Non-Genuine windows users, download Internet Explorer 7!

Pirates FlagAs a web designer I blamed some months ago about Internet Explorer, the worst browser ever. Version 6 is plenty of defects: very bad CSS interpretation, lack of coherence with web standards, no support for PNG complex transparency, etc…
Internet Explorer 7 seems to have solved some of these issues, but the previous version is still the most wide spread release: this is probably due also to genuine windows copies control the new release performed before installing.
Now Internet Explorer 7 is available as a free update also for irregular windows users, and doesn’t perform WGA (Windows Genuine Advantage) controls any more.
If you really want to use this browser, please, at least upgrade to the latest version! (it is also supposed to be more secure…).

P.S. In case you need a more flexible, easy-to-use, secure, fast, reliable, free browser, I suggest you to try Mozilla Firefox.

Apple Safari 3 for Windows

Apple Safari 3 for WindowsToday during the WWDC07 Apple announced that Safari 3 will be released also for Windows platform.

A beta version is already available here:
http://www.apple.com/safari/

According to Apple, Safari is 2 times faster than Internet Explorer 7 and up to 1.6 times faster than Mozilla Firefox.

I downloaded the beta version of Safari and installed it on Windows XP: the installation went smoothly but the browser gave a non critical error on starting. It’s really fast but I experienced some characters and pages rendering issues.
It’s still a beta version of course, but in my opinion the premises are good: waiting for a stable Windows release.

Restyling (and welcome!)

colored pencils
Hello, I’m Alberto and yellowjug.com is my personal website, on-line since 2003.

At first I created these pages to host my original true type font. Eventually I added some simple animations and pictures I made, and set up a free e-cards service: tens of thousands of people sent e-cards thought it.
Creating an e-card, yet simple as mine, requires a lot of time and now I’m quite busy, therefore I think I’ll ask some freelance designers friends of mine to animate new e-cards to send for free through this service, as I developed a quite powerful PHP engine which can easily include and categorize new animations or pictures as electronic cards (I’m going to write an article on it, including code examples…).

On may 2007 YellowJug.com has migrated to a new server. I decided to restyle both the internal code and part of the website design.
I’m converting this website into a “container” for my ideas; for this reason I added a projects section where I’ll put some works, scripts ands misc stuff I’m working on. Moreover I converted the homepage into a “blog” section where I’ll be able to write articles and thoughts about subjects I’m interested in.
