Here is a link to a mozillazine.org knowledge base article detailing the various about: links supported by FireFox (and Mozilla):

Those cache links are good to know about – they’ll come in handy when debugging. The award for kookiest goes to about:kitchensink. And you know what? The length of that bugzilla thread discussing it does not surprise me one bit.
flex-mx.com points to a recent entry in Mitchell Baker’s blog providing some good news about the Netscape DevEdge material. Apparently AOL has agreeed to grant a license to the Mozilla foundation allowing them to host and maintain the docs. The devedge.netscape.com material was one of my primary JavaScript references before the site went dark back in the fall.
From the update post it seems like the DevMo content will most likely be hosted at http://developer.mozilla.org/. Presumably the links here will start working again.
Excellent.

Kevin Sites is a journalist who has covering the war in Iraq for NBC and CNN (among others?) and blogged about his experiences while doing so. You may recall Kevin as the journalist behind the camera that documented the shooting of a wounded and unarmed Iraqi prisoner by an American soldier in a mosque during the offensive in Fallujah a couple of months prior to the Iraqi elections.
I’ve mentioned Kevin Sites’ blog previously. There really is some amazing stuff in there and the firestorm he became the center of is just a part of it.
From boingboing.
I’m not a big fan of this behaviour in Authorware.
When you close a framework icon any maps or frameworks that are its’ children are also closed. I suspect it pre-dates the Close All Maps (Ctrl+Shift+W) menu option which would have made it useful as far as removing clutter goes. I think these days though clutter is less of an issue, what with the multiple monitors and enormous desktops.
As a compromising kinda guy, I propose a solution of holding down a key when closing the framework. Now as to whether that keypress overrides the current functionality or enables it…
…I think.
The site underwent a fairly painless WordPress update this morning. Version 1.5 (Strayhorn) was officially released this past week and I figured I could take advantage of some of the new features. I broke the comment functionality during the update process so it took a bit of fiddling to get things back in running order. On top of that some kindly (and tenacious) spammer chose this morning to help test out some of the new comment and trackback handling. A bit of junk slipped through in the middle of the update but I’ve cleaned it out. It was actually very easy to do thanks to the new Check past comments against moderation list link. Sweet.
So, Mr. texas-holdem-online-poker-prescription-phentermine dude the beta cycle is over. Thanks for all your efforts in testing the site, your diligence helps to make it the best it can be. We have some modest “appreciation schwag” for you so if you’ll just send along your personal contact information I’ll be sure to get it in the post.
I’ve also tweaked the format of the syndication feeds a little. They should now also contain the full text of posts so you won’t have to browse to the site to read the entire post. As well I’ve limited the item count to the 5 most recent posts to keep bandwidth down for the dialup folks.
If you come across anything that is broken or could be improved drop a coment (or email). Thanks.
