Greece police chief resigns, accepts new position
Greece, N.Y. -- Four years after he was sworn in to lead the troubled Greece Police Department, Chief Todd Baxter is leaving to take a new job.
Baxter will be executive director of the Veterans Outreach Center, a place close to his heart. The former Army master sergeant will run the agency that serves the needs of vets in the Rochester area beginning April 2.
As chief in Greece, Baxter worked to restore trust in the department riddled with corruption and controversy for decades.
He made sweeping changes in areas like internal affairs and evidence collection. He also built the department back up, hiring several officers.
He said his proudest accomplishment was earning the trust of his officers and the community. Just a month into the job, he was faced with solving a triple homicide at the Holyoke Apartments. He reassured residents there and people in the town they were safe and that it wasnt a random crime. It was later tied to Jamaican drug activity.
Chief Baxter will be greatly missed," wrote Greece Town Supervisor Bill Reilich in a statement. "He will certainly leave the department much better than he found it. Since 2010, both through attrition and retirement, over one-third of the officers are new to the Greece Police Department ranks trained and mentored by Chief Baxter. I wish Chief Baxter great success as he leaves the ranks of law enforcement and explores his passion for our veterans.
Before becoming chief in Greece, Baxter was a 22-year veteran of the Rochester Police Department.

Detroit Cargo's Davison Frame Bag
Proud residents of Detroit, MI, Marc Bay and Raj Jajoo, the founders of Detroit Cargo, met in the motorcycle business. Together, they felt that starting a leather goods company that utilized the "skill and resilience of the workers of Detroit" was important in making long-lasting, high-quality goods. Bay and Jajoo were eager to stray from the insatiable consumerism they had observed in their previous product development positions and wanted to create leather goods that had a "soul," bags that will last through a lifetime of cycling.
Named after the Detroit's Davison highway, which connects east to west, the Davison Frame Bag was the newest addition to Detroit Cargo's inventory in the fall of 2013. Designed to hold items that don't quite fit in a rider's pockets, the Davison Frame Bag is a compact, two-pin closure bag that can be fitted to the back of saddle, on your handlebars, along the top tube, or used as a shoulder bag with the detachable shoulder strap. This beautifully handmade bag comes in three different colors and is designed to retain its shape for a lifetime.
For those after a buckle closure bag, Detroit Cargo's Jefferson Handlebar Bag fits onto a bike's handlebars and is held together with dull antique finished hardware. Easily detached to bring with you once off your bike, this bag offers an easy way to store keys, phone or tools in a stylish, ethically made bag.

Current Issue
Report sheds light on graduation rates for English learners
Researchers from the University of Chicago Consortium on School Research found that the district's Freshman On-Track Indicator is a valid predictor of graduation rates for English language learners.
The report, released today, is the first to evaluate whether tallying course failures and grades can predict graduation rates for ELLs, both Latino and non-Latinos. It's significant because ELLs now make up almost one-third of CPS enrollment.
Previous research on the Freshman On-Track Indicator was for native English-speaking students.
Researchers also found that learning English is critical. Even among Latino students who were on-track as freshmen, those who didn't master English by the time they got to high school were less likely to graduate. That finding was true for both new ELLs and those who had been in CPS since elementary school.
Students who were proficient in English before 6th grade had the best freshman year course performance and graduation rates of any Latinos, followed by those who were never in bilingual education and by students who become proficient in English between 6th and 8th grade.
Those least likely to graduate were Latino students who are "long-term English language learners," in bilingual education since the early grades. These students had the worst performance in courses and poor attendance, an issue reported on in the Winter 2012 issue of Catalyst In Depth.
The report followed students from their freshman year in 2004 through 2009.
Navigating school choice
Julia Gwynne, senior research analyst for the Consortium, says the most surprising finding was that "new English language learners, at least among Hispanic students, did as well in their classes as any other groups we looked at," due to their strong study habits and good attendance.
But even those students who were on track to graduate, though they had a better chance of graduating than those who were not, ended up with much lower graduation rates than expected, given their strong start. Those students often started high school at older ages than their peers, expected to leave school at an earlier age, and were stuck in academically weak schools.
Many long-term Latino ELLS also end up in low-achieving high schools, hurting their chance at graduation. A disproportionate number of these students are young men in special education.
"It appears that some students are better at navigating the system of high school choice than others," Gwynne says. "New English language learners most likely wouldn't have been there in 7th grade, and long-term English language learners most likely wouldn't have qualified [for selective-enrollment schools]."
These groups of students also are less likely to attend good neighborhood high schools, Gwynne says, which means they may benefit if middle school counselors provided extra help.
"Particularly for students who haven't been in CPS for a long time, haven't been in this country for a long time, haven't been proficient in English – counselors can play a role in helping them navigate a system that may not be familiar," she notes.

