How to fix SSL errors in Mac OS X browsers

So you know about SSL (or rather TLS) and you prefer things secure, so you request and pay for an officially signed certificate and configure your Apache to use it. The next days you’re feeling very Kevin Mitnicky, until some nitwit on Twitter trashes you for the ugly error-message he sees when trying to visit … Read more

Browser release schedule heaven and hell

“What browser should this be tested in?” Remember 2003, when that question was rarely asked because there was virtually only Internet Explorer? Or 2006, when you could get away with just IE6 and Firefox 1.5? 5 years later the browser landscape has become a lot more complex. You’ve don’t only have to consider Internet Explorer, … Read more
