Earth Hour

I’m not sure if you remember, but a few years back (2007?) the city of Sydney turned off all non-essential lights for an hour to raise awareness for the need to fight climate change. That “Earth Hour” has now spread around the globe, und, gut, today’s the day.

Earth Hour will take place at 8:30 auf 9:30 pm your local time.

What can I do?

Wieder, in Earth Hour you turn off all non-essential lights and other electronics. That means you shouldn’t go around and turn off all the streetlights you can find (that would lead to mass chaos.) Stattdessen, you should turn off:

Firefox 4 is out

It’s been about a year in coming (it was in beta for a full year), but Firefox 4 ist endlich und kann heruntergeladen werden unter firefox.com. Die Open-Source-Web-Browser die neueste Version ist ein riesiger Schritt nach vorn aus dem 3.6 Version (die alte stabile Version von vor einem Jahr, Welches ist kläglich mittlerweile veraltet.)

Was hat sich geändert

Firefox 4 ungefähr 3 mal schneller Seite in Be-und JavaScript-Performance als 3.6. Dies bedeutet, dass Ihre Lieblings-Web-Anwendungen und Websites sind – machen Sie sich bereit für diese – 3 höher als vorher.

Microsoft helps kill spammers

Gut, not really kill, just bring down. But it makes the title sound nice.

In other news, Microsoft has finally done something right by bringing down Rustock, a botnet that infected millions of computers and caused them to send massive amounts of spam. Rustock was one of the (if not the) biggest spam networks in the world.

Microsoft (and some feds) raided some hosting facilities in the US and took down the servers that instructed infected computers to send spam.

Labyrinth

Wie üblich, I got bored so I wrote a game in JavaScript. It’s a role-playing game called Labyrinth (you can find it hier) which follows a guy who gets lost in a cave. You have to collect sticks to destroy barrels, planks to cross water, keys for colored doors, und.

Here’s what Labyrinth looks like:

I know it’s horribly drawn, but I drew everything myself. I’m such a bad artist that it’s a miracle that the key even looked like a key. And that glowing yellow/orange/red thing is a lantern.

Internet Explorer 9 is out

Well done, Bill, you’ve finally done something right. Internet Explorer 9 is now out and can be downloaded from microsoft.com. Here’s the catch: it only works on Windows Vista and 7.

Let me repeat that:

It only works in Vista and 7. It doesn’t work in XP.

Thoughts on the new browser

For one thing, it’s a lot better than Internet Explorer 8, although that isn’t saying much. To be honest, it’s actually decent; Internet Explorer can now compete with the other popular browsers like Firefox and Chrome.

Here’s what really matters:

JavaScript betriebene Taschenrechner

I was bored (and my calculator was out of batteries), so I figured I’d take a crack at developing a web-based calculator. (Sie können ihn unter finden hathix.com/etc/calculator. Im Prinzip, you can enter some commands (variable declarations or function calls) and the calculator will use JavaScript power to find the answer.

The neatest thing about the calculator is that it has some built-in functions (anything from finding a number’s square root to finding the LCM of two numbers to finding the solutions to a quadratic equation.)

Here are some commands you can enter into the calculator and what they do:

7-Reißverschluss: eine kostenlose Möglichkeit, Dateien zu entpacken

Meine Eltern gerade heruntergeladen eine gezippte Datei aus dem Internet (nicht sicher, was es war, Ich denke, ein Installationsprogramm oder so etwas.) Aber das ist neben dem Punkt, das Wichtigste ist, dass sie um sie zu entpacken benötigt, so dass sie die Dateien zugreifen könnte im Inneren. Sie heruntergeladen WinZip, mit dem Sie Entpacken von Dateien.

Alles gut, rechts? Das einzige Problem ist, dass es viel kostet. $30, tatsächlich. Das macht nicht viel erscheinen, aber die Faustregel mit Software:

Wenn Sie zog Ihre Kreditkarte etwas herunterladen, haben Sie wahrscheinlich zu viel bezahlen.
