0 comments
Many developers know about Firebug - - the highly regarded? HTML/CSS/Javascript investigation and debugging extension for Firefox.

Another Linux Distro for Asus' Eee PC Laptops: eeebuntu

0 comments
Our sister blog jkOnTheRun has a good story about eeebuntu, a new Ubuntu Linux distribution that is specifically customized for Asus' popular Eee PC laptops. You can go with the snazzy Compiz Fusion enabled GNOME version or go plain-vanilla with the Ubuntu Netbook Remix packages. You can get the distro here, and you can quickly return to the Eee PC's normal Xandros Linux if you want. Quite a bit of open source software comes with eeebuntu, including Working WiFi, OpenOffice, Pidgin, Skype, Firefox 3.0.1, and the VLC media player. Those little Eee PCs are a steal at around $350, by the way. I have one. Check out jkOnTheRun's thoughts, with video.

Sleipnir Browser Straddles Firefox & IE Rendering

5 comments
After reading an interesting writeup on it on Download Squad, I've been working with an alternative browser that you may very well have never heard of: Sleipnir. It's a very popular browser in Japan, from a company called Fenrir. The reason it got my attention is it's an extremely customizable browser, and it allows you to choose whether you want to use Firefox's Gecko rendering engine or Internet Explorer's. If you, as I do, primarily work in Firefox but keep Internet Explorer on hand when you run into trouble such as rendering problems, this browser presents an interesting solution.

Winners of the Google-O'Reilly Open Source Awards Announced

1 comments
Google and O'Reilly have announced the winners of the 2008 Google-O'Reilly Open Source Awards. Hat tip to Matt Asay for calling this out. I was very pleased to see one of the people behind Moodle named one of the winners. We've written widely about it. These awards, by the way, recognize special people in the open source community, not just projects. Here, below the fold, are the winners.

Firebug Matures, Gets Developers and Hosting from Mozilla

0 comments

If you're a Web developer, it's a pretty good bet that one of your most important tools is Firebug, an open-source debugger for HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Ajax that works inside of the open-source Firefox Web browser. Since it was first unveiled several years ago, Firebug has taken the Web-development world by storm, revolutionizing developers' ability to modify, test, and debug Web applications. In the last month, Firebug has received hosting and development assistance from Mozilla, a change that will almost certainly benefit both the software and the community.
