Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

Yes, Steve Yegge really did port the Rails framework into Javascript. Thats not just rumors. Watch out guys, the new big thing is coming.

Should I spend my time to re-learn Javascript instead of .. ummm… Silverlight ?

For one looking for a programming article here, you might better subscribe to my Shared Items RSS feed. It contains far more programming article than my blog feed. Actually I didn’t write any programming related stuff yet in this blog. Maybe later, or never :D

safari 3 + yahoo messenger for mac == bug

Tuesday, June 19th, 2007

After installing Safari 3 (beta) on my Macbook, I found a strange behavior with the Yahoo Messenger for Mac (beta version too).

When I have a long conversation in the Yahoo Messenger, the message area used to be scrolled down automatically to make the latest message visible. This is a very natural behavior, not a special, so common, and it works.

Then suddenly its change! The message is no longer scrolled down but scrolled UP automatically each time a message arrives or someone in the other side typing a message. I have to manually scroll down? What the hell apple engineers do in their usability labs? It’s so annoying, you have to try it yourself to understand how unreasonable this new behavior is.

At first I don’t have any clue about what happen with my Yahoo Messenger. I spend a couple of minute looking and tweaking the Yahoo Messenger configuration until I realized that I had just installing Safari 3 (beta). Damn Safari. It’s buggy on Windows, buggy on Mac too. Maybe it’s not from Safari itself, but from the new version of WebKit it carried on. I don’t know, not sure. I should report this to apple, but I already uninstall the Safari 3, anyway.
