Happy July 4th, for those who have it off... Renesis 0.7 was released today and so was Firefox 3 Alpha 6 - so I spent an hour or so wading through the SVG Test Suite to update my SVG Support page. Good news: Renesis 0.7 has made great strides in the last two months. Bad News: Despite Firefox 3 Alpha 6 having some new functionality (a couple filters were added), there were some regressions. If I can find the time, I'll investigate and open some bugs.

Another thing: I can't get Renesis to work on any of my embedded SVG files or SVG served via PHP. Something I'll have to bring up with the Emiasys guys...

Simple Question: Is there a way to change a running window from Display A to Display B? For instance, if I have an instance of an application running on my Linux box at home, is there a command that will remove the window from the display at home and re-route it my Windows laptop running Xming and PuTTY? Or am I forced to use some VNC to get what I want?

At home we've all been pretty sick the last week or so. As a result, I only recently caught this nugget. Molly Holzschlag suggests that all work should stop on HTML5, XHTML 1.1+ (and presumably CSS3?). Instead she wants everyone to "COMPLETE HTML 4.1 [sic], XHTML 1.0 and CSS 2.1 in specs and browsers where applicable", then "WAIT for future HTML, XHTML and CSS implementations until these implementations are complete". I can forgive the typo of HTML 4.1, but what left me reeling was that someone like Molly doesn't understand the reasons her suggestions are so impossible. Read the rest of this entry ...
