Sometimes, when Google has one of those seasonal logos I click on it - to see what it’s about. Just now I noticed that the Google logo has a red planet with some little aliens representing the first “O” in Google. Out of curiosity I clicked on it, the image links to Google Mars, which is like Google Maps. Unfortunately it can’t be used with Google Earth client.

The blurb claims these are some of the most detailed maps of Mars ever made. I don’t know if the maps cover the whole planet, as admittedly my Martian geography is pretty poor.

Just for the fun of it I tried moon.google.com and it resolves. Go take a look and make sure to zoom in

The rest of the planets don’t resolve. You can aslo get to Google Mars via mars.google.com.

I manage a server that hosts multiple websites and serves over 100 Gigs of content per month. This month’s stats show that Firefox accounts for 18 % of all hits. In January Firefox accounted for just 5 % of all hits, by June it accounted for 10.8 % of hits. Seems like a lot of people are making the change to a safer, modern browser. The host machine serves non-technical content, so it’s not just the tech savvy who are using Firefox.

hmmm … methinks I forgot to add a patch back in after the upgrade … anyways all the math markup is completley screwed up - looks like i’ll have to reformat it when i have time - there has got to be an easier way to do this - maybe is hould just stick to postscript - like i used to long ago ?

it’s getting better - applied the patch for itex2mml and things are rendering better - even though i can’t seem to get the matrices to display properly
