Chris Casciano’s Place Name Here

Oops. Looks like I brushed aside the browser report updates around here last month. That’s OK, cause its all up to date now — both here and here. Like most months I’ve had to update the script I use just a bit to account for new user agents that come up this time with a few more bots trying to spoof Firefox, and a few new sightings in the “fun” category:

• Opera/9.00 (Nintendo Wii; U; ; 1309-9; en)
• Mozilla/5.0 (PLAYSTATION 3; 1.00)

[Wondering if that means I get to write off my Wii as a business expense?]

Checking in on this busy Friday afternoon with a news of a new Camino Plugin for managing user agent string, updates to this site’s monthly reports, and some interesting conference session audio.

Wevah, of derailer.org and Paparazzi! fame this week released a simple addition for Camino to manage the user agent string the browser presents to web sites in the form of a User Agent prefpane. Nifty little tool for those cases you need it, and a fun icon too.

Around these parts I finally got around to updating the Place Name Here Zeitgeist and ChunkySoup.net Zeitgeist to include information from June 2006.

And in podcast & conference news the SXSW site has recently posted a few listen-worthy sessions from their 2006 interactive event including the WaSP Annual Meeting, How to Maintain a Design Playground with Dustin & Jemma Hostetler and Curt Cloninger, Tantek Çelik & Chris Messina’s Microformat panel and others.
