I got online this morning feeling I’d missed some huge world event. Well, kinda. Internet Explorer 7 beta has been released. And from all accounts, it’s a fairly half-hearted effort. Dave Shea, among others, has given it an exhaustive autopsy – basically the only big news is tabbed browsing, alpha PNG support and a few CSS2 updates.

IE7: Drowning in Deprecated Browsers?
Friday, July 29th, 2005Kewell Redux
Wednesday, July 27th, 2005My last word on the Kewell-Liverpool debate, on April 27th 2005, was that his commitment to the club inspite of his injuries could be enough to rejuvenate the Kop faithful’s belief in him. He eventually came on as a late substitute against Chelsea in the Champion’s League semi-final, and put in a solid performance to keep the score locked at 0-0, which lead to Liverpool’s now infamous date in Istanbul.

Change Left For Coffee
Monday, July 25th, 2005The West — the only daily paper (bar sundays) in Western Australia — is now available online in its entirety for $4 per edition (slightly cheaper for bulk subscriptions). So, I can view the online version (using Olive Software’s ActivePaper product) for $4, or buy a copy at the newsagent for $1.20, with change for a coffee. Or, just read the main stories on the site for free. Actually it’s fairly irrelevent as The West is a borderline tabloid anyway — I’d much rather be reading ABC News for local content.
I assume the price is inflated by licensing costs and extra labour involved in getting the online version done. But what logic is there in paying 3 times the price for an online version as opposed to a print copy? I really wonder what the The West Australian’s objectives are with this service. Perhaps they’re not sure either.
Back in Action
Sunday, July 24th, 2005And it was my fault, not WordPress! Anyway, so far WordPress is much better than Movable Type. Mostly for the fact that I don’t have to hit the ‘rebuild site’ button ever, ever again. Hooray for that.
Stand by…
Thursday, July 21st, 2005Goodbye MovableType, hello WordPress… and a strange PHP error which will be resolved shortly.
