» Tuesday Stuff and Inspiration

It’s being a tough week with a lot to do (and by a lot I actually mean a lot) but there are small things that actually lifts the burden a bit and brings the happiness to the surface instead! One of these things are the message I had received on a forum today when I signed on thanking me for the tutorials available here. I’m very glad many of you find them useful and like them. I promise you there’ll be a lot more coming and I’m planning out some other surprises as well, so stay tuned!

View your sites in IE if you are on a Mac…

I was planning to post this yesterday but I forgot it only to be reminded today of it by a post on a forum I visit (can you tell I go to quite a few forums). Since Internet Explorer isn’t in at least any current versions available for the Mac, all us Mac users have trouble testing our websites using IE. Luckily there are a couple of solutions with these two being the best in my opinion.

•  One way of doing it is installing a copy of Windows using a virtualization program, such as VMware Fusion or Parallels. You can of course also install it using Boot Camp if you want. These will just enable you to power up your virtual machine or boot camp copy, and run the tests in IE. (This is where I find the virtualization programs to be much better since you don’t need to restart the computer.)
• Another way, the way I like much more and that is that you use one of the IE emulators available online. There are a plethora of them out there available and one of them that I use a lot is one called IE Net Renderer available at the link right here, online!

Boot Camp Users be aware!

Apple has now come out with an official statement that all people running Boot Camp on their OS X Tiger macs will be having their BETA license of the utility expired upon the launch of Mac OS X Leopard later this month!

Speaking of later this month…Leopard!

Yes, speaking about Apple and later this month, it doesn’t really hurt to mention that Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard is being released late this month, the more specific time frame according to AppleInsider (remember that it is just a rumor though). Get ready for the new OS Upgrade, and remember, Adobe has said that they will work their quickest to get the CS3 suite working with Leopard!
