Mail update

Following this, I think I'm happy to declare my blacktreacle email to be working again. So if you're mailing me, please use that address (elizabeth at blacktreacle.com).

In other excitements, having just discovered from Sysadmin #2 that work's policy on browsers isn't quite what I thought it was, I've just gone all Firefoxy. Opinions may be forthcoming when I have some.

Hmm... Interesting: I'm not sure there's a "policy on Browsers" here. There are people using IE, NS 4.76 and some reasonably current version of Mozilla. And me, with Opera.

Some of the policy (that of the MIS team) is "produce HTML that works on all browsers, and don't introduce unnecessary garbage". The Creative Services team, on the other hand, don't seem to know what they're doing (the CSS files include styles such as small, medium and large, which specify the point sizes of fonts, and the fact that the foreground colour should be black!). They also, conveniently, include "larger" and "smaller" links at the top of the pages. For those people who can't figure out how to reconfigure their browsers.

OUP's policy, on the other hand, seemed to be "IE everywhere, especially in the cases where it doesn't work. Where we'll blame Mozilla for being incompatible."

Am slowly moving over to Firefox from Opera (which is a lovely browser that I'm very happy with, but not happy enough to put up with ATi's driver download page fatally crashing the browser 2 times out of 3).

My First Firefox Question

[venta.livejournal.com]

Is it possible to set up a bunch of links and have a simple method of saying "open all these in a bunch of tabs" ? Simple = no more than one button away.

I know you can set a bunch of links as a homepage, that's not what I want. I don't want this bunch of links opening every time I start my browser up.

I know you can put a bunch of links in a folder, and use the "open in tabs" button: that isn't simple enough :)

Thanks for any help.
