If someone was to say “quick – recommend me 5 Firefox extensions that you depend on to do your job” what would be in your list? Here’s mine…

• ColorZilla
• MeasureIt
• Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer
• IE Tab
• Web Developer (of course)

(Doh! So many to choose from – maybe I should have said list 10.)

The hREsume Team over at Spur have recently released hresume Creator, an online form that will convert your resume data into HTML code that you can copy-n-paste into a web page you have control over.

The hResume creator also includes a ping notification service that allows you to notify any number of hResume Ping services whenever you have updated your resume on your site.

The hREsume Team are also responsible for the hResume plugin for Wordpress which creates a new page in your Wordpress blog specifically designed to present your resume in a visual form that is viewable by both people and computers.

Both the plug-in and the hResume Creator automatically embed semantic markup as specified in the hResume Microformat, making resumes more easily available to computers operated by employers and employment websites.

Elsewhere in the world of hResume, David Janes has updated his Almost Universal Microformats Parser with support for hResume. There’s also currently a breakout discussion concerning the “contact info” portion of the hResume schema occuring.

Yahoo! has just aquired jumpcut

Jumpcut is a video site, but the coolness is their web-based online video editor. With an easy to understand Flash interface you can rearrange and trim clips and add snazzy transitions. Also cool: you can email video from the video camera on your mobile phone to the site. Every video has a “remix” button, that when clicked makes the video you’re watching editable and mixable with your own content or other content on the site.”

Thought this might inspire anyone currently building their own web application!

I stumbled into a problem a few months back where my print style sheets were being ignored by Firefox (shock! horror!).

After a bit of investigation it seemed that print was generally a weak point for Firefox, so I chalked up my problem as one of Firefox’s rare failings.

But now, thanks to a tip off in [css-d], I’ve discovered the real reason behind the problem, namely the title attribute in the <link /> tag. This attribute doesn’t have ’side effects’ when used in other elements, but in <link /> tags for external style sheets it appears too when really it is  just handled differently.

It’s all to do with persistent, preferred and alternate stylesheets. To learn why it’s handled differently, and why the result varies from browser to browser, please read: “Correctly Using Titles With External Stylesheets“
