OS quiz and MNG
Jan. 28th, 2003 11:08 amLJ meetup in the Filmhouse is today 8pm, see you there!
Apparently I'm Palm OS (quiz). I've moved this to the top since it's the only part of this article that's attracted any comment. Pah.
At first I was pleased that my cutting edge browser supports that fine, free standard for animated images - MNG - as well as the much-less-capable animated GIFs.
Then I remembered that I'd only switch animation off anyway.
Then I remembered that I'd never switched animation on before trying the MNG tests, and got pissed off that it animated them anyway! Maybe it's a cunning tactic to encourage people to use the new file format, and they'll make Galeon honour the "Never animate images" flag for MNG files as well once they're popular.
Washing machine delivered, but the old broken one is still plumbed in. Oven replaced, but the new one is still in its box; I don't feel like dealing with it just now. New phone fiddled with but no further. Started chasing up laptop at 9am; why wait until the delivery deadline has passed to hear, as I inevitably did, that it won't arrive today?

I never liked these surveys.

Re: help
Date: 2003-01-28 05:16 am (UTC)I used HP-UX as it shipped and hated it more than I've ever hated any other UNIX. I can't think of a good word to say about it.

Date: 2003-01-28 04:21 am (UTC)Which OS are You? (http://bbspot.com/News/2003/01/os_quiz.php)
I think it automatically picks some form of LINUX/UNIX if you say anything nasty about Windows...

Well not totally random but not far off.
Pah

Or - which I've had to do today - boot straight into Forth, because nothing else was sodding working.
