New Faces In The Logs

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?]

  • Creating web sites for the Wii Opera browser

    Though it may be old news that Wiimote keycodes can be detected by JavaScript in the Wii Opera browser, I could not find a JavaScript library that facilitates handling these input events, so I created my own. I believe that this library is only one piece of making Wii-friendly web sites. For example, you can use CSS to ensure that you use fonts that can easily be read on the Wii. Also, buttons appear to be better navigation controls than links as links have no visual feedback when you mouse over them whereas buttons change colors upon being valid click targets. I expect other design standards for the Wii browser to emerge, and if I hope to post what I learn on this site.
