Stylish: per site CSS fix

Annoyed because you have to increase text size in "that" site?, what about sites where webmasters asume all screens are 800x600 still?

Don't suffer anymore and make the Internet look your way!

Use Stylish Firefox plug-in.

Blessings!


Seamonkey / IceApe and Session Manager

I really like Firefox and family(Swiftweasel / Iceweasel), for both: work and home, because they are key tools(I'm Drupal developer & themer) but they stress me sometimes because can consume all my resources in conjunction with my local webserver: Apache, MySQL and PostgreSQL, so I use a lighweight alternative: Iceape(Debian version of Seamonkey).

Why I ported from Joomla to Drupal ?

Let me talk about the history(hehe)
I was webmaster of somesite.com from october 2006 to march 2007.
In January 2007, my new boss wanted to port current home made CMS to a solid platform.
My boss choice was Java, using JBoss(I still smile when remember). I've made research by 3 weeks...
Drupal was the winner, core+community comply at least 80% of full somesite.com functionalities,
the other missing had to be just 2 months of customization and integration of special funcionalities, then the theme and final testing.


Safari on Linux? Yes! but terrible!!

One day after Safari's launch, Wine team was able to run Safari for Windows XP/Vista, look at this screenshot.
As an alternative you can try Konqueror (that uses WebCore based on KHTML) or, until they fix wine to get Safari running OK, try with BrowsrCamp.
Anyway, now web developers(me too!) have to test AJAX under Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and Safari!!! r_r
Blessings!
