Anyone who cares has heared that IE8 beta 1 has just been released, with quite a bit of documentation.
Mark “Tarquin” Wilton-Jones offers a pretty good overview of the changes. Many are good, and I’m especially happy with the Acid2 support and the decision to make the IE8 rendering mode the default. It is also important to note that there is still “much more” expected in beta 2.
I am happy to announce the release of my second Opera widget: eduMap!
This 100% SVG-based widget lets you learn the location of countries, states and capitals around the world. It currently doesn’t work in Opera 9.5 for some reason (weird, since that’s where I tested it on most!), but I hope to resolve that shortly Fixed in latest versions.
I became a (very proud) father last week of a beautiful baby boy, which is why I’ve been rather quiet here lately. 🙂 Also, while that happened, I was rewarded an Opera goody bag for my Arkanoid widget. Thank you Opera!
More bloggage to come eventually, but don’t know yet as to when.
