About things, that are of interest to me (in English and in German).
Managed by the beautiful Tellico program, I’ve updated my database of books I own and have read. Currently the number is at around 560 books, while the next batch is already on its way from Amazon. And this doesn’t count the books about knowledge stuff (programming, computers, etc). And I guess about 2/3 is in English, which is not my native tongue. Not so bad, I think.
I’m a big fan of the ScribeFire Blog Editor. There is one very annoying behaviour however, that each time I’m pressing the key, which generates the X11 modifier ISO_Level3_Shift (and also the key with the modifier Super_L), that a new window with the ScribeFire online help opens. Since I’m composing the articles with the Markdown Wordpress plugin and a German keyboard layout, I’m frequently required to the press the ISO_Level3_Shift key. Fortunately, once the ScribeFire online help window has opened and has been placed below the main browser windows, it stays there, although the online help page is loaded each time the ISO_Level3_Shift key is pressed. Am I the only one, who sees this behaviour under Linux?
By choosing an readily available external theme, I though these IE CSS compatibilty issues would have been taken care off, but I was apparently wrong. I had omitted to look at this site with IE6, since at home I’m mostly working in a Linux environment. But today at work I took a quick look with IE6 and the result is, that I switched to the Abstractia theme, which also looks good in IE. I guess I need to check, if my minor changes caused the degradation of the Livegreen theme, but what I saw with IE6 was not very nice. And I’m really tired to relearn the IE quirks, each time I want to do a bit CSS styling after a bit of time doing no Web work.
