what we need is a javascript hack, to change the addressbar green! I figure that if you have solid ssl, then you have every right to make your bar green as well! so if anyone decideds to write it, of finds it let me know -Eric

Hi Tom, what’s up? I’ll send you an email with my info.

Yeah, the blog is getting more and more out of date. I have plenty of interesting stuff to post about – I’ve been working on lots of interesting projects – but there hasn’t been anywhere near enough time left to blog. Right now, blogging is just one more item on my to-do list I never get to. This blog post is a little bit older than 3 months, though.

“UAE prompt” = typo for “Vista UAC prompt” (not that spellcheck likes either one).

Who reads 3-month-old blogs; PJ does. What’s a UAE prompt anyway? I’ve got an idea about that.

We should catch up….

It could end up that way, but right now, I doubt it. The Green bar is a Vista only thing and I’ve been using Vista and Office 2007 on my personal desktop for a week or so and there are a lot of distractions to keep me from noticing the background color of IE’s address bar. First, Vista flashes and prompts for many things at seemingly random times. Often, my desktop flashes all black for a second or so for no apparent reason. Maybe Explorer has crashed? Maybe Windows was planning to show the UAE prompt, then thought better of it? The new menus and toolbars in Office 2007 are crazy. It doesn’t help that Outlook, the program I use the most, has old style menus in the main program, but the new Office 2007 style menus and toolbars in its other windows (messages, contacts, etc.). In Vista, I find myself trying not to look at the top part of applications… instead, I’m desperately digging around for keyboard shortcuts so I don’t have to deal with the new mega toolbars.

I can see the future,

Green bar snobs, people who have bought from larger online e-tailers and suddenly think that it would be unsafe to shop anywhere, a green bar is not present.
