I'll be praying for you guys that you can be impactful in your ministries in San Antonio (this is refreshing to hear a church doing such). To God be the Glory!

But still no OGG support, even once its finalized. Seriously?

Re: A WebKit powered Internet Explorer makes sense

jawee — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 07:00:03 -0000

Gecko is developed primarily by Mozilla. Webkit is developed primarily by Apple. Gecko is used in Mozilla's browsers (Firefox, Seamonkey, etc.) and Webkit is used in Apple's browsers (Safari, iPhone, etc.). WebKit is also used in many third party browsers like Chrome, Midori, and Arora. Gecko is also used in my many third party browsers like Flock, Epiphany (webkit version also available), and Kazehakase.

So why does the article say "Firefox on the other hand has its own rendering engine called Gecko". Gecko has been around longer and is probably used in more browsers than Webkit is. Gecko is also portable and runs on mobile devices (MicroB, Fennec, and Minimo are all available for the Nokia Internet Tablets). Gecko is free and can be implemented elsewhere.

Also, another good free engine is KHTML. KHTML is implemented in Konqueror and has also been implemented in other browsers in the past (such as AWeb).

Hmm, I rather like it actually. I have been using it since the developer preview and didn't know the change had been made. Good job Google!

Re: I So Want To Kick Explorer Right In The Ass

jawee — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 16:18:40 -0000

I really wish that there were a portable Windows version of Konqueror. I have to use Explorer at school and hate it. Konqueor is awesome... file previews, integrated kparts (pdf, documents, videos, images), tabs, split view, ftp, ssh/sftp, web browser (using it now). It is awesome. Very configurable and lots of options too.

Re: Google Page Rank updates begin to appear

jawee — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 07:41:17 -0000

I would argue that https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/... Live Pagerank is easier because it doesn't take up as much valuable screen space. :)

(Note: There are other similar extensions, this is just what I use.)

It exists, whereas the Ibex mock up is just that―a mockup.

Re: Should all RSS subscribers “count”?

jawee — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 16:52:17 -0000

I read your blog all of the time through a few Google Blog Search RSS feeds and occasionally from likes/comments on FriendFeed (like this post!), but I still probably read most of your content. However, I do not appear in your number.

Also, when I do subscribe to a site, I usually subscribe in three places: Google Reader, my main news reader, my Nokia N800 for offline reading, and my laptop for offline reading. They all update regullarly and count as readers, but they are all me.

Anyway, I think you're about ready to go onto my subscriber lists anyway since I enjoy your blog and don't want to miss anything . :-)

This looks like a fun little device. If it were about 75% cheaper and had Pidgin/Linux support, I would probably be ordering it!

Re: TechCrunch planning $200 web tablet - Archives PCLaunches.com

jawee — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 18:55:50 -0000

My Nokia N800 works for this purpose well enough, and I only paid $20 more. But full Firefox would be nice just for the extensions. All I have on my N800 is Gresemonkey and Adblock.

The Centrino link (to Wikipedia) in the third paragraph is messed up.

Re: MobileBeat 2008: Nielsen data on mobile usage

jawee — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 16:55:30 -0000

I would guess that a lot of the non-users of mobile web are on company phones. Both of my parents' phones (different companies and providers) had wireless Internet access and they didn't notice it for months.

For me personally, the closest I get to mobile web is my Nokia N800.

Re: Disqus Up And Running, My Thoughts

jawee — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 13:49:23 -0000

I hope it works well for you. I don't have it installed on my own blog (I don't have control over that) but I really like being able to use it on sites that do. What I dislike is bloggers who do not capitilize the word "I". ;)

For some reason, this blog post came up blank except for the title in Google Reader. Any idea why?

Re: Declaring Your Social Media Independence

jawee — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 09:59:14 -0000

Okay. I just view any e-mail as addicting, not just any particular e-mail system. It just sounded out of place to me.

Re: Declaring Your Social Media Independence

jawee — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 09:38:57 -0000

Why are you saying G-Mail is a social media service? Or are you simply using G-Mail as an example of people's addiction to e-mail?

Re: How to install Debian with OpenOffice, Firefox 3, and more on your Nokia N810 easy

jawee — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 11:26:14 -0000

I don't have any problem with you asking for image credit, but asking for your linkback to be made a certain way is a bit over the top. Having a variation of names linking to you can only help you to be found on search engines easier anyway.

It has been removed from Softpedia, where I originally saw it too: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Microsoft-Announ...

I wonder what Microsoft's deal is with this...

Re: Why Disqus will be huge

jawee — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 21:43:13 -0000

I know the reasoning is lame, but I like Disqus because my comments will show up on my FriendFeed. A few discussions have started from blog comments I have made, so it is nice to have it. There are a lot of other blog comments I would like to see in my FriendFeed but there is no good way to do that (that I know of anyway).

Re: New Look | My Philly Network

The theme looks okay. It feels more like a blog now than it did before, which can be a good or a bad thing depending on your intent. While I do like the theme, this and similar ones (Mac style) are used so often that I have grown tired of them.

Out of curiousity, why do you say this is a "Mac/Linux look"? Are you referring to KDE?

Re: Tidy Up With Cleaner FriendFeed

jawee — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 20:32:51 -0000

It looks very nice. It seems like it would do a bit better on my Nokia N800. I guess I'll go ahead and install Greasemonkey on it so I can give it a try. I hope it works.

Re: Posty: All-in-one AIR App for Twitter, Jaiku, Pownce, Tumblr and Friendfeed

jawee — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 08:31:09 -0000

I really hope that people using this with FriendFeed will be smart enough to only have one service go to their FriendFeed. Otherwise, there is going to be a lot more duplicate content.

I already try to delete any entries that are redudant, such as when I Stumble something that I like on Google Reader. Some users don't, but it's not a big deal. A lot of content is repeated. No big deal, I can ignore it. But if enough people use this, then there will be too much disorder.

Re: iPhone App Store first impression: Sublime beyond belief

jawee — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 10:05:03 -0000

I'm on my N800 right now. Programs I use include Gnumeric, Pidgin, XChat, and Canola. Programs that are full programs in their own right.

Re: iPhone App Store first impression: Sublime beyond belief

jawee — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 08:09:27 -0000

I still think that there is a better selection of (useful) software for the Nokia N8x0. The N800 has mostly full programs where these are just small utilities.
