The recent post on TUAW about streaming your iTunes library over the internet inspired me to stop using SimplifyMedia and to roll my own solution. The downside was that I found that the software TUAW linked to did not consistantly work. Worse was that the Mac specific version of the application did not work on Leopard.
I compiled a fresh version of the application that works on Leopard. Its much nicer than the generic Java version. When you run it you’ll notice a new icon in your menu bar.
Click on it and you will be able to set up the hosts as they describe in the directions at TUAW.

IE 6 famously lacks support for CSS 2.1’s max-width and max-height properties. Most solutions involve an IE 6-exclusive expression(…) with an inline conditional:
max-width: 100px;
width: expression(this.clientWidth > 102 ? "100px" : "auto");
Despite the apparent success of this technique, I’ve still found the inline conditional to be intermittently problematic. A slightly different take on the same solution has worked better for me:
max-width: 100px;
width: expression(Math.min(this.clientWidth, 100) + "px");
Shorter, and IMO, marginally more elegant… if any IE hack could bear that label.