Dual Langauge Schools
CPS is known for not doing right thing for ELL learners. Do what is best for the learners, have one way and two way dual language programs done Right!
Evidence supports LEA's work
Latino Education Alliance (LEA) an education partnering nonprofit which operated at Benito Juarez Community Academy for 10 years (2001-2011) and used the its own precursor to the Freshman On-track indicator with its predominately Latino student participants whom varied in English proficiency found these same results but did not have the band width to do the data analysis. At the time, the Consortium did not focus on the study of Latino students or their diverse profiles and their educational needs or performance. I am glad to see there is a change. A growing percentage of Latino students of all types cannot be ignored if strives are to be made to improve CPS, Illinois and US educational outcomes.

Resources for Black-Owned Business Success
American Express OPEN Forum
American Express (AXP) is trying to be a major resource for small business owners through its online community, OPEN Forum. The financial services company has particularly looked to be the expert resource when it comes to small-business government contracting.
A recent survey commissioned by the company on government contracting found that it took active African-American business owners 1.7 years to win their first federal contract, compared to the 1.3 years it took for the average small business contractors, even though the group is, on average, submitting more bids than small business contractors overall.
The effort is paying off, though. While small business contractors saw their overall success rate in prime contracting decline by 8% for the two-year period between 2008 and 2010, as compared to the 2007 to 2009 period, African American contractors' success rate in prime contracting remained stable, the March survey found.Jennefer Witter, owner of The Boreland Group, a public relations firm, praised her recent experience with learning more about government contracting through Amex OPEN. She was recently certified as a minority and women-owned businesses to increase her chances of winning government contracts. Once she was certified, Witter says she attended a free seminar sponsored by Amex where she obtained "a huge amount of information on bettering my chances in gaining federal contracts as a woman and minority owned business." She says she learned about the Amex group on LinkedIn. -- Written by Laurie Kulikowski in New York. To contact Laurie Kulikowski, send an email to: email@example.com.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I was looking for a high quality portable radio to use locally and something with SW for when I travel to remote places abroad (though I'm very new to SW). All sources pointed to this radio and I am not disappointed. I got it from Hypeaudio and despite their mixed reviews, I received it 48 hours after ordering it and didn't pay shipping. I've read that universal-radio.com has an appropriate ac adapter.

My good mate Martin has been a busy boy and has been doing some updated Component Architecture posters. I'm a big fan of these as a way to get a good conceptual overview of a given technology. There are a number of new posters available right now that you can download that cover all aspects of Hyper-V in Windows Server 2012 R2. Check them out. Here is the link and what's included.
And if you have a Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 tablet make sure you download the excellent Server Posterpedia app which has all the current and past posters that have been created. Right now it doesn't seem to include these current posters but I'm sure it will soon.
These are great! Thanks!

Judge Entz continued the punishment hearing until June 1. If Davis leads prosecutors to $4 million they believe he pocketed in the scheme, Entz said he would take that into consideration in the sentencing. Investigators say Davis may have stashed the funds in overseas accounts.
"He might give them some of it," says Bonds skeptically, "but he won't give them all of it."
On the flight to Dallas for the hearing, Poe and Bonds tell me that in the more than two decades since the Wanstrath murders, rarely does a day go by that they don't think about the dead family, especially the slain baby. Poe keeps a picture of Kevin Wanstrath on his desk. Bonds keeps one in his mind.
"Nothing ever affected me as much as seeing that baby dead in that crib with all those stuffed animals," Bonds says solemnly.
A few minutes later I remind Bonds that the investigator had asked me to tell his old nemesis hello for him. I had done just that when I surprised Davis in Dallas. Bonds laughs.
"And now I get to tell him good-bye," says Bonds, grinning at the thought. A good-bye, though, doesn't mean closure.
"The guy is a natural-born criminal, and he will never pay his debt unless he dies in prison," says the detective. "[Testifying] gives me some satisfaction. But I don't think I'll have closure until one of us dies."

