Mr.C + web tricks + the Opera browser

(Arn's dad was in Baguio last week so I'm munching away on chocolate flakes pasalubong as I type this entry. Thanks, dad!)

The album Arnold and I designed for Mr. Ryan Cayabyab is out! You can see the entire package here.

I'm currently working on two website projects and I thought I'd take a blog break to share with you some nifty web tricks I ran across during my scripts-hunting sprees:

ï Where has that browser been?
ï Flying clickable GIFs
ï Webpage transitions
ï Script-generators
ï Robot exclusion

This article plus Susan's endorsement has got me all curious about the Opera browser's supposed lightning speed page loading time. I've already downloaded it but am having second thoughts about installing -- a system extension-related crash some months ago has made me wary of freeware. Ahoy, fellow Mac users?

Hi there -

Opera works fine on
my Mac in both
classic and OS X... I
think it's pretty ugly
looking, but it IS very
fast and its standard
compliance is very
good. My main
complaint is that
they're concept of
what is a "pixel" when
it comes to CSS font-
sizing is a bit wonky,
so text tends to look
a bit small...

But, it's not too
shabby. Oh, and the
ads have to go.
Nothing worse than
continuing to flog a
dead horse...
