Greencode WordPress Theme Updated (0.3)
I’ve updated the Greencode WordPress theme (which I’m using on my site) to version 0.3. Since version 0.2, I’ve added a print stylesheet (screenshot of a printed page below), optimized the header image to reduce its size by half, and fixed a few miscellaneous bugs.

Top Diggers list is back
Digg removed its top users list this morning. However, as I mentioned yesterday, It’s an exercise in futility.

Shortcuts are people too
While I was reading over the comments at Lifehacker’s post on URL Fixer, I came across this critique: [...] I’ve run into one little problem with this sucker. I avoid bookmarks like the plague and, instead, create keywords to jump to sites by typing in one word or a short phrase. Anyway, one of my [...]
URL Fixer gets a little British flavour
URL Fixer will now correct “.ku” to “.uk”, but I’ve made no decision on colour, metre, or encyclopaedia. Cheerio!
Netscape 9.0 is coming
I’ve posted the first in a series of teasers for Netscape 9.0 at the Netscape blog: [...] Netscape 9 will be a standalone browser, and from this screenshot, you can infer several things: it will be tightly integrated with the Netscape.com service, as evidenced by the icons for the two available Netscape.com extensions (Friends’ Activity [...]
