Kirk LaPointe has assembled a mammoth list of news- and media-related links. The look is not pretty, but with Type Ahead Find, or a bit of patience, the list is an impressive resource. (LaPointe, by the way, was the Senior Vice-President at CTV News, the Executive Editor of the National Post, as well as the editor of The Hamilton Spectator. He’s now “at large”.)

CANOE’s offices were once in an 19th-centrury factory building — a gorgeous “dot-com-esque” building with pictures of factory workers slaving away making what looked like bathtubs. The double irony didn’t escape us, after all, high-tech is the new blue collar.

Finished the move into our new place, but am still without phone service (thank goodness, for cellphones) or Internet access there. As a result, there’s likely a few unaswered emails there. If yours is one of them, expect a reply sometime this week.

Mozilla 1.2 was been pulled from release while I was moving because of a dHTML-based bug. A frustrating setback — although I’ve yet to encounter any problems — but a fix is in the works.

I’ve largely avoided dHTML APIs because they are clunky in that many provide support for browsers I don’t care to develop for on this site. Chris Nott, of Dithered, has posted a new API that “allows authors to avoid all this branching and use DOM2 event properties and methods to register event listeners and deal with event objects as if they were coding a Mozilla-specific application.”

Think I’ll be playing around with this…
