Re: Weblogs.com Not Using HTTP Compression

smp — Fri, 02 Sep 2005 07:35:35 -0000

All major browsers, and most recent proxy servers do handle compressed content very well.

This myth has lasted since the Netscape days, and was solidified by a broken version of MSIE many years ago.

IT IS UNTRUE!

We busted a major Canadian bank that was not allowing any version of MSIE to be sent compressed content. But they happily sent compressed content to Firefox and Opera.

Content Compression works. Do it.

However, PubSub will still come up on top; Google doesn't bother to compress their ATOM feeds.

Ouch!

Re: This blog no longer supports MSIE <= 6.x

MSIE 7 will likely be a fresh air. As long as you are on XP or better.

The question for you my friend is: why tie yourself to a single browser?

Oh yeah, you only know how to write code for MSIE. I forgot.

Re: READER’S SUGGESTIONS: Need a new Tech Geek Gadget a-go-go Bag

This post suddenly got resurrected this morning (Thanks to Cameron!).

My preference (if I ever discover the secret to disposable income) would be to go with either the Waterfield or the Timbuktu. David Parmet (http://parmet.net/pr/) swore off the Timbuktu after it failed miserably on him.

Until then, I lug the Inspiron 8500 (Sexy...NOT!) around in a Targus laptop backpack...

I am such a dork.

Re: Pencils: The New Trendy Scribe Tool

smp — Wed, 09 Aug 2006 22:43:09 -0000

I actually like the "cheap" feeling of the 48-box of Staples-brand pencils I bought today. In the end, I find mechanical pencils insert a distance to the writing that shouldn't be there. Even the VERY expensive ST Dupont pen I found abandoned in the back of a drawer at my old job is too clunky.

I have also added a Rite in the Rain to my collection of notebooks and they suggest using pencils. That's why I started with them again.

I still have a Fisher Space Pen...but it's at the bottom of my pencil case.

Yup. Her first appearance in the series, as a matter of fact.

My boys live, eat and breathe Mythbusters.

You must find the ejector seat in their recent Hollywood Myths episode.