Before I even consider having a relationship with someone, I always ask them if they have ever been unfaithful and how they feel about the subject in general.
I respect a person more if they're open and honest about their indiscretion.

Our team went to Comikaze 2013 this weekend and sat in a screening of Rock Jocks (2012). We wanted to give you our thoughts on the movie so we whipped up this podcast just two hours after watching the film. WARNING THERE ARE SPOILERS – but you'll still probably want to watch the movie. Enjoy!
This week we bring you a new Podcast series called T*2, where two mountain GNDs talk about things related to geekery/nerdom/mountain-life and animals. Enjoy!

Well we've spent a week mulling over the Sony even on the 20th where they announced the Playstation 4 and we're here to give you our thoughts on it from it's lineup potential to what it might mean for the competition.

I am participating in the Moving Day NC Triangle walk, benefiting the National Parkinson Foundation on November 1st, 2014.
As many of you know, my husband, Jerry was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease quite awhile ago... and the truths we all have learned are (1) Jerry is one tough cookie, he has taken this as part of his life, to be dealt with, not to be given up on, and 2) science, skilled doctors and innovative research are big heroes in this story & without them, our lives, and especially Jerry's would be much, much different.
Jerry is always the first to volunteer [in this case, for studies on medicines for PD or, last year, a new brain mapping-MRI being researched at U. of Minnesota where we traveled to have the new study completed, and last May, Deep Brain Stimulation surgery]. He is also the first to crack a joke... to find the light in a dark tunnel [so, the DBS surgery has been a gold mine for him! Jokes about robots, my control of the remote, and shaved heads are plentiful in the Fischer household now.]
My family and I decided to follow in his footsteps and do what we can and participate in the National Parkinson's Moving Day NC Triangle walk event on Saturday, November 1st, 2014. The Walk will be a celebration of movement, with a special Movement Pavilion featuring yoga, dance and much more [Photos of Julia, William & Baby Brendan are promised]. We're hoping that the whole Fischer crew can come from our respective homes - New Orleans, Northern/Mid/Southern Virginia, & NYC - to participate.
And unlike many other walks there's no ridiculous fundraising goal --- the goal is to do whatever you can for the cause. It will be a fun-filled, family-friendly event for all ages and abilities and will help raise money for the National Parkinson Foundation, whose mission is to improve the quality of care for people with Parkinson's disease through research, education and outreach.
To give, you can visit my pagehttp://www3.parkinson.org/site/TR/MovingDayEvent/NationalParkinsonFoundationHQ?px=1309159&pg=personal&fr_id=1750 and then click the Donate tab on the right. If your company matches, please contact me -- I'll make sure this happens. The website is a little "wonky" (to quote our team captain, Laura) so let me know if you have any problems.
If you can't afford to give $, don't fret. You can join our team if you want to come to Cary, NC on November 1. You can also send a good joke, which we will post on the blog – Jerry loves jokes and laughter is the best medicine, after all. Like I said, we chose this event specifically for its cool vibe and non-threatening fundraising expectations.
Please pass this along to other friends and family! Thank you so much for all of your support - financial and emotional - and for reading this long email!
Love, "Sue" (Susan Fischer)
Why Get Involved
The National Parkinson Foundation (NPF) continues to bring help and hope to the estimated one million people in the United States, four to six million worldwide, who are living with Parkinson's disease. NPF is the only organization with a singular focus on improving the quality of care in Parkinson's disease. NPF programs reach more than one million people a year through its network of 39 chapters, 43 Centers of Excellence and 900 support groups. Since 1982, NPF has funded more than $180 million in care, research and support services.
Thank you for helping me reach my fundraising goal to support the vital work of the National Parkinson Foundation.

