, but it gets converted to JavaScript). If Oracle is making an OS/X JVM, then it doesn't seem like a big deal.

Wordpress question: if I now have two blogs, how do I separate between them so I'll be able to access both of them with different usernames and different passwords?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I'm not used to dealing with this. New job as inkjet printer (I usually buy cheap brother laser printers). This is a decent scanner/copier/printer guy, so I can't just buy a new printer instead of ink.

Is there a good source for OEM Canon ink cartridges? They seem rather pricey.

I would swear that many of the big box office stores refill injet cart, but can't swear to brands.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Costco does refills but not for the inkjet printer I have.
