I recently went out to eat dinner with my family, and ordered a simple grilled chicken breast.  What I received was something that caught my eye:

This is exactly the way the plate was presented to me upon arrival.  Now, compare to this:

It’s not every day you get a continent served up to you on a plate.  Complete with Tasmania, no less.

You may be asking what this has to do with Mozilla.  Well… nothing, really, but I thought it was the sort of oddball thing that would amuse you.

The documentation for alternative style sheets is done, complete with a working sample you can toy with.

I’m not sure why I had such a mental block about working on this documentation for so long.  It’s an absurdly simple concept.  I must have been thinking about something else.

Anyway… there it is.  Enjoy.

I’ve just completed the documentation for offline caching support in Firefox 3, and I figured I’d share the goodness.  This is going to be a great thing for developers of web applications, making it easier to make apps available to users even when they don’t have an Internet connection.

What’s great about this is that it’s insanely easy to do.  Just create a cache manifest file (the syntax of which is so simple, it doesn’t even scare me) and reference it using the new “manifest” attribute on the HTML tag.

I guess next on my plate is to work on writing up alternative style sheets.  Good times!
