Firefox 1.5

Silly me, I saw all the news about Firefox version 1.5 being out and went to check it out before I stopped to think about how many extensions wouldn’t work yet. So I’ve spent far too much time trying to track down updates to extensions that the updater within Firefox couldn’t find yet, and then trying to figure out which Greasemonkey scripts don’t work with the update to that extension. Basically, a whole bunch of stuff doesn’t work. I’m, frankly, not sure upgrading this quickly was worth it. I’m not seeing a whole lot of improvements to the browser that make up for the the stuff like adding tags to these posts without having to type them or spellcheck my posts in the browser that I suddenly can’t do like I used to.

    According to the last edition of the LangaList, Agnitum has a free firewall out, and a release candidate for the Pro version of Outpost . A quick look at it makes it seem pretty cool, maybe an alternative to Zone Alarm. But it looks like the pay version will be way better than the free…

    While most of Friday night and Saturday revolved around the grand search for new dining room chairs, yesterday was pretty much an all-hockey day! We went to see “Miracle” early in the day, and got back home in time to catch the NHL All-Star Game on TV. The movie was pretty good, although I will…

  • Is Gmail doubling storage?

    Given the date, I’m a little skeptical of everything I’m reading today. After reading about Kevin leaving In the Trenches I am on high alert for any kind of April Fool’s joke. But many people seem to think that Gmail is, in fact, upping the email storage. That’s cool with me. Guess I really didn’t…
