Schnappi
A lovely kids song by a 6-year-old German girl, Joy Gruttman. I first heard it in my car on the way back home last week. The song has now become a hot pick by FM DJs in my area.
Here’s two external links for more info about the song and the kids:
Well, I have to say: I really love it!

Zend pushing new PHP Framework
Zend has started an open source project – PHP Collaboration Project to create a industrial-grade application developement evironment.
As they promise, it will be an open license, cross-company collaboration, and a complete application framework solution for industrial web projects. And, Zend will start to release the codes to public web community in coming January 2006.
Well, I’m looking forward to taste it soon, especially its URI Mapping support feature (which will eventually replace the job of Apache’s mod_rewrite with native PHP coding).
Mean while, feel free to enjoy their 1-hour webcast hosted by php|arch. You will grab the whole idea of the framework easily after the webcast. Basically, it will be a MVC-like framework, with a collection of simple-ready-to-use components for rapid web developments.
(Notice the running time-meter at the bottom of webcast after reaching 1 hour.. Hint: bug)
Happenings in new firefox 1.5
Thanks to Enrii’s “first-hand” news, I managed to get the latest release of firefox 1.5 this morning.
After the new firefox installed, I immediately launched it to try get its “first taste”. As an online reader (who just use browser for reading), at a first glance, I couldn’t even notice any changes in my new firefox. But a few clicking around, ahah, I managed to point out some differences:
New Tools > “Options..”
A new layout (but rather formal-looking) for Options dialog box. Honestly, I miss its previous fancy-looking appearance.
New Tools > “Clear Private Data.. (Ctrl+Shift+Del)”
Ah, here’s a quick shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+Del) to clean up browsing information (e.g history, saved forms & passwords, cookies, cache and even authenticated session) in a single click.
New Help > “Check for Updates…“
Another “just a single click” new function for users to check updates for firefox itself and all the extensions,themes and search engines updates.
Missing A Monkey..
Greasemonkey 0.5.3 is not working anymore in Firefox 1.5 and has been automatically disabled. However, I managed to google the fix just five minutes ago: Greasemonkey 0.6.4!
CSS Error Error Error..
I never notice previous Firefox 1.0.7 will display CSS parsing errors in its Javascript Console window, but well, we have that now in Firefox 1.5.
Guess what I found in Google’s stylesheet:
h3{font-weight:normal;font-size=100%}
Opps! Who’s the careless programmer? Ah.. don’t forget to use ‘:’ instead.
After all, not much “woah” in the new Firefox 1.5 from an online reader’s POV. However, for web developers, Firefox 1.5 is surely bringing along some excitements (here’s a brief) and for themes/extensions/monkey’s userscript geeks, well, you have start your debugging sessions once again.
