Mon 6th Oct 2008 @ 12:05: Iceweasel 3.0.1 - old?
Facebook's "chat" facility (which I must admit I don't often use) has started to mis-detect the Iceweasel User-Agent string. Accordingly, it doesn't include the fuller interface at the bottom of the page any longer, and when clicked, the opened page suggests www.firefox.com, which will admittedly offer Firefox 3.0.3, an entire "0.0.2" newer than Iceweasel.
I would have thought that a web application as widespread as Facebook, and which is currently advertising Linux developer jobs on its own website, would be aware of the Iceweasel User-Agent string. Shame on you, Facebook.

But in truth it had not exactly been gold, or even the promise of gold, but more like the fantasy of gold, the fairy dream that the gold is there, at the end of the rainbow, and will continue to be there for ever provided, naturally, that you don't go and look.
This is known as Finance.

Wed 1st Oct 2008 @ 15:50: YouTube - English or English?: i18n gone mad
YouTube seem to have changed from "www.youtube.com" to "uk.youtube.com" recently, unless I never noticed it before. They have also now added more internationalisation (i18n) features:
For what it's worth, clicking on "Show message in English" simply shows the same message twice.
