Posted In |

{mosimage}"Sure, just about anyone and their dog can hit E and jump in a jet, but do you really know what you are doing as you leave the runway?

This guide should help you get familiar with the different features you will have while soaring the sky's, so pay attention solider!"

BF2 Stats Widget

Posted In |

{mosimage}I've decided to release for public consumption the BF2 Stats Widget, that I've been working on for awhile.

The issue had been that the stat providers were changing their sig locations on a daily basis. It seems they've worked out all the issues for now, by having "delayed" stats.

Anyway, check it out and let me know what you think.

South Pacs 2005

Posted In Paintball |

On August 6th to 7th, Samford Skirmish hosted South Pacs 2005, one of the longest running and most competitive paintball tournaments in Australia.

Congrats to SWAT, who took out the Pro division and Apoc for taking out Div 1. Whilst, we didn't fair to well overall, we did okay in our own division (2W / 1D / 2L). We also had heaps of fun, there were no organization hiccups and we got to play against the best of the best including Oliver Lang, who played on one of the Pro teams for Day 1.

See you all in 2006 !

IE 7 to fail W3C's Acid test

Posted In Microsoft |

{mosimage}In its browser blog, Microsoft acknowledged that IE 7 would not pass the Web Standards Project's Acid2 test, which examines a browser's support for W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) recommendations including CSS1 (Cascading Style Sheets), HTML4 and PNG (Portable Network Graphics).

"We will not pass this test when IE7 ships," Chris Wilson, lead program manager for the Web platform in IE, wrote in the IE blog. "We fully recognize that IE is behind the game today in CSS support. We've dug through the Acid2 test and analyzed IE's problems with the test in some great detail, and we've made sure the bugs and features are on our list--however, there are some fairly large and difficult features to implement, and they will not all sort to the top of the stack in IE7."

Opera was "very close" to passing Acid2 whilst, Apple has already said that its Safari browser passes the test in preliminary builds. The Mozilla Foundation said it was committed to "full support" of Acid2 in its Firefox browser but did not say when it expected to pass the test.