Song Without An End
by Julia Sneden
"This is the song that never ends;
It just goes on and on, my friends.
Some people started singing it, not knowing what it was,
And they'll continue singing it forever, just because
This is the song that never ends
It just goes on and on, my …
… etc. ad infinitum, ad nauseam, and ad, if you will, insanity. As in Over and Over and Over.
According to Wikipedia, we may thank composer/writer Norman Martin for this little but endless ditty. Having heard it through several kindergarten generations of delighted children, I can testify that it qualifies as the earworm from hell.
There are many things in our lives that do not end, worthy things like sunrises and sunsets that operate quite independently from our witness, although no doubt there is an astronomer somewhere who will point out that the sun will one day grow dim or maybe explode, in which case sunrises and sunsets will cease to happen, although no one will be around to witness, let alone mourn them.
Words like "forever" are relative. It means one thing to that astronomer, and quite another to someone enduring a painful root canal. Speaking in the context of human life, "forever" may constitute just about any time span, as in: "Oh, this old dress? I've had it forever!"
But for most of us, forever means simply something that endures throughout one's life, or maybe throughout a few generations. Consider: "my family has loved dogs forever," or "My grandmother says that at least one child in this family has always had a dimple."
The long line of humanity stretches back to what feels like forever, although the fossil record would deny it. Certainly we look at the patterns of human life and identify instincts and reactions that seem to have been around forever. Babies are born; children grow up; adults do their best to protect their young, until eventually the young can take care of themselves; and often, the former protectees wind up protecting their weakening elders. The round goes on, yes, for what we call forever.
Someone once said that parenthood, if you do it right, is a self-destructing chore. The point is that kids grow up and seize the reins of their own lives, and launch themselves into the adult world. Some parents find this hard to accept. Some are thrilled to be let off the hook. Most, I suspect, find a kind of balance between the two extremes, feeling pride and delight in the kids' independence, joy in the anticipation of grandchildren, and – dare I say it? – relief that they have met the requirements of child-rearing, coupled with a thrill of freedom from it.

Very nice. But tastes nothing like gingerbread. Is a nice alternative biscuit.

Since I used to post updates of the web browsers I used: I have switched to Waterfox, replacing Firefox.
Since the latest Flash updates a few weeks back, Firefox has been crashing twice a day. Other weird things have happened, too, like the save file dialogue box failing to appear after several hours' use, or the mouse pointer flickering like crazy.
I also haven't had Waterfox change pages on me automatically, a bug that has been with Firefox for years but remains unsolved.
Firefox for Windows is not designed for 64-bit machines, but Waterfox is. Since changing browsers, I have had a crash-free existence.
It's not the first time I downloaded Waterfox but abandoned it last time. I can't remember the exact reasons but it would have been either losing some of my settings, finding that its speed was worse than the 32-bit version, or its high memory usage.
The last of those three still holds trueŌĆöWaterfox will eat through over a gig of RAMŌĆöbut everything from Firefox comes across perfectly and it is slightly faster.
Sadly, I have had to remain on Firefox for my 32-bit laptop running Windows Vista, where it has been crashing regularly since the last Flash update.
I'm still on Firefox on Ubuntu and Mac OS X, but it looks like there is some major issue with Firefox and Flash when it comes to Windows. This is not the first time, either, but it is enough to have me stay on Waterfox for the foreseeable future.

