Morning all, I’ve just put the finishing touches on the first proof-of-concept Acid Test for OpenDocument Format (ODF) which I hope will become a useful tool for encouraging and testing interoperability. The tests themselves (148 of them in the 14×14 grid following the Web Standards Project‘s Acid2 test) still need development, as explained below, but […]

Getting SSL up and running on OS X is not too difficult these days. First you need to tell it to read the SSL config file (removing red lines, adding green lines): — /etc/apache2/httpd.conf 2008-06-11 03:42:25.000000000 +0200 +++ /etc/apache2/httpd.conf.dist 2008-06-11 04:15:15.000000000 +0200 @@ -470,7 +470,7 @@ #Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-default.conf # Secure (SSL/TLS) connections -#Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-ssl.conf +Include […]

New toys including 3G, GPS, […]
