The Distance to the Nearest Star

~ 30th May 2004. · 02:12 CET · permanent link · printer friendly ~

While checking some old bookmarks (had them over 300), I’ve found a diagram, “The Distance to the Nearest Star”. Wondering is there some guy watching how far is our Sun from his solar system.

A few days ago there was a movie, Star Trek: First Contact on TV… Is there someone cruising near us lately, waiting ’till we discover warp drive?

Safari and background images

~ 27th May 2004. · 16:11 CET · permanent link · printer friendly ~

Checked site via iCapture for Safari, and not happy, not happy at all.

It seems that it has the same rendering problem (just like Internet Explorer) regarding .PNG images. Beside that, for some unknown reason, background image is repeating (?). Tried searching G., but found nothing useful, so I’ll have to resize/resample/expand affected images… Will this ever end?

Anyone have a clue?

Updated 29th May 2004.

So, here’s what I did to make it work in Safari 1.2:

  • Went crazy counting exact dimensions and absolute positions.
  • Resized all links to exact sizes of the images used in top menu.
  • Saved all .GIF images as .PNG, so now there is a set of .GIFs for IE, and a set of .PNGs for Mozilla/Opera/Safari
  • Checked the result thanks to iCapture. Did already said that’s a great service? Well, never mind… It is a great service.

Testing, testing…
