My first attempt at making a Plurk theme, hurrah! Of course, I didn’t do the CSS from scratch. Despite the many revisions I had to make to the timeline background, I still like how this one turned out. A dark theme with bright highlights, for the love of music, with a hint of oldschool.

For kicks, I’m sharing this theme here. You can see it in action on my own Plurk profile. Thanks to Columbia btw for the constructive criticism! :]

So I just updated my Firefox to version 3.0 — released today in this region. It’s supposedly more efficient in terms of memory, and provides more safety. Naturally it’s hard to really tell at this point, so I’m just gonna nod, smile, and keep that in mind as I keep using it. Thanks to Beta development, we already have add-ons to work with even now (I’m already using a theme similar to my old one, as you can see). One great part about Fx3.0 is that it matches the default theme with whatever system and OS you’re using. So for Mac OS X users, it’ll fit in real well.

Fx3.0 also now complies better with CSS. In fact, it passed the standard Acid2 test, meaning designers don’t need to worry about their CSS tricks. IE’s version 7 (the latest release) on the other hand, failed the test, and the upcoming IE8 is still struggling to hit that mark. Once again our Fox has won the CSS race. You’re a good little foxy, yes you are.

And the Fox chirps! If you go to the Mozilla add-ons page now, you’ll find the TwitterFox add-on, as seen on my screenshot. I’ve only been using it for an hour but I recommend it already. Granted, it suffers the same problem as other Twitter apps with the rate limit, but it’s more convenient than any of the other apps I have. Tucks away nicely when you don’t need it, and easy to pull out when you do. Love the UI too.

Go go, get your Firefox updated!