Testing the browsers: which has the best typography?23.02.2012
Con Carlyon inspired this post today. He's kept an eye on the best browser and forwarded me a test from TechCrunch where Firefox, Chrome, IE9 and Opera 11 are pitted against one another. The victors are Firefox and Chrome.
My needs are quite different from most people. For starters, the number-one criterion for me on any browser is decent typography. Firefox has been, at least since v. 3, the most typographically aware browser, picking up the correct typefaces from stylesheets, and providing access to all installed fonts on a system through its menu.
I had done these tests before, but I thought it was about time I revisited the main four browsers and their typographic capability. These were all done on the same machine, and the full screen shots are available if anyone wants to see them. Firefox and IE9 were already on my system but were checked to be current and up to date. Chrome and Opera were downloaded today (February 23, 2012).
This is not a test about Java or overall speed, just typography. But I would have to give the speed crown to ChromeŌĆöbearing in mind that my Firefox is full of extensions and add-ons.
The Lucire home page
Not the latest HTML, but there is a fairly standard stylesheet. Here is how the four browsers performed.
Firefox 10.0.2
I am used to this, so I don't see anything unusual. Firefox is my browser of choice (though I have since tried Waterfox 64-bit, and noticed no speed difference). It picks up the web font (Fiduci, in the headline), kerns (see We in Week) and the text font, Dante, is installed on this machine. It's the first type family specified in the stylesheet.
Kerning: 1. Font fidelity: 1.
Not much difference on the left-hand side. However, Chrome fails to pick up Dante, even though it's installed. It's opted for Monotype Garamond for the body text. It's the eighth typeface family specified in the stylesheetŌĆöan unusual choice. At least two of the other typeface families preceding Garamond are installed on this machine.
Kerning: 1. Font fidelity: 0.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 9
Awful. IE9ŌĆÖs bugs have already been documented on this blog, and it is very limited on which fonts it allows you to access in its menu (TTFs only). There is no kerning, and Monotype Garamond, again, has been chosen as the text font. There were some even less attractive choices on the home page that I didn't take a screen shot of.
Kerning: 0. Font fidelity: 0.
Opera 11.63
Interestingly, Fiduci is picked up for the headlines and Dante for the text. But a bug that Firefox had back in v. 2 in 2006, and which I filed with the makers of Opera in 2010, remains present. Opera fails to display characters above ASCII 128 properly, and when it hits a ligature, it will change the following characters to a different typeface, in this case, Times. No kerning, either.
Kerning: 0. Font fidelity: 0┬Ę5.
A Lucire news page
Much the same comments apply from the above, but it gave me confirmation of each browser's issues.
Firefox 10.0.2
The first choices in each CSS spec are picked up.
Instead of the Lucire typeface in the central column, Chrome specifies Verdana, the sixth typeface family for the spec.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 9
Same as Chrome, except without the kerning.
Opera 11.63
Correct typefaces, but for the changing fonts in the middle of the line.
If I really didn't care about typeŌĆöand most people don'tŌĆöI would have a hard time choosing between Chrome and Firefox. On this test alone, Chrome was the fastestŌĆöbut I suspect a Firefox without add-ons would be comparable. But once you factor in type, Chrome makes some very odd decisions, as does IE9, about which fonts it chooses from the installed base. It doesn't, consistently, pick the first oneŌĆöand previous versions did.
Interestingly, Chrome now displays Facebook in Verdana. When I first encountered it, it displayed Facebook in our in-house Lucire 1, which we had programmed to substitute for Arial on our older machines.
So somewhere along the line, someone changed the way Chrome picked fonts, but having something installed is no longer a guarantee it will even show up on Google's browser. That can't be good for corporate environments where companies have paid a site- or company-wide licence to have the correct fonts installed. But I'm glad Chrome now uses the kerning pair data in fonts, and that's made a positive difference to legibility.
IE9 is simply terrible. It made the same wrong calls as Chrome, but, to make things worse, it won't even use the kerning data. Of the four tested, it comes dead last.
Opera is not far ahead, mind, at least based on the arbitrary point scale I assigned above. While it picks up the correct typefaces, some might think its irritating habit of changing fonts mid-line to be more annoying. It could well be, as this does nothing for reading. Imagine every quotation mark and every word with a ligature changingŌĆöfor no apparent reason. As mentioned, this bug was in Firefox in 2006, and Opera knows about it, but evidently Opera users are not displeased with the glitch and it remains unfixed.
Typographically, Firefox 10.0.2 is the victorŌĆöand that's no surprise. When I discovered bugs in Firefox 4, I was met with professional developers on the forums who actually understood type and the niceties behind the OpenType spec. Those are details some professional typeface designers don't know. It looks I won't be changing browsers any time soon.
