Firefox feedback
Over at Ars Technica they report that over at iamthewalr.us they are asking, on behalf of the Firefox, for feedback to help development of the next Mac version. (Is this circular of what?)
Blog update
A quick post about the blog… As you can see, the blog has undergone an update, and there are two major changes.
Update to theSnowSite.com
MMISoftware has just completed another update of theSnowSite.com. The update did not change the ‘look and feel’ of the website, but was an update of the ‘back-end’ database.
New satellite imagery for Google Earth and Maps
Great news for users of PhotoInfoEditor and PhotoGPSEditor, Google has update the satellite imagery data for Google Earth and Google maps.
Update of theSnowSite
A quick post – there has been another update of the theSnowSite posted by MMISoftware. Changes? Well, there is now integration with Google Earth so that kml (Google Earth) files are available for ski and boarding resorts, plus there is a link to Google Maps for getting directions and doing local searches etc.
Digg Alert!
I am a regular reader of Digg (if you don’t know what Digg is go and have a look – in brief, it is a ‘news’ site at which users get to vote on a story or website, the more votes it gets the higher it gets listed – Digg is a great way to track ‘hot news’). Anyway, one thing that is obvious from the Digg site is that if one of your blog posts becomes ‘hot’ it can kill your server.
Version 0.4 of theSnowSite
Version 0.4 of theSnowSite has been released.
New this version? The ‘dynamic’ search is back, and there are a number of ‘under-the-hood’ fixes, most of which are applicable for version 0.5.
The big new change on the site is it now ‘remembers’ how the windows were left on the last visit, that is, which windows were rolled up or down, and where the windows were positioned on the page. In addition, on a users first visit they are greeted with a ‘welcome message’ explaining how to use the site.
As every, the site has been tested on Safari, Camino and Firefox on the Mac and Internet Explorer, Firefox and Netscape on Windows, and works with all of them. And as usual, Internet Explorer gave the most problems!
The theSnowSite domain and website is hosted at UK2.net
Minor update to theSnowSite
MMISoftware has made a minor update to theSnowSite.
The update has addressed some problems with the way the map displayed in Windows Internet Explorer (as usual it displayed OK in all other browser tested, namely: Safari, Firefox and Camino on the Mac, and Firefox and Netscape on Windows).
