cloße, but no ßigar.
the text-transform: upper; css definition is very nice. however, it's not very well supported for special cases (like the german ß ligature) by neither iexplorer nor firefox, for example:
firefox is großartig!
firefox is großartig!*
* internet explorer will display "FIREFOX IS GROßARTIG" and firefox itself will drop the last character and show "FIREFOX IS GROSSARTI"
fortunately, a simple additional space will fix the ß-tranformation at least for firefox:
firefox is großartig !

regarding the current opera buffo austriae one might think that 2005 is not the year of the austrian republic'S anniversary but rather the year of its teething troubles or even its demise. almost incredible.
and, as usual, the silence ("talkin' loud and sayin' nuttin') of the conservative lambs is hardly to stand.
as if the death of the pope and, in consequence, the proclamation of the austrian theocracy yesterday was not enough already.
mmmh, antville in the news again: one of the rare austrian coverages about blogging which does not forget to mention our "notorious" little piece of software. thanks, derstandard.at, it feels great!
better than prophane.

last century's promise of anti-gravity (and besides also the one of augmented reality) for me finally comes closer to its fulfillment thanks to harmonix' antigrav console game. i'm absolutely loving it!
