He also gives some great tips on how to use the @font-face CSS 3 property correctly without falling in the several implementation pitfalls that browsers like IE 8 have to offer.

airpapr markdown
The last week we have been working on a new branch of airpapr. Until now, airpapr used the TinyMCE javascript WYSIWYG editor to edit text. While a WYSIWYG editor enables novice users to easily create articles with airpapr, some users find a it cumbersome and overloaded for there needs. That's why we created a new, sperate version of airpapr that doesn't have a WYSIWYG editor, but now lets users write there articles with the markdown markup language.

Since the launch of the airpapr development blog, a lot as happened in the development of airpapr. First of all we started to switch the airpapr database connection driver form the old mysql database extensions to PHP\'s new PHP Data Objects (PDO) database abstraction layer. This means you don\'t have (but of curse you still can) use MySQL with airpapr any more. Now airpapr supports a wide variety of database, from SQLite over Microsoft SQL Server to PostgreSQL, among others.

airpapr has been in development for two years now, and now, on the 24th of December 2010, airpapr finally gets a home on the world wide web.
