A couple of days ago I posted about a bandwidth issues, that had recently been happening. If you didn't read the post click here Bandwidth amount is no longer a problem as I have just bumped my account to 80GB per month, and you'd think wow your not crazy, thats exactly what I think too, but im still using about 4 GB per day, well it's usually around 3.94 GB and does vary slightly, but the usage is very much high.
In the past month or so I have wrote three articles/tutorials on various CSS3 elements that the developers of CSS3 have been working on, I've shown you some of my favorite new features such as the border-radius attribute and box-shadow, but I have had to stress on each article that only certain browsers will allow to use CSS3 modules and elements. The main two browsers that have supported CSS3 along it's on going development path are Mozilla Firefox and Safari, both using there own frameworks the moz and webkit, with Mozilla constantly making revisions to there browser and currently working on Mozilla Firefox 3.1 (Currently in BETA) alot of CSS3 is supported and able to be displayed, similar with Safari, particularly the latest version of Safari (which is version 4 BETA) packs in more CSS3 into the webkit and like Mozilla people are able to use CSS3 and see the effects.
Okay im not really the guy to post about news related stuff as James' Blog is not a news blog, (thats what BBC news is for!) but I have been partial to post about events such as when everyone thought the world was going to end, you know that big Hadron Collider (Which somehow my post got onto Indian Television!) But anyway the latest news recently thats breaking headlines and always on the frontpage is the Swine Flu pandemic. Yes it's now a pandemic (Im not too sure it should of been raised to one) but thats just me. The flu mainly harvested by pigs and orginating from mexico, anyone unlucky to be a tourist there at this time has a chance of contracting the flu, but I really think the media should tone down on how there going about reporting on Swine Flu.
If your up to date in the technology scene you will know that a couple of years ago Google released yet another of there 'innovative' products Google street. Examples of other innovations that they've had is Google Docs and Google Earth. The list goes on really. Google Street, which is an addition to google maps and say it's addition, as it allows someone to actually pyschically see the street of a place they search, instead of the bird's eye satellite view that products like Google Earth use. I hadn't really been aware of Google Street, because at it's release it was only being trailed on places on the USA, but since then it has expanded massively and now street views are avaliable for places in the United States, United Kingdom, Netherlands, France, Italy, Spain, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. Like I said I wasn't really to bothered about this new google street until I found that the UK was now it's next 'victim' and just this morning I found out that I've been caught by the infamous Google car (Which was used to take pictures of the streets)
The Love hate relationship between coders and browsers

Back in January 2009 I did a somewhat new year suprise to you all and made the new 2009 theme, "Renovatio" for James' Blog more of a suprise than anything as I'd been developing the theme and did not make any post about it, and one day *poof* new theme to James' Blog and I got very good responces from people saying it was a good improvement and they really liked it, but the theme took longer than expected because of display issues in different browsers. Which brings me onto a somewhat article/rant about browsers.
Im not a big fan of online auctioning, I don't really feel secure, plus you have to have some form of plan before you bid otherwise you'll probably end up losing a bidding war approximately 100% of the time, to me it seems to much work just to get product, perhaps it's cheaper and your making a saving, but your still putting a effort in to get a product which might not get at the end of it. But last night, I got a taste of what online auctioning and bidding was like. And I've got to say How freaking intense is eBay! I mean wow, you'd think that because it's online it's less intense, but my god it's so the opposite!
