"When the world's run by fools it's the duty of intelligence to disobey." Martin Firrell

hi ita et al,

the CoolIris stuff is pretty cool. It has kept me entertained for a night or two and I just discovered the powerpoint plugin which enables you to mutate your ppts into a PicLens gallery and display it on the 3D graphics wall. It certainly jazzes up a plain old ppt and will look pretty impressive projected on a big screen I would think. There is also a WordPress plugin which enables it to be used within blogs too.

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

Does anyone know of a handy-dandy list of all the differences between the way IE handles XML/Javascript and other browsers?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Used Chrome at work today. It's very fast on my laptop (an oldish one).

I'm not sure there's a quick list, as the differences are great, but QuirksMode looks comprehensive.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I have yet to get Chrome to install on two different XP machines.

the installers won't launch, or they appear to and then disappear.

I even downloaded the standalone installer on one machine.

Daniel, I had to run the installer, then search my profile path for 'chrome' and manually run the installer it extracts.

I found a Chrome installer log.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Here is a review comparing the current Chrome beta to Firefox 3 and the current IE8 beta: [link]

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

The annoying thing about Firefox 3 is the autofillin thinger in the address bar, but fortunately the SO figured me out a way to nix it.

Haven't tried Chrome yet.

I don't think I ever had autofillin on on my firefox 3. it makes suggestions, but not autofill.
