MSN Web Messenger & other stories…

Posted on Tuesday, August 10, 2004 in Uncategorized

Got this one via Pocket PC Wireless.net – it appears that Microsoft (or MSN rather) have a browser based MSN Messenger in beta. Fairly cool in itself, but to my surprise it works under Firefox on Linux – very impressive!

Just goes to show you don’t need to use ActiveX to get fancy applications in a web browser.

Other stories…

A few updates to the site…

First up is that I’ve ditched the banners that were based on photos from OpenPhoto.Net – a good resource for royalty free images if you need them – instead I’ve started using my own photos. I was browsing through them last night and decided that some of them were good enough to use, so…

The banners are rotated at random – you can keep hitting refresh or look here.

I’ve also added a colophon. If you’re wondering what that is:

A statement found at the end of a book. A colophon may give information about the typography and printing methods used in the book or may serve as a statement of printing limitation.

I’ve noticed them on various sites (notably Dunstan Orchards blog) in place of the typical “about me” or “about this site” pages and decided to put one here.
