Yup, it’s patch time — Twitter.com announced that they were going to standardise on 140 characters maximum for everyone, so I changed Twitterlex to reflect that change. I also made a few minor cosmetic tweaks, and have now released Twitterlex 1.2. Enjoy

Twitterlex v1.1
Sunday, January 28th, 2007Just finished working up Twitterlex v1.1. I’ve added a few things to the widget, the big things being Growl notification and maximum character warnings. Again, it’s still free, so go update!
Firebug goes 1.0 and out of beta!
Friday, January 26th, 2007Congratulations to Joe Hewitt, developer of Firebug, the best of breed “console / inspector / debugger / monitor for HTTP / JavaScript / DOM / CSS / AJAX“.
The extension for Firefox just went 1.0 final (heh, a Web 2.0 tool coming out of beta), and that’s a big deal. Joe has been working on Firebug for just over a year, and it has become a tool more indispensible than even Chris Pederick’s Web Developer extension!
What? You don’t have either of these?! You call yourself a web developer? Let me guess, you still think IE is the only browser worth developing for, and heck, you probably believe that developing to Web Standards is just elitist acadamia… get with the program. Why leave the interpretation of your code to tag-souped chance?
… Eh-erm. Sorry about that monkey I had to get off my back. I heard a rumor yesterday and my anger has found its vent.
But seriously, all those IE die-hards that are still out there today should be amazed at what tools our industry-standard (as opposed to the de-facto-standard) web browser we call Firefox makes available, let alone makes possible.
Since Mozilla 0.7, I’ve found it’s more time-efficient to develop in a Gecko-based browser, then bug-fix for everything else — because it’s much harder and stressy to start in IE and bugfix to Gecko. I’ve found this true for all the technologies: CSS, JavaScript, XSL, AJAX, and now SVG
Viva la revolución! Viva la web standards!
