Opera is the first to pass the Acid3 Test!

Congratulations to the Opera Desktop Team for being the first browser to reach 100% on the dom portion of the Acid3 test!

So far, only an internal build of the Opera browser is sporting 100% on the Acid3 test. They’ve also announced that a technical preview of the internal Opera build that appears in the screenshot below will be posted on labs.opera.com in approximately a week.

The screenshot above shows the Acid3 test as rendered in our latest WinGogi Desktop build. WinGogi is the Windows version of our reference builds used for the internal testing of Opera’s platform independent Core.

The contest came down to WebKit vs. Opera. Opera’s latest weekly build, which is available on the Desktop Team blog, scores a 77/100 on the acid3 test. WebKit had announced that they had achieved a score of 96/100 very recently! However, soon after WebKit’s announcement, Opera announced that they had achieved 98/100 and less than a day later 100/100! CSS3.info has a good read about this on their website. You can find that here.

Easter and Dueling Pianos

easterHappy Easter everyone! (it’s a bit late, but you’ll see why it took me a little while to post it ;) ) I hope everyone had a great holiday and some fantastic food!

I just went home and rested most of holiday. I did have time to do some servicing and repairs to my car while I was home. I changed most of the fluids and repaired some panels on the interior that were sagging and loose. Unfortunately I didn’t have time to repair the headliner where it’s sagging and the clothe is falling down a bit. After that I mostly just enjoyed good home cooking! I had steak, potatoes, green beans, corn, rolls, etc…basically the works! :D

The Grove Park Inn Resort & Spa turned out to be an extremely fun and interesting place in Asheville, NC for the late night lifestyle!! The bar in the lower level, Elaine’s Dueling Piano Bar, was the interesting part! I recorded a list of the songs that they played and have compiled it into another list for you to inspect and enjoy!
