8.26.98 - GnomeNEWS It seems that some people are going ga-ga over this thing called XML--stating that it'll be the death of HTML. Well, I'll believe it when I see it. That I know of, XML is perfect if you want to create databases and track information... perfect. But what if you just want to throw up a simple homepage? A resume? It has taken me a long time to develop my HTML coding skills; I do everything in Notepad (and/or Homesite). I am not looking forward to the day when everything is WYSIWYG. I have a bad feeling that XML code will be nearly impossible for the average person to translate and tweak. Look at DHTML today--it's great, but impossible to do by hand. I love HTML for it's simplicity. Sure, we don't have perfection with certain things. But if you came to me asking for a page to look "this way," I could probably bang something out within a day or two. Nothing fancy, no database info, no tracking info, just a nice looking page... in HTML. Something anybody could do. Will XML be the same? What about XSL? GnomePROGRAM Chris Pirillo's IP Checker v5.0 [246k] W9x/NT4 FREE Yep, I co-authored this program. It's an extremely fast IP checker which should resolve between 1500 and 2000 URLs per minute. It works interactively to help keep your local 'hosts' file up to date. The 'hosts' file is used by your browser to locate URLs on the Internet. As the IP for each URL must be resolved before it can be accessed, having a local cache of IP addresses can save you considerable time when browsing online. CIP will make editing the 'hosts' file super simple, and give you much more information than if you edited it by hand. CIP goes a step further than merely annotating URL/IP pairs: it verifies your data and records when the verification was completed. And it sits quietly in your system tray, allowing you to add/remove URLs easily and quickly. [ DOWNLOAD ] [ VISIT SITE ]

GnomeCANDY Mr. Bean Icons v1.0 [18k] W9x/NT4 FREE There are very few comedians who can make me laugh so hard I can't breathe. Rowan Atkinson is one of them. If you've ever seen his comedy specials, then you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't, then get yourself to a video store and rent his old episodes. Don't judge him on the movie, though, as it wasn't as "hot" as his smaller skits. Anyway, Bean fans can sprinkle 17 icons all over their Desktop. NOTE: while this Bean does not cause gas, prolonged exposure is not recommended for some. [ DOWNLOAD ] [ VISIT SITE ]
GnomeFAVORITE Betanews.com A day doesn't pass without a new beta coming into the public's eye. Betas, for those who don't know, are like pre-versions of software filled with bugs yet to be squished. Sometimes betas can be bad, but often they're no different than a final build. You could spend all day surfing around for the latest beta, but why do that when BetaNews does it for you?

GnomeDESKTOP FONT: Pipe Dream [18k] My water faucets leak, the shower doesn't have enough hot water, and the drain smells kinda funny... this apartment is a plumber's worst (or best) nightmare. Mario & Luigi would feel right at home, I'm sure. Install your own Desktop Plumber today and kiss those watery woes away. Or hire someone else to install it for you? [ DOWNLOAD ] [ VISIT SITE ]
GnomeTIP
You heard me mention the IntelliMouse in an earlier HTML issue;
here's something that I recently discovered, and something most of
you probably already knew about. While you're scrolling with the
wheel, hold onto the CTRL key. If you're in an Office 97
application, the document will zoom in and out. BUT, also try it
in IE4! The fonts will get bigger and smaller.
