* Noticed over the weekend that my pages do not render very nicely at all with the Safari web browser. I have been slowly removing all of my old crufty bits from the site-code and trying to make it both CSS compliant as well as XHTML 1.0 Strict compliant. My stylesheet does in fact validate, but there are a couple of warnings that need to be cleaned up. As far as the XHTML validation, well, let’s just say that although I’ve removed a great deal, I still have a very long way to go.

* I have finally made a purchase of a new laptop, specifically a Toshiba 1905-S301 ( P4 2.0Ghz, 256mb, 40GB, DVD/CD-RW) It’s not a model listed on the linux for laptops site, but I hope to remedy that. With what you might ask? Well, with Debian, of course! I am pretty much a total convert thanks to apt-get! I still use the BSDs in server situations, (firewalls, etc) but I am beginning to favor Debian for my main workstation more and more (I’m composing this email on an Ultrasparc I running Debian Woody with a stock 2.4.18 kernel (I keep breaking strange things when I recompile the 2.4.18 or 19 sources…)

I have been shopping for a new laptop for a few weeks, stopping in at the Apple store about once a week. I was absolutely thrilled with Jobs’ keynote and the announcement of the 12″ powerbook. What an awesome little machine! Unfortunately, even with the amazing prices, I find my capital budget for hardware to be somewhat less than what is necessary to properly fund an Apple purchase at this point. I did play with the iBooks as well, and although they were well within my budget, the lack of power presented by the G3 was quite noticeable. I judged this merely by the time it took to load and/or switch between apps. (one of which was Safari) So, while I had Safari running, I pulled up my site and was less than thrilled with its rendering. I know my code isn’t the cleanest, especially with me re-writing things all the time, but sheesh, even IE renders the site pretty well. Posted Mon Feb 3 20:30:35 CST 2003

How do you know that they don’t render well with Safari? Did you get a Power Mac?Posted Mon Feb 3 19:39:17 CST 2003
