A new version of Manila Envelope is in testing. Seems to work reasonably well. I'm trying to call my mother. Cellular network is overloaded. This is a first. 9:23:09 PM | reply [] The installer is certainly coming slowly. But it's coming. 8:07:30 AM | reply [] I haven't really begun work on ICeCoffEE's installer, unfortunately; I've spent the past few hours making ICeCoffEE itself more robust. The XFree86 4.2 Mac OS X installer is out, but it's downloading very slowly... somewhere between 15 and 23 KB/sec. This is the first time they've used a Mac OS X binary installer... hope it works well. 2:57:45 AM | reply [] OK, the title scaling should be fixed too. From a design perspective (but who am I to judge?) this template is nice, but from a programming standpoint it's ugly and messy. I guess this another reason why CSS has been so slowly adopted, ignoring the browser difficulties. Embedding presentation in HTML is like writing code in Visual Basic. It's easy to get the results you want by being direct, but it eventually turns into a maintenance nightmare. Sitting here, listening to FolkScene, and working on an installer for ICeCoffEE. Just need to remember to go home early enough tonight that I can wake up in the morning... as opposed to the afternoon. 12:11:20 AM | reply [] Fixed the navbar and removed what I consider to be excessive whitespace in the template. It appears the title area doesn't scale properly if the text takes up too much room. Adjusting font size to fix for most users, no time to fix properly. 12:07:58 AM | reply []
