Screenshot of IE8 passing the ACID2 Face test

Dean at M$ reckons IE8 passes the ACID2 face 'test'. I'm dubious. The screen shot is convincing, but I'll believe when I've seen it with my own eyes.

How to get the most value out of your programmer

20 December 2007 - 11:23am — Bevan

This article about the psychology of programmers hits the nail on the head. Finding it difficult and even impossible to get 'into the flow', was one of the sources of frustration in my recent employment that lead me to resigning.

Yet Another Reason Why Open Source is Fun! :)

How often do you get spammed?

6 December 2007 - 11:43am — Bevan

I get spammed approximately every 103 seconds. Really. Here are my numbers and calculations; http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pTpwkDap5YFcnDJ5RRAlIRw

The mailboxes collectively include several catch-all's and many webmaster@ postmaster@ and abuse@ email addresses. I used to publish my email addresses online fairly liberally. Some of the email addresses are several years old and are probably on every single spam-mailing-list.

How many spam emails do you get?

Away December 7 to 17

4 December 2007 - 8:24am — Bevan

I'm away in Australia visiting family and attending a wedding from Friday 7 December to Monday 17 December. I will have little (if any) internet connectivity while away.

I'm back! Had fun. All family stuff, lot's of driving, some kangaroos and a few beaches.
