Borogoves

Went through the old posts and spruced everything up so that they at least look no worse than they did in the old theme, I think. Had an oddity with my image styling with Safari 3 and rows of thumbnails, like in this post, where the images load fine the first time, but after the page is refreshed, at least one of the images (almost always the first or last, and usually both) ends up squished to about ten pixels or so in width. Resizing the window causes the shrunken pictures to increase in width to about fifteen pixels, and refreshing after that may or may not cause one or more of the images to return to their proper size. Works great in the latest Minefield nightly, though, but it wouldn’t surprise me if that’s in the minority. Gotta love floating elements.

To give you the illusion that I’m not shafting you on content for the second consecutive post, while inspecting my Folklore.org post, I decided to check the site to see if there had been any updates, even though the RSS feed hadn’t been updated. And, surprise surprise, there are currently ten stories about the Apple Newton available for your consumption. No real humor or person stories yet; they’re actually more technically oriented so far, talking about such page-turners NewtonScript and the memory model.

The stories have been on the site since at least March 25, since there’s one comment stamped with that date on the story about recognizing Lewis Carroll’s “Jabberwocky.” The new stories did not show up in the RSS feed, and in fact the “This is a test” entry has been removed from the feed, and doubly in fact the “This is a test” entry has been removed altogether. However, the comments entered on that entry are still in the comments RSS feed (as is the “Jabberwocky” comment I linked to earlier), and in one, Andy Hertzfeld said that he’s currently working on a separate RSS feed for the Newton stories. Here’s hoping it’s finished soon and that more stories follow.
