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!

Re: Windows 7 to play nice with all decoders

StevenHodson — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 14:15:52 -0000

Jake I definitely agree that it would be nice for native OGG support but it is min much the same place that DivX was for years. At this point it really is a niche player in the audio/video format area. Granted it is a superior format - although most of my experience is with audio - than even MP3 but that doesn't guarantee popularity enough to be included as a native format.

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

Jake - Your comment is well taken. In the past, many second party PR indicators on websites, desktop gizmos, etc have been rendered useless by Google datacenter and other changes. The add-on you're pointing to (which I just tried) is working fine. Agree, screen real estate is important. (I made a pact with myself to stop at 2 monitors :)

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.)

Re: Linuxy - LXDE - Lightweight X11 Desktops Environment I...

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

Re: Should all RSS subscribers “count”?

ebrage — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 02:29:54 -0000

Hi Jake - First, huge thanks for the flattering words! :-)

Writing this story definitely made me more aware of the relative meaning/meainglessness of these numbers. The same variation is there of course in terms of analytics -- "uniques," page views, impressions, and so on.

Nonetheless, I'm *immensely* grateful for all who have taken the time to stop by and think enough of the site to plug in its feed into a reader of some sort. I use the feedburner number as some sort of gauge of how many people are doing this... but it's certainly not perfect or exact.

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.

Thanks, i'm sure it will work out fine

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

fpettit — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 09:45:08 -0000

I am simply saying that GMail is an example of a web application that I am
addicted to.

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: Microsoft Arc Mouse comes straight out of sci-fi flick - Archives PCLaunches.com

Seriously, I'd like to know more about it, namely size and number of buttons. Also wonder what the "fits inside the computer" line is about. If it's a 5 button scroll mouse that's full size but still good for travel I might just snag one.

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

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.