Using Super Start on Firefox, after I got pop-ups while using Speed Dial20.12.2011
PS.: I got two pop-ups today (December 21) of the same nature, this time while using Facebook. I think we can rule out Speed Dial as the reason.ŌĆöJY
For the Firefox boffins out there, I began using Super Start, after having trialled Speed Dial and Fast Dial over the past year or so.
These replicate what Opera users are used to with their Speed Dial, and what Google Toolbar users have with their menus. Your most accessed websites are shown to you in thumbnail format when you open a new tab.
Super Start is probably the best of them all so far. It's compact, doesn't seem to drain the resources, and you can program more than the eight that it comes with (I presently have 12).
I only began seeking an alternative to Speed Dial because OpenX ad pop-ups began appearing. I don't know what was causing them, but since I work with only a small handful of sites, it seemed odd that these were appearing each time I opened a new tab, usually to begin searching with Duck Duck Go. I was reasonably sure they were not coming with the search engine, Facebook or our own company sites. They were quite hard to get rid of, with a script that had a new window open up if you closed the first.
I have no proof that these were connected to Speed Dial, and they could have come from any website that I visited. Maybe there was a delay from another website (not uncommon). However, it's equally odd that they have ceased to appear after I deleted Speed Dial and replaced it with Super Start. To my knowledge, Speed Dial sent me no notification of a recent update that might have brought with it these pop-ups. At best, Speed Dial was the victim of unfortunate timing.
Again, I'm blogging this in case other computer users have had the same issue creep up recently. Maybe we can narrow down the cause of these sudden pop-ups.
Ad networks: you might have asked them not to track you, but they do17.07.2011
Looks like Google isnŌĆÖt the only guilty party when it comes to advertising cookies.
Andrew Carr-Smith sent me this link from Stanford UniversityŌĆÖs Center for Internet and Society (CIS), which has been tracking how the advertising networks track us.
This is slightly different from my earlier situation, which did not involve the 'Do Not Track' programme that one can find in Firefox 5. Mine was strictly about the opting out of behavioural targeting using Google's own opt-out system, and that of the Network Advertising Initiative. Still, the implications for privacy remain interesting.
You might think you've asked them not to track you, but they do:
Half of the NAI members we tested did not remove their tracking cookies after opting out.
NAI member companies pledge only to allow opting out of behavioral ad targeting, not tracking. Of the 64 companies we studied, 32 left tracking cookies in place after opting out.
At least eight NAI members promise to stop tracking after opting out, but nonetheless leave tracking cookies in place.
According to the Stanford study, only two ad networks 'are taking overt steps to respect Do Not Track': Media6Degrees and BlueKai. Interestingly, Google was one of networks that 'go beyond their privacy policies and remove their tracking cookies.'
I have to wonder whether it was because it got busted with its lies about opting out.
The ad networks have provided responses at the bottom of the page, mostly positive.
Chromium remains buggy; and I get charged twice for parking (thrice if you count my rates)18.03.2011
I am happy to say that Firefox 4 Release Candidate 1 is working smoothly with no crashes to date. It reminds me of, well, Firefox 3┬Ę0, before Mozilla started doing weird things to it and we had the multiple-crashing 3┬Ę5 and 3┬Ę6. Let's hope this situation lasts.
Meanwhile, the bugs I reported to the Chromium people in October and November 2010 have finally received responses. It's too long compared with Mozilla. I told the chap that I had given up on Chrome, but I downloaded it today just to see where things were at.
Based on the latest Chromium, the incomplete font menu bug has, indeed, been fixed, though various font-changing ones still appear present. There are still font-linking and character-set issues. (The images below have had their colour depth reduced for faster loading.)
Meanwhile, after I reported spam faxes (a breach of the Telecommunications Act) to Telstra Clear, I was surprised to learn that my case was never examined. I had to open a new ticket with new faxes today. The excuse was the backlog of work post-Christchurch earthquake and, in the circumstances, I had to accept that.
One was for a law firm, as far as I could make out. I wouldn't hire a lawyer who breaches the Telecommunications Act. They shot themselves in the foot with that one.
My main reason for calling, however, was the Text-a-Park service that the WCC offers. I hate cellphones, but had brought one with me on one of those rare occasions, and decided to give the service a go. I fed in the code, dialled 7275, and was told by the meter that the transaction had failed. No parking ticket was generated.
