Panera Packet Size Limitation?

Sunday, December 2nd, 2007

Has anyone had issues where you’re attempting to upload files through an  HTTP interface web method of sorts while at Panera bread and hit a package limit of 500 kilobytes?  Just curious as I’m attempting to upload a few pictures to Flickr.com through their web site and hitting a size limit - pretty sure it’s not Panera.

I’m curious if there’s a size limit which Panera has their wireless routers set to limit the size of files that are able to be transferred via HTTP based web methods.  Anyone else run across this?

Amazing map of the Internet…

Thursday, September 6th, 2007

 So there have been several maps of the Internet generated over the years, but I definitely have to say that this one is the most clever in that it takes after the London Underground map, or at least in the same style.  For the original story, hit up the Independent here.

Blogging with Word 2007 Beta 2 TR

Saturday, September 16th, 2006

So after the long wait, Microsoft Office Beta 2 Technical Refresh (TR) was finally released on Thursday, though with not quite the fanfare that I expected it to be released with. A week earlier it was released to Microsoft staff (according to blog postings) and so it was inevitable that it would be released to the public shortly there after. Nonetheless, I’m quite pleased with a lot of the bug fixes (though I’ve yet to confirm all 6400 of them ;)), the polished UI among other things and the fact that the crash rate has decreased ten fold (primarily thinking of PowerPoint when opening up files from a SharePoint site) or the flickering refresh issue I was having with InfoPath.

All in all, I’m a happy little kid with this upgrade :) Fortunately it looks like it expires on May 15, 2007 which gives me ample time to procure the software once it actually comes out on market. So far as Kramer would say, “I’m lovin’ every second of it!”

Firefox 1.0.1 Released

Firefox 1.0.1 Released
homeobocks writes “Firefox 1.0.1 has been officially released by the Mozilla Foundation, with some important security fixes. An announcement and release notes are available.” Presumably this fixes the window injection vulnerabilities.
And much like my colleague over at GregNews.org might say, “And everyone said… amen”
According to Firefox Release Notes, the improvements in the ..1 update are as follows:

  • Improved stability
  • International Domain Names are now displayed as punycode. (To show International Domain Names in Unicode set the “network.IDN_show_punycode” preference to false.)
  • Several security fixes

To say the least, I’m happy to see the Mozilla Organization continuing to work on this fine product, enhancing it and fixing bugs in a timely fashion like other companies should.
