Safari's cookie bug fixed

Safari's cookie bug fixed 03/19/2003 10:25 PM
Dave Hyatt reports: Maciej fixed the infamous cookie bug last night, so PHP-Nuke sites will now work properly. Quoting Maciej... I have a fix for the infamous PHP-Nuke login bug. It should be in the next release. Here's the short version: the Netscape cookie spec says when a cookie comes from a URL like "http://www.foo.com/user.php" and no path is explicitly specified, then the path should default to "/user.php". However, it actually needs to default to "/", because that's what all real browsers do. Don't you love the web? (from Surfin' Safari)

Window Seat

Window Seat 05/27/2004 11:02 AM
Gregory Dicum's book "Window Seat: Reading the Landscape from the Air" sounds like a brilliant idea:

"Broken down by region, this unusual guide features 70 aerial photographs; a fold-out map of North America showing major flight paths; profiles of each region covering its landforms, waterways, and cities; tips on spotting major sights, such as the Northern Lights, the Grand Canyon, and Disney World; tips on spotting not-so-major sights such as prisons, mines, and Interstates; and straightforward, friendly text on cloud shapes, weather patterns, the continent's history, and more."

Did you know that the patterns of the streets in subdivisions lets you know when they were built? Or that the round ponds all over Florida are sinkholes? With Window Seat at your side, you'll learn these things. Keep it to yourself though--the person sitting next to you doesn't want to hear it. Link (Thanks, Eric!)

A window of opportunity... 11/14/2003 06:23 PM

Oh my god! I've got a while week off. What on earth am I going to do with myself. I mean I've got lots of forms and bills to sort out, and no clean clothes and a flat like a pig-sty and I actually still have some work hanging over my head which I'm going to try and get done tomorrow morning so I don't have to think about it any more (although I have a sneaking suspicion it'll still be with me at the end of the week). I'm also going to Norfolk for my brother's eighteenth birthday (which is so weird and exciting and strange) and four hours after work has ended, I've already got things tumbling out of my head almost uncontrollably. Two site sketches down on paper, plans for redesigns, bits of jottings taking shape, social software things. And I even have this urge to go out and get drunk and maybe go dancing or something. I never feel like that. I wonder where I can find nice fun people to play with...

One thing that I probably won't have time to do is think around the landmark east project which seems to me should be something that those of us with insane creative web-building urges should be able to contribute to. Maybe something using ubiquitous computing, or feeding in contributions to the public and turning into something physical and manifest automatically. Or maybe some kind of collaborative architecture experience - like that font project that was around a few years back, where individuals came to a page and turned one pixel on or off, trying gradually to assemble some kind of glyph. Wouldn't it be awesome if you could create a structure, a landmark, a monument like that? Chunk by chunk, brick by brick, curve by curve...

The first images from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, formerly known as the Space Infrared Telescope Facility, are now visible online. The first observations include a glowing stellar nursery, a swirling, dusty galaxy, a disc of planet-forming debris, and organic material in the distant universe. The images demonstrate the power of the telescope's infrared detectors to capture never before seen cosmic features.

Mac OS X Window Behavior

Mac OS X Window Behavior 03/14/2005 06:09 PM
Jeff Carlson (~990 words)

When Apple thrust Mac OS X upon us, it was quite a change. I remember one colleague remarked that his head was filled with all sorts of Mac OS 9 troubleshooting arcana, nearly all of which would be rendered moot once Mac OS X gained its footing. Some behaviors in the new operating system changed enough that they disrupted the flow of how we'd been using the Mac for years. Subsequently, several utilities appeared to bring back those behaviors (see "Top Mac OS X Utilities: Restoring Mac OS 9 Functionality" in TidBITS-622).
