Mimicking Magazines, with CSS

Anton Andreasson of Standardice has put together “Mimicking Magazines” which is a collection of web styles that mimic those of magazines (the kind that are made up of trees), using CSS. Very nice. Should get better as more is collected. Maybe he should allow user-contributions or put together something like a CSS Zen Garden thing.

Winner of SitePointForums.com CSS contest announced

A while back I wrote on the CSS contest at SitePointForums.com called The Beauty of Style. Well, after some hiccups over the judging, the winner has finally been announced. All credit to zoo (Rick) for handling the contest very nicely despite the many difficulties and speed bumps.

Personally, I liked Zanzibar as well, and would have liked it to win over Deadend Prophecy which I’ve found breaks in IE 5.0 (on Windows). Nevertheless, it’s still a stunning design, and I don’t really give too much of a care for IE 5.0 myself.

Mozilla Backup for Firebird and Thunderbird

Pavel Cvrcek’s Mozilla Backup utility (the 1.1 Beta2 version) now supports backing up and restoring of Firebird and Thunderbird profiles. It was disappointing to find that it worked only for the Mozilla suite when I last tried it. Anyhow, it works absolutely fine and it’s a great tool. Now if only there were a Linux version so I can bring my finely-tuned Firebird profile into my Linux box.
