Opera 10.6.3 failed to run the tests.

Go to line 126, change

to

if (p) { p.setHtml(''); }

While Firefox ignores this OS-level increase, and will leave the font settings you, as a web developer, have so carefully crafted, IE7 (and later versions? I wasn’t able to test this) maintains the increased font size, wreaking havoc on your layout if you’ve been cavalier enough to count on users zooming rather than resizing.

You will also obviously need the Android SDK. If you just want to play around with the emulator or test websites, ignore the stuff on the installation instructions about Eclipse or other IDEs. If you meet the system requirements, download the right SDK version for your computer.

Once it’s downloaded, unzip it wherever is convenient for you (into a /code or /development directory, or just in your home directory).

Next, you will probably want to add the directory where android is to your system PATH. You can see what your path is by typing in your terminal “echo $PATH”. You will want to go to your home directory /Users/<yourloginname> and edit your .profile file. If it already has something that looks like this:

export PATH=/opt/local/bin:$PATH

Then just add the android directory onto the end like so:

export PATH=/opt/local/bin:$PATH:/Users/<yourusername>/android-sdk-mac_86/tools

When that’s done, close Terminal.app, restart it and type “android.” This will start the SDK and AVD (Android Virtual Device) Manager. You will not have any virtual devices downloaded/installed yet, so that will be your first step.

Click on “Available Packages” on the menu on the left side, and you will get a list of SDKs to download.

Check the box next to the latest one (in this case, SDK Platform Android 2.2, API 8, revision 2). Click “Install Selected” then click “Install”. The SDK will probably take a few minutes to download and install.

When it’s done installing, click on “Virtual Devices” then click the button “New” to create a new virtual device. Call it something like android2.2HVGA for the SDK and screen resolution (HVGA is for Half VGA). The size of the SD card doesn’t matter much for our purposes here, but it must be at least 9 MB. There are other configuration options you can tweak, but again we don’t need to worry about them now. If you want, you can change the skin to WVGA 800 or 854, which are common on the latest generation of Android phones.

Click the button to create the AVD, then select it from the Virtual Devices manager and click “Start…”, leaving the options at their default before you click “Launch”.

It will take anywhere from 30 seconds to a couple minutes to start (takes me a couple minutes on a MBP 2.53 ghz core 2 duo), during which you will see the following screens:

Eventually, you’ll see the home screen and you’re ready to go.

Vow

Vow also has extended glyph and European character support. Too bad I’m too poor to pay the (eminently reasonable) ~$50 for each one

Got rid of Smashing Magazine, which suffers from a poor signal:noise ratio, and Surfin’ Safari, which was mostly just Webkit reviewer notifications. Dropped a few others that basically just re-posted their tweets and/or too frequently mixed in ill-informed political opinion.

offers paragraph-level commenting in the margins of a text. digress.it is based on the architecture of weblogs, but is geared toward in-depth discussions of longer documents: article, essay or even book-length. With digress.it, you can annotate, gloss, workshop and debate on a fine-grained level, turning a document into a conversation.

I worked on the old Commentpress platform to get it running in English and French, and contributed some minor bug fixes, and really liked the idea behind the project, so this is an exciting development to see. I haven’t explored the plugin yet, but hopefully it will make the functionality much easier to integrate into an existing Wordpress installation.

If you’re already browser sniffing, this might be a better idea for applying targeted CSS rules than including an extra stylesheet with conditional comments (which means an extra HTTP request), or using the underscore hack (IE6), or star hack (IE7) which cause invalid CSS.
