'WebPositive emerges' ¬

2010-03-03

The first official build of WebPositive for Haiku is now out. Tthe primary developer, stippi:

I’ve been working fulltime on WebPositive, often from ninish in the morning to about midnight, with some pauses in between of course. Except for missing bookmark support and an almost useless browsing history menu (because seemingly unsorted), WebPositive has become quite usable[.]

I concur, even without bookmark support, cacheing, and a number of other features, it’s faster and friendlier than BeZilla.

'Diving into WebKit' ¬

2010-02-26

It looks like the Haiku OS port of WebKit has gotten some serious traction as of late. We should be seeing WebPositive in the near future.

I pull up Haiku in VMWare Fusion on a more regular basis these days and a good browser is exactly what it needs at this point.

Oh, the BeOS nostalgia!

The A-Team ¬

2010-02-17

A childhood favorite, but the original series is actually quite painful to watch at this point, so I’m sure an action-packed remake of The A-Team for the big screen with plenty of explosions and burnt rubber can do no harm. The question is, will they do justice to the unique personalities of Hannibal, Murdock, Face, and B.A.?

Craig Mod summed up this trailer best:

Yes, that was a tank that came out of the airplane that blew up the other airplane.

You can catch the original series for free on Hulu, rent from Netflix, or buy from Amazon, if you’re so inclined.

Vehiculr.com for Sale ¬

2010-02-17

I dislike domain squatting and I didn’t use this domain as planned, so I’m selling vehiculr.com and its matching Google/Gmail & Twitter accounts. I’m only really looking to recover registration & listing fees, but a few extra dollars would certainly help.

Please help spread the word if you know anyone who might be interested.

Excellent to see that Pixar still had plenty of fresh ideas for this sequel.

'iPad App Wish List for a Server Admin' ¬

2010-01-27

Me, as a Mac OS X Server admin, regarding the iPad:

It’s sexy. It has the potential. It certainly has the screen resolution and performance to take on such tasks. I’ll even guarantee that plenty of third-party tools will be developed for server admins using the iPad, but I hope Apple sees the light and brings over their own admin tools as well.
