I whole heartedly agree - htaccess and virtual host rules were such a pain in Apache, I've really come to appreciate how easy it was to get nginx setup in comparison.


There are quite a few jQuery web tour applications out there, but I found that when working in a corporate environment many of them didn't work ... or just didn't work right in IE7/8. I put together this web tour jQuery application and have successfully used it and had no issues with older browsers, because of that it doesn't look as 'pretty' out of the box since it relies on CSS3 to pretty it up a bit for the newer browsers, but it works.

It's pretty light weight and was my first foray into Javascript prototypes, and while I'm sure there are bugs, although I haven't encountered any game breaking ones myself. The GitHub is up at https://github.com/drazion/Crimson-Tour - if you notice any irregularities or issues, any and all tips or suggestions to improve it would be appreciated.


that's a silly, yet creative, take on using WebGL - bravo


most browsers don't encrypt your locally stored password ... if you've not setup a master password on Firefox it's accessible there in plaintext as well to almost anyone with the knowledge.

Firefox: Tools->Options->Security click on Saved Passwords button.

Does Chrome need a master password system? Yes Is Chrome non-standard by not encrypting the locally stored passwords? Not really
