Every now and then I get someone asking me for an ftp password. Mine have always been stored in FileZilla. I don’t know them by heart. There is no problem with this except that FileZilla encrypts them. Thank God decrypting FileZilla 2 passwords is easy. Here is some as2 code to accomplish it:

I recently had to transform an xml file into a scorm manifest file. I wanted it to be in UTF-8, but Microsoft.XMLDOM‘s transform method disregards the encoding setting in xsl:output. The transformNodeToObject method doesn’t. I also found out I had to use the save method on the output object instead of writing a file based on the xml property. You’ll find the function I ended up writing to assist me below:

Update: Google seems to have fixed it.
Silverlight 1.0 is released and it doesn’t work on Mac OS prior to version 10.4.8, Linux, Windows 2000 and the Opera browser.
Flash Player 9 reached 90% penetration. Maybe thanks to being truly cross platform?
The iPod touch has a multi touch interface, wifi, iTunes and Safari. I wonder if it also lets you share your music for 3 days?
Opera 9.5 alpha has been released. It is blazingly fast and has a full-text search feature of your history.
Search was added to Google Reader. This also makes it impossible to use with Opera 9.5 alpha.
If you ever need to use 3D in flash you can now use the Papervision3D Component. Thank you John Grden!
And Pierre Lepers created an event model for Papervision. Excellent work!
Apple just released Safari 3 Beta for Windows.
It looks nice and even passes the acid 2 browser test
This beta will probably be used as a web development tool more than as a default browser. Thats where the Safari Developer FAQ comes in handy and don’t forget to enable the debug menu! Add the following to %APPDATA%\Apple Computer\Safari\Preferences.plist.
<key>IncludeDebugMenu</key> <true/>
This is a beta so some bugs were to be expected. Bookmarks don’t work at all on my machine and typing in text inputs crashes the browser. I couldn’t believe that last one at first so I created a testcase.
Update: An exploit has been found in the beta. Don’t use this for casual surfing!
Update 2: An updated version is released that fixes three security "issues".

Css positioning has allways been hard. The css starter pages Stephanie created for Dreamweaver CS3 are therefore more than welcome.
Lessons learned:
Seeing all this css goodness made me hungry for more. So I created my own three columns fixed width layout. I’m quite pleased with the result. It doesn’t need any hacks except for internet explorer older than version 7.
I’m really looking forward to Multi-Mania tomorrow. See you there!
