Arghh! I really hate Microsoft

Posted in The Web by Diggory

If you are (unfortunate enough to be) using Microsoft Internet Explorer on a Microsoft Windows operating system then what you will see above is something like this:

While everyone else sees this:

So… angry - choking.. back the rage…

It’s almost as if MS exists soley to make my life hell.

HTML Validation AppleScript

Posted in AppleScript by Diggory
SafariScriptMenu.jpg Paste this into Script Editor:

tell application “Safari”
set frontURL to the URL of the front document
end tell

set newURL to “http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=” & frontURL

tell application “Safari”
set the URL of the front document to newURL
end tell

and then save it as a compiled script, drop it into ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Safari/

If you have the Script Menu installed [/Applications/AppleScript/Script Menu.menu] then, whenever Safari is the front application, the script menu contains an option to validate the HTML of the front web page.
n.b. this will only work for pages that are on a public web-server - it can’t validate local HTML that is not published.

XIcons has an RSS feed

Posted in The Web by Diggory

XIcons has an RSS feed here.

Which is good news for me, because it means that there are no sites which I have to check by hand any more. (There are some sites that I read who don’t yet provide an RSS feed, but they tend to be infrequently updated.)

If you don’t know what an RSS feed is and you use Mac OS X I strongly suggest you check out Net NewsWire Lite (see the bottom of the page for the light version.)

Two new phones that have been on the horizon for a long time have finally seen the light of day:

The Treo 600 And the N-Gage

Soon surely it must be SonyEricsson’s turn - with the P900.
