css3 multi-column layout with javascript

I just got a link from a friend with an ingenous code. It provides the posibility to change normal Text plots into a multiple columns layout.

The cool thing, it is a javascript providing the possibility to use the new css3 features for multi-columns in css.

check it out!

Thunderbird Attachment Problems

Since i had a Harddiskcrash and reinstalled my System new, i also changed my local Email Program to Thunderbird.

But now i have serious Troubles getting Attachments from Outlook Sender... the Attachments i receive all are called Part1.2 ..

I am having a gmail Account and therefore i also checked it over the Browser.. the Attachments look all very good.

In the web i just found the following:
Actually it's a compatibility issue between Outlook and Thunderbird (Mozilla). It is because Thunderbird cannot decode the MS-TNEF MIME format HTML or Picture which was composed into the mail body by Outlook. You can find the MS-TNEF BASE64 encoding part in the mail source, and Thunderbird regards this part as an attachment named Part1.2.
------_=_NextPart_000_01C4E756.ED7E9F5E
Content-Type: application/ms-tnef
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
since that Post was written December 21, 2004, i hoped there is already a fix or something for it.. but i am unable to find one...

any ideas?

FireFox 1.5 Beta and Extensions

As everywhere posted the beta of Firefox 1.5 is out. I have to say, the new handling of the tabs is ingenious..
Unfortunately some extensions are not working with the beta.. now i hope there will be updates to them or the final of Firefox will be able to work with them...

I mean, the last update from Venkman was in August 11, 2004... so i don't think there will be a new one in the next days... and without Venkman javascript coding will get as ugly as before Venkman ;-(
