IE6 and IE7 Running on a Single Machine
The developers over at IEBlog released a Windows XP SP2 image file with IE6 installed on it for testing! The image is pre-activated and will work until April 1st, 2007. (Maybe that’s a joke and it will run forever?) This is a great way to test IE6 and IE7 locally.
[bias]I still don’t recommend using IE, […]

IE7 Stand-Alone Beta 2
Jon Galloway has setup a great batch script for running IE7 in stand-alone mode. If you want to start testing IE7 with XHTML, CSS and JavaScript but don’t want to lose IE6 then I highly recommend Jon’s script. The only caveat with IE7 in stand-alone mode is that you cannot have the IE Developers Toolbar […]

Find IE Memory Leaks
Drip is a tool that helps developers find IE memory leaks in their code. It’s open source and available on SourceForge. Check it out or just ban IE from your website entirely using Explorer Destroyer. Kill Bill’s Browser is also a helpful resource for creating IE mayhem on your website. Better yet, switch to a […]

Mozilla/Firefox Using Too Much Memory?
I love Firefox. Even though it uses hundreds of megabytes of memory at times, I still use it. A feature that Firefox employs is the pre-caching of pages that you might visit which translates to massive memory usage. This feature would have been great in 1999 when everyone was using a 56k modem. Now, that […]

Real Alternative
I never install Real Player. I think it’s a terrible program. However, every once in a while some crazy company (name intentionally left out) creates training videos for their crazy product API (again, name intentionally left out). Anyway, I refuse to install Real Player. Even if it would allow me to watch the API training […]

IE7 Beta
Today Microsoft released beta copies of the next version of Windows and IE7! It’s actually not all that exciting. Well, not all that exciting for we Apple users. A new Apple Store opening is much more exciting!
My first impression was, “Why, oh why are programs still using the registry to store information.” I […]

Firefox
Firefox has promotional videos online now. I watched the first two but the third one was taking too long and I lost interest. The ones I saw were pretty funny — but not funny enough to make me wait for the third to load.

Firefox Extensions
I found another great Firefox extension this morning that allows you to add Delicious bookmarks from any page you’re viewing. Some other extensions that I am using include:
GooglePreview: shows a screenshot of each result on a Google search
AdBlock: Blocks ads both Flash and graphic; does not use a blacklist - you teach it
FireSomething: Renames […]
