Publiquei todos os episódios arquivados do Zé Megabyte. Havia mais um ou dois mas infelizmente estão perdidos… se alguém tiver, por favor me mande!

Update: os episódios agora estão na ordem certa (não invertida). Desculpem a falha…

Bill Amend has a new take on Halloween at Foxtrot.

Comecei a repostar em tópico separado as aventuras de Zé Megabyte, uma história em quadrinhos que publiquei na década de 80.

The Joy of Tech, one of my favorite online cartoons, blasts pop-up ads.

I agree that pop-ups and pop-unders are evil and should be abolished. Most modern browsers have options to suppress them; MSIE is the notable exception. The capability to open new windows, resize or move existing windows, or alter the window layering should be eliminated from JavaScript altogether; I can’t think of a single justifiable example. MSIE compounds its sins by blocking all activity – even quitting or clicking on the close button – until a pop-up has finished loading all its noisome payload.

Update: Illiad‘s UserFriendly expresses my sentiments very well…

When I was four-and-a-half, I learned to read with a stack of German issues of Mickey Mouse.

Ever since, I’ve been a comics fan; I’ve got a fair number of collections by Bill Watterson, Berke Breathed, Goscinny&Uderzo, Quino, Ziraldo, and others.

Here are some on-line comics I check most every day:

Dilbert

Kevin & Kell

PVP Online

Foxtrot (beware popups )

Doonesbury (beware popups )

and weekly or so:

Joy of Tech

The 5th Wave (beware popups )
