Drivel:  I was trying to use Radio on the AT&T Wireless corporate network today and there is no way that I can use it on that network, or any other decently secure business network.  More and more, network administrators are using automatic configuration scripts rather than explicit proxy connections because it allows them to move servers around and perform maintenance as needed. All they need to do in order to move users from one proxy to another is edit the PAC file. If you are on a network that uses automatic configuration scripts and you want to run Radio, you are out of luck.   PAC file support needs to be worked into Radio. Here is a document that explains how PAC files work.  I wish I could tackle this, but I am afraid that it will have to wait until the middle of December if I want to do it.  11:38:46 PM   comments ()

Drivel:  I found a couple of web testing gems this evening while solving a problem for a client.  Here is a compatibility matrix for CSS.  It is a little outdated, but represents a decent baseline to start from.  Here is another compatibility matrix for AOL clients.  If you cross reference the two matrices, you will know how much client-side programming you can allow in your web site or web application given your target user base.  12:50:10 AM   comments ()
