I am apparently a “Cool New Person” on MySpace today. (Thanks to Herbie for the picture, since I can’t seem to see it myself.)
21 friend requests from people I’ve never met and counting. It’s going to be real fun to deny them all!
Admittedly, I have nothing on Laren, who has not only topped a depressing Google search term, but has been the featured personal on Gawker and Salon. You watch your back though, Spirer. I’m gunning for you now.
If you’re like me at all, you’ve been waiting patiently for Tiger solely for the impending return of Quicksilver builds every few weeks.
Luckily, Alcor is kind enough to have provided me with a developmental build (to be fair, everyone on #quicksilver has access, but I’m going to pretend), and gave me permission to drop some of the new feature flavor in your ear. Or in your eye, I guess.
b40 is out now, so this is less of a preview and more of a review.
I was digging through some tech notes this morning for work to find some help with this authentication problem I’m bumping into, and I found this gem in the localizatition section of “Authorization for Everyone”:
> With this right specification you will see that, when prompted to authorize, a user who prefers English over Australian English will see the message “You must be authorized to do alpha.” while a user who prefers Australian English over English will see “Strewth! You must be authorised to do alpha.”. For Australians it’s very important that every sentence contains an expletive (and that “authorised” be spelt with an ‘s’).
It was a needed laugh on a crappy day. Carry on.
