Speaking of trials

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

The other new thing I’m trying out, at least on my work PC, is Mozilla 1.1. (Yeah I’m really behind on this one!) I do like some of the features, and it was nice to get a good look at what this site looks like in Moz, since I had already seen what it looks like in Netscape 7, IE 5, 5.5, 6.0 and 5.0 for Mac, and Opera 6.0. I actually like that Moz loads the tables from left to right, it means the content in the middle “div” can be read while the blogrolls are still loading. I hate the way IE waits to load all of it, meaning that any issues with either Blogrolling or the referrer script cause you to have to wait to read my posts.

On the other hand, Blogger isn’t exactly working with Mozilla very well yet, and my own comments get broken if you choose to not “Let scripts open up unrequested windows”, which I have known for sometime, but I just haven’t wanted to shut them down while I make a switch to something else just yet. (Actually, I haven’t decided what to switch to, or if I want to try and figure out how to fix that using aspcomments.)

By the way, since I know someone has been having issues with Angela’s comments, the YACCS works with Mozilla either way that feature is set, because of the use of a “noscript” alternative. (Or at least it works both ways for me.) I might just have to switch this site to that, but I’m leery of yet another off-site script being linked from this page.

    Is there room for calm in your meetings?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 3 minutes

    Mora’s advice is to slow down, pause after someone finishes speaking, take a breath before coming off mute, and slow your speech. 

    I think those are great ideas that I plan to spend a little more time on and bring to the meetings I host in order to bring calm to the whole team. But then I started thinking about the many meetings I take part in each week, and how few of them feel anything like that. They ooze anxiety, tension, and focus on “getting through” the agenda at lightning speed before the next meeting comes at us with even more of the same. 

    They make us feel more distracted and uneasy, not less.

    I’ve been using Mozilla 1.1 for the last few days here at work. As I’ve mentioned before, it can’t really take the place of IE for me, because there’s too many things that don’t work quite right with it, yet. But I’m finding that I can use it in connection with IE to help some…
