Who Am I

Everybody call me Chandra, coz its my real name.
When i was in highschool, i've got myself a nickname: lele
which is in english mean catfish.

So now, almost everytime i met my highschool friends, they called me by
that name. Which is different with i am now, in college, i ain't got any
nickname.

But, for short, my college friends sometimes call me Cha-cha or Uchan. And
my girlfriend called me dear or honey (ofcourse...)

Bon Echo Alpha 2 Milestone

Bon Echo Alpha 2 is the second developer milestone on the path to Firefox 2. This milestone is focused on testing the core functionality provided by many new features and changes to the platform scheduled for Firefox 2. Ongoing planning for Firefox 2 can be followed at the Bon Echo Planning Center, as well as in mozilla.dev.planning and on irc.mozilla.org in #bonecho.

Changes in this milestone that require feedback include:

  • Links default to opening in new tabs, not new windows
  • Close buttons now appear on every tab, and the close behaviour is slightly different
  • Inline spell checking in text boxes
  • Automatic restoration of your browsing session if there is a crash
  • Search suggestions now appear in the search box auto-complete for Google and Yahoo!
  • New search plugin manager for removing and re-ordering search engines
  • Improved support for previewing and subscribing to web feeds
  • New microsummaries feature for bookmarks
  • New Add-Ons manager improves the user interface for managing extensions and themes
  • Updates to the extension system to provide enhanced security and to allow for easier localization of extensions
  • New search service that supports Sherlock and OpenSearch engines
  • Support for SVG text using svg:textPath

Firefox 1.5

Firefox 1.5 arrived just 1½ month ago. The perhaps biggest news with version 1.5 was the new engine which was a lot faster than the old one. Mozilla has stated that since the focus was on the new engine som other things, more shallow things, had to wait, which will now be fixed. With FireFox 2.0 it will improve the History, bookmarks, RSS, tabbed browsing, etc. In other words practical and userfriendly features which should strengthen its position with the regular users that chose Internet Explorer just because it is right there when you start the computer.
