Open Discussion Day

Filed under: News — Piotr P. Karwasz @ 12:55 pm

Aujourd’hui c’est le Open Discussion Day. Pendant 24 heures je boycotte les réseaux de messagerie instantanée proprietaires, tels que Yahoo! Messenger et MSN Messenger.

Vous pouvez me joindre sur Jabber à l’adresse piotr.karwasz@jabber.org. Ploum explique dans un billet bilangue, comment utiliser le protocole Jabber.

Today is the Open Discussion Day, you won’t be able to join me on any proprietary instant messenger. You can however use my Jabber address piotr.karwasz@jabber.org as explained by Ploum (or wait until tomorrow, when I’ll regretfully will start using Yahoo! Messenger and MSN Messenger again).

And by the way, happy birthday to Darco.

Explorer Destroyer

Filed under: Software — 43things @ 7:30 pm

Last month come up with 2 pleasant surprises:

  • As a consequence of the first point I am seriously considering using the scripts of Explorer Destroyer to achieve the goal of less than 25% of IE users on my site.

The script is still a little bit too intrusive and I don’t want in any way make the Web surfing unpleasant for those users who freely chose to use IE: they have as much right to use IE as I have to use Firefox. However I would like to “rescue” those newbies that doesn’t know that there are other explorers beyond IE and I really don’t like to twitch my pages in order to work around IE’s bugs.

See more progress on: witness the end of IE