Just as well. I prefer to use a credit card anyway, and fed that in. I got my ticket and my credit card was charged.
Problem: as I walked away from my car, I received an SMS saying (sic), 'Thanks for using TXT-a-Park. Your transaction for $6.50 has been accepted.' I have no idea how one gadget says it's failed and another says it's succeeded, and my quantum physics isn't good enough to figure out into which alternative universe this supposedly successfully printed ticket went to.
Of course, the charge appeared on my Telstra Clear bill today.
There's a reason that jokers like me don't use cellphones. Because, each time we do, they bite us on the bum. Though a buttcheek bite is better than testicular cancer.
I'd urge folks to check their billsŌĆöif you haven't received a ticket from a Wellington parking meter, and you still got charged for it, then give the telco a call.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 9: the worst browser on the scene15.03.2011
Microsoft has released its Internet Explorer 9 to much fanfare at SXSW. I'm really not sure what the fuss is, because it appears, as usual, the browser hasn't been tested.
Here it is on my Asus laptop, running Vista.
That's apparently my company's home page. Looks slightly different to how Firefox, Chrome and Opera display it:
I might dislike Chrome but at least that browser shows something other than pitch black with a few tiny details.
Let's go to the most well known website in the world. Surely IE9 can display that and that its beta testers must have been to Google. Unless Google is banned at Microsoft and everyone uses Bing. Here's what Google's home page looks like:
I knew Microsoft was aiming for a minimalist look, but isn't that taking it a bit far?
You won't see it on the screen shot above but there is a blinking cursor. You can begin typing, but nothing echoes on the screen. On pressing ŌĆśEnterŌĆÖ, you do get a search page, and, lo and behold, it resembles the usual Google results' pageŌĆökind of.
What if I scroll down?
Conclusion, based on one machine that can run every other browser: Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 is a load of cobblers. I managed to crash it twice on the first two web pages I visited, within the first two minutes. The rest, you see above. I couldn't be arsed doing more with it.
Mr Gates, if you want to come back to me when your team has actually tested your browser, I will be happy to give it another shot.
Hopefully the last Firefox 3 blog post05.03.2011
Since discovering that Firefox 4 Beta 13 is stable, I have spent less time with Firefox 3┬Ę6, the buggiest, most oft-crashing program I have ever used in 30 years of computing.
But I used it today enough times to net myself five crashes, though this is above average. The 'unmark purple' bug that plagued me for so long has disappeared, which indicates it was an error with an extension (Flash, maybe?), and the average of four per day has decreased to two to three (on the days I use Firefox 3┬Ę6 exclusively).
However, since the ŌĆÖquake, I have still netted a number of errors, and apart from one, there is no pattern to them. Here are the last 13 on this machine (I've used it a bit more on my laptop, which doesn't have 4 Beta):
1 ├Ś [@ nsTArray
1 ├Ś [@ InterlockedCompareExchange ]
1 ├Ś [@ PR_AtomicDecrement | nsSupportsCStringImpl::Release() ]
1 ├Ś [@ hang | mozilla::plugins::PPluginScriptableObjectParent::CallHasProperty(mozilla::plugins::PPluginIdentifierParent*, bool*) ]
1 ├Ś [@ hang | ntdll.dll@0xe514 ]
1 ├Ś [@ nsRuleNode::WalkRuleTree(nsStyleStructID, nsStyleContext*, nsRuleData*, nsCSSStruct*) ]
1 ├Ś [@ WrappedNativeProtoMarker ]
1 ├Ś [@ nsExpirationTracker
I have no idea what any of this means, but to the layman it suggests the gremlins are everywhere in the program. (The defence by Firefox proponents in claiming that post-3┬Ę5 versions are the most stable releases falls on deaf ears here: 3┬Ę0 and 3┬Ę6┬Ę10 crashed far less often.)
I'll sure be glad when Firefox 4 rolls out, and I have been really impressed by the bug-fighting and beta-testing programmers. They have actually listened to what I have to say and confirmed that most of the bugs I have reported existed. It's already a darned sight better than Chrome and its nearly-every-session ŌĆśAw, snapŌĆÖ pages, of which no screen shot can be taken.
But based on the above crashes, there is, of course, no mystery on why Chrome's market share has increased and Firefox's has decreased. Chrome crashes, but not as oftenŌĆöand most won't care about its typographic problems or the lack of support. Mozilla needs to get 4 out ASAP: the more 3 crashesŌĆöand judging by the comments in Bugzilla, the rate of crashing remains remarkably highŌĆöthe more likely users will hop over to the competition.
Firefox 4 Beta 13 passes my tests24.02.2011
Firefox 4 Beta 13 works, and I have not found any bugs with it.
I may be wrong, but I believe this is the last beta before release.
What's amazing is that the bugs I have been complaining about for a long time have each been fixed. In other words, the reporting system works.
While for many versions, most of the Beta 4 text was unreadable, eventually bug reports to both Mozilla Support and Bugzilla got things on the radar.
That took a bit too long for my liking, and you do have to persist. But once I was "in the system", things got resolved fairly quickly.
