Need to chew some CPU with Safari 1.1?

(5:33 pm) Tags: [General]

Simply navigate over to my test page, and you should see your cpu (use Activity Monitor) shoot through the roof.

I tried to reduce it as much as possible. If I remove any of the widths, heights, or even the form tag, the problem goes away. Also, if I move the form tag above the table, everything seems OK.

Note that the form did have some content (inputs), but it was not necessary to reproduce the problem.

I hope this is enough information for the Safari team to reproduce. I have trackbacked this to the Surfin Safari Safari 1.1 post.

Rich Text Editor for Safari?

(2:42 pm) Tags: [Software]

Since my company has implemented a rich text editor for IE using contentEditable, I have been looking for a rich text editor solution for Mozilla. Googled most of the day, and found various hacks that worked in the past. Then I stumbled onto the conversion from IE contenteditable to midas notes. They even have a demo.

So, the question for all you lazywebbers out there, how do I go about finding/implementing a rich text editor for Safari? Caveats: 1, it cannot be an applet (enterprise security concerns/mandates), 2 - Must be extensible (I will be adding redlining capability to it), and 3, no Flash.

Let me know if you have any solutions to the Safari rich text editor dilemma.

Panther in the house

(9:31 pm) Tags: [General]

Having upgraded the PowerBook 17 to Panther (Mac OS X 10.3), I can say that I am very pleased. The reason I upgraded was for threaded email, but the ability to print to a Windows printer is a joy. The only problem I encountered was Emacs refused to run. So, I struck out, downloaded it from CVS, built and installed, and everything is fine. Thanks to Jason for the help in that one.

Some say it seems a bit faster, but I am not seeing that. Seems about the same speed to me. The only speed difference I have seen is that Preview is actually usable now from a speed perspective.

Looking for a Realtor in Goldsboro?

(11:05 am) Tags: [General]

You live in the Goldsboro, NC area, or maybe you are looking to move there. Give Tim and Jane a try. You will not be disappointed. I personally know Jane Bartlett, and I believe that she would be the best possible realtor for you. Of course, this is assuming that you are in the market for a new home in the Goldsboro/Wayne county area of North Carolina.

Contact Info:
Jane Bartlett or Tim Lail - timandjane at timandjane dot com

They seem to be affiliated with GMAC (formerly Town and Country?), and I am not affiliated with them :)

Spam of the Union

(12:20 pm) Tags: [Life]

In a 24 hour period (2am to 1:59 am)

Spam I received yesterday: 203
Spam I received 90 days ago: 124
Spam I received 180 days ago: 37

Is the internet going to grind to a halt, or am I just a ‘lucious spam target’?
