xkcd
Wow… I just discovered xkcd. How have I not yet discovered this?
Ok and then of course I had to look at every single one, and wasted a load of time I should really have spent doing productive things
And then I decided to write this blog entry, and waste even more…
So yeah, xkcd, it’s [...]Web 2.0
Many others have linked to this video, but if you haven’t seen it already I highly recommend it.
Web 2.0!Was invented here!
Does it amuse any of you as much as it does me that MSN.com is currently prominently pushing an article recommending IE users switch to Firefox or Opera?
In the most valuable real estate on the MSN homepage (probably making it some of the most valuable real estate on the web) is an image promoting a [...]Associating files with no file extension on Windows XP
It seems file extensions aren’t so much of a requirement on Linux, and through my various Mozilla experiments I tend to end up with a lot of files with no extension. Windows doesn’t let me associate them with Notepad (actually my notepad.exe file is Notepad2, but that’s another story) and makes me right click and [...]
Updating Wordpress via SVN

While surfing around Wikipedia (I sometimes do that for hours, just reading one article and following links to others) I stumbled upon The Forer Effect - I’d always suspected this and now I can tell people that my suspicions have a fancy name while I laugh at them reading their horoscopes.
Firefox 2 Add-on Developer T-shirts
Some months ago, Mozilla decided to reward extension developers who made their extensions compatible with Firefox 2 before October 1st. However, there has been some delay getting these shirts delivered to developers. By the number of queries on the forums and mailing list, a lot of you are curious about this, and while some of [...]
Theme installation broken temporarily
It seems I did more than just break download counts - theme installation was completely fubared Our apologies - we’ve now fixed the problem (thanks to Giorgio Maone and Wladimir Palant.)
Also in the latest update, Morgamic fixed a bug which caused your add-on to be updated (as in, jump to the top of [...]I broke download counts
Yup, nobody’s AMO download counts are working right now - I’ll take the credit for that
It seems that while tidying up the install buttons for add-ons which work on multiple platforms, I added an extra span tag and the whole thing disintegrated. Ah well. In other news, I fixed a 404 with [...]