One of the Mozilla boffins created a patch that I could use to tell him what fonts I was using, to trouble-shoot the unreadable UI.
When those font issues were fixed, I noticed that there were still some errant numeralsŌĆöa bug that Chrome also has. The difference: at Mozilla, it got fixed. Someone (Jonathan Kew) believed me, had at the back of his mind what it was, and wrote code to sort it out.
We all worked it out together, with a layman like me providing screen shots and some public domain fonts on request, and the real experts then doing the hard yards.
The main thing was that I was believed and it was confirmed, on each occasion, that I had a valid complaint.
Unlike a certain other browser from a company which, I must say, did a good job with the Google Person Finder in the wake of the Christchurch earthquake.
I don't deny they do good sometimesŌĆöit's just that they slip up far too often other times.
The Chrome bug reporting and forums are about as useless as those for Blogger.
Features I'm discovering in Beta 13 are really nice, now that I am no longer being distracted by the wrong fonts displaying.
The box in which I am entering this text can be resizedŌĆönot something I could do on Chrome or Firefox 3.
More fonts' kerning pairs are being read (see above left): someone at Mozilla likes typography. Some text-sized pairs look a little tight, but that's a small complaint.
Some alternative characters in OpenType fonts are showing upŌĆöwhether that was intended or not, I don't know. But it seems Firefox 4 is, at least, accessing them.
It's not a memory hog: I estimate the memory usage is on a par with Firefox 3.
The promise of Firefox being reliable seems to have been realized: it took me days to crash Beta 12, and Beta 13 is so far, so good.
The user interface is cleanerŌĆönot Chrome-clean, but pretty good.
The speed seems improved, though I still feel Chrome is quicker. But I'd rather wait the extra hundredth of a second and have the page displayed properly.
Hopefully, once installed on my system, Firefox 4 is going to work a treat. Well done, guys.
If you're going to have speedy R&D, it sure pays to have a system which embraces user experiences, working as much in parallel with your own team as possible.
Type-changing bug identified—not that it matters next to Christchurch22.02.2011
It's quite pathetic to be blogging about something like this on the day of the Christchurch earthquake, but Jonathan Kew, who has kept on the font-changing bug in the Firefox 4 betas after I mentioned it to him, has created a patch that sorts the problem out. Apparently, it applies to old PS1 fonts: Firefox was rejecting the glyph index 31 in these fonts.
Jonathan is a real ally to the type community, and understands the industry's needs very well. We're lucky to have a guy like that involved in browser development. Here's hoping for approval for the patch.
I'll repeat parts of what we wrote on the Lucire site today: ŌĆśNew Zealand Red Cross is accepting donations ŌĆ"
ŌĆśTwitter updates can be found at hashtag #eqnz.
ŌĆśGoogle has a Person Finder for those who are looking for people or wish to report they are OK.ŌĆÖ
The real experts are fixing Firefox 425.01.2011
Good news: there have been more developments with Mozilla as they work on the rather serious bug (the one where you can't read a damn thing) in Firefox 4 Beta.
John Daggett at Mozilla created logging to help identify the problem, and I ran the latest nightly build to get the logs back to him. We've identified the troublesome area. Another expert, Jonathan Kew, today identified what caused the break and has created a patch.
I'm glad this finally got to the attention of the people that matter. Once it did, the fixes are proceeding apace. I have to admit it took a while, and the initial filings of the bug seemed to have been ignored, but once it got into the system after Boris asked me to cc him, the Firefox initi├®s are trying to make the next incarnation of the browser top-notch.
I believe it took reporting it to both Mozilla Support and Bugzilla before it got noticedŌĆöthat's the strategy I'll take in future if there's a bug of this nature.
I also kept the buggy Beta installed, so I could help with troubleshooting.
For once, I'm looking forward to the next Firefox Beta with optimism. It might even be worth holding on to till the final release.

About This Performance
Flamenco and Falla is a natural combination. Although some conservative Spanish critics attacked the composer for what they thought was excessive French influence, Falla dug deep into Spanish musical history and his Andalusian roots for almost all of his music. He also joined the great poet-playwright Federico García Lorca in creating a famous Cante Jondo (deep song) competition, to help preserve authentic flamenco singing.
Come for: Dudamel leads Falla's flamenco-inspired masterpiece El amor brujo in a thrilling, choreographed production featuring the dancers of Siudy Garrido Ballet Flamenco.
And more: Angel Romero, one of the great interpreters of Joaquín Rodrigo's music, plays the composer's most famous piece.

"This was absolutely perfect! I have been trying to perfect my own version for years and now I don't have to! This was delicious! I didn't do individual pies, I made a whole pie and substituted the whole baby onions with diced canned potatoes. Awesome! Thanks for sharing!""
