I just noticed that Firefox 3 beta 1 was released yesterday. The new version is based on the new Gecko 1.9 rendering platform which has had some serious work done on it. Other changes include added security, increased ease of use and improved performance i.e. they’ve gotten around to addressing some of the memory leakage [...]
On the canvas alright, but not out for the count. I’ve missed blogging and might just have to start up again to release all these pent up feeling that have been stirrin’ this past few months. While I try to think of a comeback post I’ll leave you with something I spotted today. The following [...]
The term Web 2.0 has been floating around for a couple of years now and until a while ago I had absolutely no idea what it meant. “Could it be another version of the internet?” thought I. Perhaps a parallel internet so we’d have de current internet and then anudder internet because 2 internets is [...]
Winzip must be one of the most popular data compression programs, with good reason, it’s one of the best programs available, in my own humble opinion. Winzip has always been a commercial program, which means after the evaluation period you are supposed to pay for a licence key. In the past however you could keep [...]
Since Santy was such a miserly cunt this year (ok, he wasn’t really) I decided to buy myself a couple of prezzies. The first is a book on CSS: CSS Mastery by Andy Budd. I am striving to become a CSS Master, at the moment i’m more of a CSS Padawan and have some more [...]

You can edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page.” If you’re any way interested in web design this extension is very simply a must-have [...]
I had a bit of a mishap yesterday. I installed Firefox on a PC at work, installed the Foxmarks extension to download my bookmarks which are stored online, changed my mind, disabled the extension (but forgot to restart) and deleted the bookmarks. When I got home I noticed that Foxmarks had overwritten the online bookmark [...]
Time for just one more tonight. I was scouring through my domain earlier, trying to delete a lot of old shit which is taking up space on my server when I found some of my earliest blog posts. This post may or may not be my first but it was definitely one of the earliest [...]
Did anyone watch the short documentary on RTÉ yesterday about Chinese workers … China Blue? I took particular interest in this because I have visited China on a number of occasions and have seen first hand the conditions some workers have to live/work in. So I’d like to share my own experiences. Now that i’m [...]
