View-Source Is Good? Discuss.
Yes, "view source" is good. It's basically the best thing ever. We learn by example – and the fact that stuff like this is "open" helped HTML/CSS/JS to get the importance it has these days.
Unite, die zweite
Da es gerade die Frage gab, inwieweit man bei Opera Unite von Opera abhängig ist – die Antwort lautet: Sehr. Das ganze läuft über die Proxy-Infrastruktur von Opera, damit ist auch ein eventuelles Filtern relativ leicht möglich. Detailliertere Gedanken dazu bei Chris Messina.
Opera Unite
Ganz schicke Sache – Opera Unite, quasi ein Webbrowser mit integriertem Webserver. Etwas sehr ähnliches gibt es auch für Nokia-Handies. Der erste Schritt zu einem nett cloud-igen Mesh, leider ist man (noch?) von Opera abhängig, was die URL angeht.

A Flock Of Seagulls
Gestern habe ich noch groß rumgetönt, wie schön stabil Flock bei mir läuft. Prompt stürzt er mir heute morgen im Dreivierteltakt ab.
Jetzt reicht’s.
Diesen dämlichen Firefox mit seinen andauernden Abstürzen sowohl unter Windows als auch unter OS X starte ich nur noch, wenn ich Firebug oder die Web Developer Toolbar brauche. Bis dahin gebe ich Opera eine neue Chance.
