New Mozilla.org

As undoubtably, everyone will blog in the next 24 hours… New mozilla.org has been launched. Looks great. Also has a wonderful end user focus.
One thing I would do, is make a subdomain for corporate customers. Gear the same information, but corporate advantages (why Mozilla is good for an organization). How to [...]

Quick shoutout to standards

Just a real quick shoutout to standards. MacVillage.net’s News System… currently in development, will support valid RSS feeds. That’s right. Valid. I implemented the feature last night. It’s working with relative success (still not complete, but valid).
Still to be done is indexing, searching, mailing, and several dozen bugs. [...]

Caricatures

My friend Eddy drew some great caricature’s of a bunch of pals. During the PSAT’s. That shows how serious High School senors really are about those stupid tests. It was even more immature during the HSPA’s.
Had these posted a few years ago, but were since removed. Anyway, there [...]

Calendar in Thunderbird

I’ve been an advocate of making Calendar an Extension for Thunderbird. I think Calendar extension is important in a Mail client, as most business users are accustomed to this (Microsoft Outlook). As a result, it makes sense for Mozilla to offer such functionality.
Besides matching, it’s also quite convenient. What 2 [...]

Way cool toys

I’ve got to admit, I’m still a little kid. Some really cool toys this year: Chicken Dance Elmo and Hokey Pokey Elmo. If only I had these when I was a little kid.

Remember when kids toys were dangerous? I had toys with metal. GI Joe [...]

Digital IQ

MSNBC has a neato quiz. I encourage all to take and share their results (if they dare). I’m [sadly] a 181. I’m not sure if I should be proud of my geekyness, or upset about it.
Oh well, cat’s out of the bag… So what’s your score?

Americas Army. Will I ever be a Special Forces Soldier?

I passed the test. Got an 80 something. Not great, but acceptable. Perhaps another time I will take it again. It’s what comes after it that I can’t manage. I can get to objective A with no trouble. But Objective B… Not by a long shot. After [...]

Server Slow

This server has been occasionally getting slow. Perhaps networking, perhaps load. If anyone finds it to be fast or slow, leave a comment. If it’s slow, a traceroute would be nice.

Americas Army 2.0

Americas Army 2.0 is out. Downloading now.
223MB patch.
Will take long time.
I’m excited. Waiting a long time already.
Joy.
Linux and Mac versions hopefully soon. For now XP Thinkpad.

Apple’s Life Cycle and Security

I don’t think I need to say I’m a Mac lover. I’ve been very satisfied with my Macs, and love OS X. But I got to agree with CNET about Apple’s recent trends.
Product Life Cycle
Apple’s been pretty firm about the 5 year rule for hardware. After that period, your not really getting [...]
