Screenshot Series #5

The screenshot series continues with yet another medieval shot, taken on 2002-12-10. I think this is one of the shot I taken to be sent to #mozilla regarding their rendering bug. Was a green PHP coder back then. Using Notepad!!! (Nah …)

It was when Firefox was Phoenix, and it was at a very beta level. IE5 was quite a stable and capable browser (at the time). Notice the lack of CSS dashed border support, escaped HTML character misrendering, and the box sizing difference (this one still prevails, as CSS2 still does not dictate exactly on inclusion/exclusion of border width, and there you are, browser quirks).

Desktop goodies like BeOS-like window theming and icons are as always my defaults.

Another screenie around the same period. Was doing localization for LeechGet, and Yahoo Messenger custom BeOS theme aka BeMessenger.

Found the above screenshots on my previous blog’s development archive, along with tons of other treasures. I have created at least 5 blog application prototypes that have never seen public usage (other than niji.sytes.net). At least one of it was properly planned (named it “cri”, for “shout” in french), had a templating engine, database abstraction, and was inspired by WordPress when they were just a small player back then. Other stuffs in the undone code archive were 2 uploaders, 1 image uploader, 2 chatboxes. All still there frozen in the zip.
