Webkit Acid3 Test–Now 100%
Oct 5th
I’ve previously forgotten to mention that as of September 25, 2008 Webkit now fully passes the Acid3 test. You can read more at a blog post on the Surfin’ Safari Weblog at blog.webkit.org. I’ve included screenshots below demonstrating this ability. To learn more about Webkit read this page, to get updates as to Webkit improvements go to Webkit.org ..
Remember this is a BIG deal because what happens in Webkit will trickle down into Apple’s Safari and Google’s Chrome, eventually.
eBay Auto-bidding Tip
Oct 5th
In the past week I’ve done lots of work with eBay (in an attempt to get a vintage Parker 51). Any what I’ve found is that the other bidders seem to be able to outbid you instantly after clicking “confirm bid”–this is because of auto-bidding. To enable auto-bidding, when outbidding someone type in your maximum you’re willing to pay. This way when you’re outbid, eBay will automatically up your bid $0.25 above the other person’s bid. This will continue until either the auction ends or the item bid goes above your maximum bid.
Consider this to win more auctions.
