The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

The Good
All of the extensions that really matter to me work in the latest Firefox 3 beta.
The Bad
Notice, I said beta, not release candidate. A couple of them work in the latest RC.
The Ugly
I can still use extensions.checkCompatibility to get me through until they’re all flagged to work properly again.

When Lawyers Attack

In an earlier draft I was going to put some witty joke in here about lawyers being out of control. I finally came to my senses — obvious jokes aren’t jokes at all, they’re just annoying. Now, if only I had an intro to put here that I didn’t think was stupid:

You shall, in your sole discretion, avoid the excessive use of the Online Game so as not to disturb your healthy and sound life. KONAMI will not be liable for any social, mental, physical damages caused by the excessive use of the Online Game. Any troubles and/or conflict of interests among the users of the Online Game shall be resolved among such parties and KONAMI does not assume any liability or responsibility regarding such troubles and/or conflict of interests.

That was all in the first half of the EULA Scroll Box From Hell™. The second half, which was cheerfully titled “BASIC TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE OF KONAMI ID”, had four sections. These sections were called, and I swear I’m not making this up, Chapters. At what point, exactly, does your life go so wrong that you could write multiple chapters of legal restrictions, attach it to a game, and think this was a good idea?

Site Notes

Aside from the normal messing around with my style sheets, I added an early version of a Pepper I’m working on this week. I had a QuickTime checker in there before, but it was triggering the information bar in IE. Sure, “works in IE” isn’t exactly my driving concern here, but still. Let me know if you see any new1 errors, warnings, or lost goats wandering around my website.

Speaking of IE, I haven’t looked at my latest style sheets in IE, so the whole place could be an unintelligible mess for all I know. Visually, I mean. You know — for different reasons than it usually is.

  1. …or are “still seeing old” for that matter. []
