Oy. Ok, I tried to like it, I really did. I used to for almost a week now. It is faster than Seamonkey, but I’m really missing some features, and tonight, I hit the wall. First, I can’t middle-click from Mailnews anymore, because it opens a link in a new Mozilla tab, instead of a […]
Here’s a new category for links I’m compelled to share. They’re Made Out Of Meat Klein bottles: The first person to buy me one gets a present. A Penny for your thoughts: Frame one of this strip rocks. Blatant plug Astronomy Picture of the Day: Educational and cool. That’s all for today. You may resume […]
Boris Zbarsky and commenters replying to him made some great points. Warning, he describes feelings as opposed to facts, so don’t freak out. I’ve finally been able to pin down what it is that really bugs me about Firefox, by the way. It’s not having a say in the behavior of a product in which […]
After four years under German occupation, Paris is now free. Last night, the French 2nd Armoured Division under General Philippe Leclerc was the first Allied force to enter the city, greeted by loud cheers from Parisians after many days of fighting between the Resistance and the German occupiers. Sixty years ago today, General Dwight Eisenhower […]
[03:25] * Wolf loves the part where people think aviary meetings are top secret and filled with ideas on how to take away more features. 😉 [03:26] <nosebleed> they aren’t? [03:26] <jesus_X> they’re not?
A lot of work is happening with respect to Firefox even though Ben is currently off in Kiwiland. It just seems that it’s work in removing stuff that’s happening lately. It’s been coming to light the various features that are being hidden due to not-ready-for-prime-time issues, which is valid in many cases. Not so in […]
Woo! I’ve updated some things here at the electron pile. I’ve added four new link buttons for Firefox, Thunderbird, Mozilla, and MozNews (which I help run), and some text links to other parts of the site previously accessible only via magic incantations. I’ve also opened up user accounts for readers to help try and prevent […]
For the hell of it, I got a Google IPO Auction Bidder ID. Not that I had the money to buy any, just for kicks. This morning, some interesting info came through the pipe. Please be advised that the prospectus for the offering of Google’s Class A common stock will be amended to change the […]
Surprisngly, when I reposted my Mozilla Password Manager Tricks page, I got a huge influx of traffic. Apparently, this still useful, which is gratifying. Especially since there is a “Show Passwords” button in the Password Manager in newer versions of Mozilla. Now, for a while (off and on) I’ve been trying to figure out how […]
I have a 1996 Dodge Neon, and I think the fuel pump is dying, but I’m not a car guy. It chokes and sputters going up decent hills, and over 45 or 50 on flat roads on an average day (say, 70 degrees). I can go faster on cooler days, and maybe only 40-45 on […]
