Austin Public Library Lookup UT Austin Library Lookup Drag one of the links above to the link toolbar of your web browser (or bookmark it — the links won’t work if you simply click on them from this page, though).

safari

I just spent a few minutes trying out Apple’s new web browser, Safari. It’s fast, the interface is clean and elegant, and it blocks pop-ups, but the rendering engine is distressingly buggy.

another boring computer thing

I was bored tonight, so I wrote an SNF search plugin for use with the crappy Mozilla web browser and the incomparably good Phoenix web browser. Look at it go!
