Update: CSS2 Rollovers. We’ve tweaked our pure CSS2 rollovers to perfection, and moved them to their own directory. These vertical rollovers use the hover pseudo-class for CSS2 browsers, and display properly in Netscape 4.x. By Andy King et al. 0329 [WebReference News]
Book review: Java RMI
“With the rise of XML-based RPC (e.g. SOAP, XML-RPC, APEX), the distributed computing world is starting to really unsettle from the CORBA-RMI-DCOM oligopoly of the 1980s and 1990s. Yet, XML-based RPC is not a panacea (though it is quite cool), especially for those of us involved in the legacy and client-server worlds. Now, what is fascinating: the publishing world is revving up the engines on not only the XML-based RPC stuff, but also the RMI and CORBA stuff — while rarely applied to the tech industry, the old adage, “what was old is new again,” seems to fit well here. This review describes this über-cool trend from the RMI perspective, with a focus on Java RMI (O’Reilly) by William Grosso.” [Slashdot]

A replacement will eventually have to be found, he said, but it is not at all clear who will provide this replacement.
Blue Robot: CSS FOUC (Flash of Unstyled Content) “Just one LINK element or SCRIPT element inside a document’s HEAD element will prevent a flash of unstyled content.”
Meryl Evans: “The
CSS test files help you destruct a Web site, whether it be for finding leftover font tags or for seeing how a Web site has been constructed.”
CNET: .NET morphing over time ‘As Microsoft prepares to launch the first trials of .Net My Services this fall, key details of the plan are still “not figured out,” said Jim Allchin, Microsoft’s group vice president in charge of Windows and server software development. “I think we just got ahead of ourselves and didn’t get clear enough thinking,” he said, echoing similar concerns
voiced last August.’
