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 [...]
Humidity Sucks
I don’t care if it gets up to 40˚C (hell, maybe even 45˚C), just so long as it remains dry heat. I can’t stand humidity, even if it’s only 25˚C
Want to make browsing a bit cooler?
This is definitely in the realm of eye-candy, and has no functional value whatsoever, but I just discovered Tab Effect - it makes changing tabs in Firefox a whole lot more fun For those of you familiar with Compiz, it’s got that kind of feel to it. For those who haven’t, check out this [...]
Astrology?
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.
Does she have it?
Hey, I reckon she does! A quick shameless plug for Anita who’s recently got my feet tapping with her tunes. Lessons to Learn is my favourite, but Crocodile Tears and Bite The Bullet are both good too. Now I can’t wait for more of course!
Searching for my towel
Yes, I am searching for my towel. This does not bode well for the coming weekend.

Ch-ching!
My cheque for $650 AUD just arrived
For those of you not familiar with the Mozilla bug bounty program - it’s designed to reward reporters of security bugs in Mozilla software and encourage security research.
I found a bug in AMO which (if I so desired) would have allowed me to send out a [...]First, an introduction
I decided it’s time I blogged. I had an old livejournal but it’s been far too long since I updated it, and it doesn’t allow me to have feeds associated with tags, so it was time to move on. I also think that there’s not nearly enough communication between developers and users of addons.mozilla.org, so [...]
In the beginning the universe was created
Douglas Adams anyone?
You’ve reached the beginning of time. Not really, but the beginning of time for this blog. If you want to go back further in history, go to my old blog at livejournal.com The general plan now is to start actually using this blog, and then hopefully that’ll motivate me to do some [...]
