Blogilistan uudet käyttöehdot sisältävät outoja rajoituksia:

• palvelun kautta saatua sisältöä ei saa välittää edelleen
• palvelua ei saa käyttää tekijänoikeudella suojatun aineiston levittämiseen

Tämän blogin juttuihin saa kuitenkin linkata ja niitä voi lainatakin, kunhan lähde mainitaan. Omasta puolestani sillä ei ole väliä, miten olet tämän blogin sisällön alunperin vastaanottanut.

Omistan tekijänoikeuden näihin omiin teksteihini, enkä halua siitä luopua. Rikkoisin ymmärtääkseni käyttöehtoja, jos jättäisin oman blogini yhä Blogilistalle.

Näppärä tapa seurata blogin harvoja juttuja on tilata syöte. Itse luen blogeja ja muutakin materiaalia selainpohjaisella Google Reader-ohjelmalla.

I’ve had IPv6 connectivity for over 5 years (first from IIJ, now from SixXS). However, it wasn’t until last night that I finally got my website on IPv6, when some final wrinkles in the web server configuration were ironed out. (more…)

Your browser’s language settings no longer alter the content on my pages. I haven’t had enough time to complete the language selection feature so that it would cover all aspects of the site (e.g. feeds and search results), and it would take a non-trivial amount of time to actually do that.

I’ve also received a couple of comments on the article filtering that indicate it is not really needed or maybe not even wanted. I don’t write so much that it would be difficult to skip some of the content. Having to reconfigure your browser is also just another hurdle, if you happened to want to see all articles.

So for the one or two people who might feel uncomfortable with the notes in Finnish, sorry. :-P

For the others, welcome to the occasional commentary in my native language. ;-)

Well, this is only for those of you who browse with MSIE: the images on my (non-blog) pages are back. For example, I’m sure the Proxy through SSH document is easier to follow with the screen captures visible, instead of staring at blank spots. (The blog pages were already fixed earlier.)

I wonder how many more times I’m going to be writing about the same problem — it is just so very annoying that I have to at least vent a little after fixing the same thing over and over. This time I had to add an extra <div> element on the pages, which makes it even more frustrating (“unnecessary” extra elements). Well, I put some comments in the code so I’d remember why it is there…

Not that I noticed this one on my own, either. I was talking to someone about a page, and got an odd “what picture?” response. At least I now immediately remember to fire up MSIE when I hear something like that.

Alternative browsers you could switch to: Firefox and Opera.

The recent Microsot Internet Explorer (IE) problem was bothering me, because it meant the pages were not usable with IE. I wouldn’t mind a cosmetic problem as much (even though they tend to get to me, too) but links not working and pictures not being visible is just too annoying.

I was playing with the CSS, experimenting with the “floating dt” that I had avoided in the last workaround due to it “disappearing” on IE. When I made the dd element floating as well, I saw that IE was rendering the contents below and outside the white box (#envelope) that holds the main content on each page. In the past this has been a giveaway for IE miscalculating the size of the containing element, and sure enough — the “fix” was an added width: 100% property for the misbehaving container.

The “invisible images” were restored to visibility with the same fix on the appropriate container. I’m glad it didn’t need another couple of hours of CSS tweaking in the dark.

It’s nice to have the site working again, but I’d rather not spend my free time on something stupid like inventing workarounds for a buggy browser. (Not that I expect Microsoft to pick up any hints from here.)

Enjoy!
