Feather Ajax 1.0.2 Updates
July 20th, 2009It was pointed out to me that Feather Ajax version 1.0.1 no longer worked with current browsers (e.g. Firefox 3.5).

July 10th, 2009I have an older machine that I recently converted into an Ubuntu 9.04 server for various needs. One of those needs is to play television shows or movies onto a TV via an S-video output. I did not want dual output or anything like that — I simply wanted a TV hooked into my machine.

Javascript Speed Test – 2009 Browsers
July 10th, 2009The official Summer 2009 Javascript speed test results have been posted! Check them out under the “Test Results” section of the page.

Opera, the once champion of the speed test, has fallen from its throne to the second-to-last position. Perhaps the most surprising is how much worse IE8 fared relative to its competitors — it was 2-3 times slower, but now is performing almost five times slower.”
