Solipsism Gradient

I fixed a bug that was, errhh… bugging me for some time. Linking to individual posts in the main weblog topic now works, and it returns to the correct place after posting, too.

I’m also checking out Apple’s new Safari browser. Practically my whole site seems to work OK, except for button placement which sometimes is off a few pixels… no great problem.

I’ve downloaded Safari, Apple’s new web browser for Mac OS X, just after yesterday’s MacWorld keynote. Despite breaking Apple’s previous record for downloads – meaning that their servers were under an unprecedented load – it came in at full speed on my 256K ADSL connection.

Anyway, I’ve been using it quite a lot and once they fix a few bugs it should be solid enough to displace Internet Explorer for most purposes.

If you’re using Safari, you may be interested in David Hyatt’s weblog. David worked on Chimera and is now one of the principal Safari developers.

This mudhole blocked our way to Capivari, and the bus detoured over the grass. On the way back the grass had turned into a swamp, and we were stuck until 3 in the morning, when a jeep arrived to pull us out…

This thick moss carpet was all over the stones of a garden wall.
