Both the embedded fonts overview and the scrolling layers page have been updated.

good: The embedded fonts example now also works in IE 5 on a Mac and bad: Netscape 6 dropped support for embedded fonts. The scrolling layer script is updated and now stops instead of scrolling to infinity when you run out of content.

Apparently the whole of Australia is connected to the internet with 1 cable. And a flimsy one too.

Ah now they are

NOTICE OF REVOCATION OF INDEPENDENCE

To the citizens of the United States of America, In the light of your
failure to elect a President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves,
we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective
today.

Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchial duties
over all states, commonwealths and other territories. Except Utah, which
she does not fancy. Your new prime minister (The rt. hon. Tony Blair, MP
for the 97.85% of you who have until now been unaware that there is a
world outside your borders) will appoint a minister for America without
the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be
disbanded. A questionnaire will be circulated next year to determine
whether any of you noticed. To aid in the transition to a British Crown
Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:

1. You should look up “revocation” in the Oxford English Dictionary.
Then look up “aluminium”. Check the pronunciation guide. You will be
amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it. Generally, you
should raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. Look up “vocabulary”.
Using the same twenty seven words interspersed with filler noises such
as “like” and “you know” is an unacceptable and inefficient form of
communication. Look up “interspersed”.

2. There is no such thing as “US English”. We will let Microsoft know on
your behalf.

3. You should learn to distinguish the English and Australian accents.
It really isn’t that hard.

4. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as the
good guys.

5. You should relearn your original national anthem, “God Save The
Queen”, but only after fully carrying out task 1. We would not want you
to get confused and give up half way through.

6. You should stop playing American “football”. There is only one kind
of football. What you refer to as American “football” is not a very good
game. The 2.15% of you who are aware that there is a world outside your
borders may have noticed that no one else plays “American” football. You
will no longer be allowed to play it, and should instead play proper
football. Initially, it would be best if you played with the girls. It
is a difficult game. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed
to play rugby (which is similar to American “football”, but does not
involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar
body armour like nancies). We are hoping to get together at least a US
rugby sevens side by 2005.

7. You should declare war on Quebec and France, using nuclear weapons if
they give you any merde. The 98.85% of you who were not aware that there
is a world outside your borders should count ourselves lucky. The
Russians have never been the bad guys. “Merde” is French for “sh*t”.

8. July 4th is no longer a public holiday. November 8th will be a new
national holiday, but only in England. It will be called “Indecisive
Day”.

9. All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and it is for your
own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand what we
mean.

10. Please tell us who killed JFK. It’s been driving us crazy.

Thank you for your cooperation.

It seems the newest hype program is groove. The idea seems to be good. It’s sort of a cross between ICQ and Lotus Notes (it was made by the guy who made notes) and it allows the same sort of groupware functionality notes offers in a simpler package. It’s defining feature is that it’s easily expandable though. With a bit of programming skill you can add peer-to-peer networking applications and share them with your friends.
