Firefox 1.5

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

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.

    Sept. 22, 2001: Angela and I were married in a small town in Tennessee. On this day I know of no higher compliment to my wife than to acknowledge that I am a better man for having been married to her these last 5 years, and I have no doubt that I will continue to grow and improve so long…

    It seems that my latest webcam pic, which was taken after a successful install of Red Hat 7.1 as a “play and learn” installation, has gotten the attention of non other than Lockergnome’s head Penguin himself, Tony Steidler-Dennison. Like I said in Tony’s comments, I’m still getting paid to be a Windows guy but what’s…

    Blogrolling.com has a couple of new features. First, there’s the random “I’m feeling lucky” link that you can add to your blogroll. (See the Current Event Blogs over *pointing to the right of the page* there) Then there is the RecipRoll Code, which can automagically list the blogs who are using blogrolling to link to…
