Mozilla Vulnerable

Mozilla is partly vulnerable to the latest web browser security hole, as reported by Mozillazine.
Patch already exists. Should hopefully be in soon. I have a good feeling Mozilla will beat Microsoft to the fix. IIRC Microsoft is taking the month off from patches, while it figures out the whole update system.

Anyone else think some dev’s don’t blog enough

I say this because all to often, Ben Goodger’s checkin’s make me curious
XPInstall UI… Not done just yet but getting closer.
That’s about all we see. No screenshots, no blogging.
Some of the Bugzilla bugs are rather vague as to whats being done. Not to much details. IMHO it would be nice [...]

New AIM Beta Kicks Ass

New AIM Beta Kicks some serious butt:
- Video Chat (yes that’s right, AOL finally caught up).
- Multiple SN’s at once. Just like DeadAIM was doing (for pay). Multiple buddy lists.
I’ve got a few issues though:
With multiple profiles online at once, that leaves some serious spam/harassment potential. Think about it. [...]

Mozilla 1.6b Arrives

If you haven’t yet, download now. It’s a neat release, seems pretty stable so far, and it’s beta.
Download the updated lizard, and spread the goodness.

Palm OS Address Program

Does Palm OS 5 support “Contacts” or “Address” as the address book program?
From how I see it, all but 3 models, use Address. But I have yet to see this in writing beyond a reasonable doubt (I just made my conclusion based on my findings). Can anyone help David and myself [...]

Tis very sad

Teen in Suicide Leap at Time Sq. Hotel, (Other linkage: NY Times, Newsday, NY Daily News) not exactly a pleasant headline to read. Worse, when you hear it’s someone you knew back in the day from school(s), and read their name in print.
I remember reading a while back when someone else did the same [...]

Why can’t I save Image Map’s?

Here, and here. Why can’t I save an image map by right clicking and just saving as?
I can view source, and copy the URL of the image, then save as. But that’s beside the point.
On Mozilla 1.5.
Is there a reason for this existing in a release? I can’t [...]

Tis a busy day

Already cleaned snow (damn snow plow blocked the driveway, as usual), for the third time this weekend. Worked out, going to take a shower and eat. After that, I get to write my 4th speech for public speaking, make a visual, program, study for finals, and of course watch the Simpsons, and Malcolm [...]

Best laptop HD ever

It’s seems amazing. The Hitachi Travelstar 7K60 is an amazing hard drive. It’s blazing fast, and 7200 RPM (that’s the same as most desktops). Unlike the 4200 drives that ship in most laptops.
It’s given me a giant improvement on my system. I really feel the difference. On boot, [...]

Nvu Progress

If your not checking Daniel Glazman’s blog on a daily basis, you really should be. I wish more developers would blog like he does. Checkout the latest screenshot. I hope that color picker makes it to Mozilla soon. That’s real sweet.
Seriously. Keep an eye on that blog. [...]
