Accessibility Validation/Notifications/Audits as part of Firefox Developer Tools

2015-03-26 2015-03-26

Mozilla’s mission to “promote openness, innovation & opportunity on the Web” would go perfectly with a deeper integration of accessibility validation/notifications/audit measurements at Firefox Developer Tools.
It would help raising awareness of developers and product managers about this important part of web development and lower costs of audits (by saving time) in dev process.

@callahad @mozhacks I'd strongly argue for deep integration of #a11y features in @FirefoxDevTools reflecting #Mozilla's Mission of openness

— Volker_E (@Volker_E) March 26, 2015

There are currently two ideas at the Firefox Developer Tools feedback channel around that topic:

  • Inspect accessibility information
  • Accessibility Developer Tools

Go vote for it!

OpenOffice.org 3 Startup Screen Alternative

2008-10-16 2014-03-15

Whoever wants to change the startup screen of OpenOffice.org 3 to a better alternative, here you go (it’s the screen originally of OpenOffice.org 3 beta):

Download-Link for the intro.zip containing intro.bmp

You have to put it into your OpenOffice.org installation directory, common ones are:

  • Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10: /usr/lib/openoffice/program/openintro_ubuntu.bmp
  • Linux: /opt/openoffice.org3/program/intro.bmp
  • Windows: %programfiles%OpenOffice.org 3intro.bmp

If you like so, you can also disable the startup screen, as described at oooninja.com.

Brushed 2beta release date

2006-12-24 2006-12-24

To all pleasure seekers:
I’d liked to release early this time and I’ve really tried hard to get a beta-version of Brushed going for you as a little present right on 24th.
But I didn’t succeed as I got ill a few days ago and changes between the code base of Firefox 1.5 and 2.0 are more difficult than I’ve suspected (tabs are completely corrupted at the moment, no tab-closebutton to see at all).

I’m lookin forward releasing before New Year’s Eve, although I’m an optimistic person in regards to release dates. Working digitally and being optimistically time-wise seems to be a contradiction in terms sometimes. ;)

Schöne Feiertage!

Publishing date for Brushed for Firefox 2

2006-11-27 2006-11-27

Hi to all the people outside waiting for Brushed for Firefox 2.
I’ve received many, many e-mails during the recent weeks asking for a new version and one person – thanks Huji – even brought in lines of code.

I’m quite sorry that I haven’t got the version update ready yet. Read more

Fight against Comment Spam in WordPress

2006-11-06 2014-02-26

As some might have noticed, this blog was down for several hours/days in the last few weeks.
The reason for this was COMMENT SPAM.
In the beginning (around 6 months ago) I thought on getting along with it without countermeasure. But spam rose to a climax of about 30 per day. I’ve received somewhat 1000 unsolicited comments, only two of them were published – by accident. This is due to the very well-done comment-handling tools in WordPress. But I like to know what people are writing on my site, so I am getting an e-mail whenever a comment needs approvement. So it got an unbearable situation.

Solutions: Turing-Test, collaborative fight?!
