Internet

Hello CDN, bye bye OpenDNS

There was a time when using OpenDNS was of amazing help, a time when CDNs and geoIP were just emerging. Now those technologies are mandatory for our social media lifes. So some weeks ago I have experienced issues accessing many sites that used Akamai CDN: facebook.com, apple.com to highlight some. Then, after googling for a while, found some interesting articles:


RIP IE6 in 2 steps

In answer to the article "To Reduce IE6 Pain, Don't Leave It Until the End", let me show you a way to let IE6 rest in peace:

First Step: Create the file "ripie6.html"

Put it in the same folder as your ".htaccess" file. Be inspired to write a nice warning message, by example:

RIP IE6
Sorry, this site only works with Internet Explorer 7 or later. Mozilla Firefox is also a good one!

NOTE: I have written an example of "ripie6.html" file for you.


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!


I'm listed at Softpedia.com!

What a nice new year surprise... I'm quite happy to discover that 4 of my drupal modules are listed in the Softpedia's webscripts directory!

They are listed also at drupalmodules.com, but what I like about Softpedia is that they display my modules under my name, which reveals their respect to the authors.

I don't know if some softpedian will read this post, but Thank you!
