View-Source Is Good? Discuss.
Yes, "view source" is good. It's basically the best thing ever. We learn by example – and the fact that stuff like this is "open" helped HTML/CSS/JS to get the importance it has these days.
Warum benutzen Menschen immer noch den IE6?
Unite, die zweite
Da es gerade die Frage gab, inwieweit man bei Opera Unite von Opera abhängig ist – die Antwort lautet: Sehr. Das ganze läuft über die Proxy-Infrastruktur von Opera, damit ist auch ein eventuelles Filtern relativ leicht möglich. Detailliertere Gedanken dazu bei Chris Messina.
Opera Unite
Ganz schicke Sache – Opera Unite, quasi ein Webbrowser mit integriertem Webserver. Etwas sehr ähnliches gibt es auch für Nokia-Handies. Der erste Schritt zu einem nett cloud-igen Mesh, leider ist man (noch?) von Opera abhängig, was die URL angeht.

A Flock Of Seagulls
Gestern habe ich noch groß rumgetönt, wie schön stabil Flock bei mir läuft. Prompt stürzt er mir heute morgen im Dreivierteltakt ab.
Flock 1.0 RC3
Nachdem ich Flock lange Zeit nicht so toll fand, begeistert mich der RC von Flock 1.0 gerade doch ziemlich. Hübsches Browserchen mit lauter netten Features, wenn man so Social Media-verrückt ist wie ich.1

Jetzt reicht’s.
Diesen dämlichen Firefox mit seinen andauernden Abstürzen sowohl unter Windows als auch unter OS X starte ich nur noch, wenn ich Firebug oder die Web Developer Toolbar brauche. Bis dahin gebe ich Opera eine neue Chance.
