Earlier I was following comments that (eventually) got me stranded at Zimbra. It appears to be a collaboration server with an AJAX (ugh-the name-the-name) frontend. Closer inspection seems to reveal that the product itself is a mix of perl and java. I might be wrong, but the result is pretty impressive as it allows to integrate with existing infrastructure and applications. It runs on a host of platforms, from Red Hat, Mac OS X to (yes) Debian. I noticed that the demo site didn’t like Opera though.
Earlier, I decided to manually upgrade my Firefox to 1.5.0.1, just because it is supposed to support SVG. There’s a host of applications that allow to export images to SVG. OpenOffice is one of them. If you really need a specific SVG editor, you may as well check out Inkscape (available for most platforms, including Windows). Back to Firefox: it does support showing SVGs. It doesn’t actually support animated SVGs. It’s a start, I guess. (Note how Adobe appears to back SVG: quite unlikely since it directly competes with their own Flash format [Adobe bought Macromedia, remember?])
I use either Firefox or Opera to browse around, nowadays. I’m sure, I’ve mentioned this before (I DID!): Opera’s URL autocomplete sucks big time. Listen guys: A TAB should trigger the selection of a URL.
Lastly: I’ve become a baseball expert. I know all acronyms. I know when players should start stealing bases too. I know the difference between a ‘knuckleball’ and a ‘change up’. I think. However, from a mathematical point of view, the best part of baseball is statistics. Hey: if you’re 0.593, you’re pretty good. More math is good.
