I were very frustrated with PHP in my very beginnings doing web development (8 years to date). But 2 years ago discovered my favorite programming language: Lua, and then decided to start the Nutria project. For more than a year I have tried several ways to "port" my web knowledge to Lua, and finally two months ago decided to do use my new Lua skills for real world web development.

And the result is: "Ophal... a highly scalable web platform, easy to maintain and extend. It is not married with a particular technology, just the essence will be kept on any major change needed to achieve its mission". Let me remark that Ophal has many influences, but the highest comes from Drupal, more will be elaborated about it in the future. Also, I'm giving a lot of credit to Lua, but LuaJIT is the actual compiler used behind scenes.

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.

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).

"There are three main difficulties that an inexperienced developer faces when trying to understand JavaScript as used in Drupal:

1. The lack of documentation,
2. The OOP style of programming,
3. The confusion between all the different elements and API involved

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.

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!
