Broadband Blog:Modified content

Ever since this was “ajaxified!”, I have been experimenting with the basic set up. Though, I must admit that my HTML skills are next to none. I am persisting with this theme as it renders the entire contents in a pleasing format. It was there briefly prior to upgrading but for some reason, I had to revert back to Word Press Default.

Finally, I was able to add the Creative Commons licence; this says it all. While it doesn’t mean much because determined folks would copy anyway, I believe that this is far better than “copyrights reserved”- with its own legal hassles.

For the record, Internet isn’t owned by anyone and I don’t have lawyers who would go “ape shit”. (Regular readers would recognise this term). All is done in the spirit of Open Source and Open Access.

One more issue at present is the Akismet Spam plugin; this is catching even genuine comments. As time progresses, I am sure that it would learn a thing or two. It held my own comments for moderation!

Please bear for the time being while this is settled. Rest assured it would be done.

Before I end, a few good words about Opera. It’s going to release the next technical preview. There is an excited buzz about Opera Labstoo. According to Opera Watch:

The Opera Labs will contain prototypes (technical preview and beta versions) of new browser versions. Opera spokesman Thomas Ford told Opera Watch that the Opera Labs would be a resource on the Web to get a behind the scenes look at the new products and technologies that Opera is working on.In addition, Opera will also add content about open standards and Web applications.

Even if it isn’t Open Source, Opera is customisable. Czallion geeks weren’t able to test Firefox’s memory issues and the patch was delayed for almost 3+ months. I have no problem per se but it doesn’t make Firefox better than Opera at all. Customisability is important for the end user; I see no reason why it can’t be deployed across government offices, schools and corporations. If security is the issue with Firefox (majorly), then Opera is far safer browser than either FF or Internet Explorer any day.
