I wish I could say I’m on a roll, but I’m not to sure about that.
Miint has been released on Mozilla’s add-on site and is now public!
That makes two out of nine themes that are ready to go for Firefox 3. One other is in production and the others waiting to get converted.
Miint fans rejoice though, the cool and tasty theme is read to go!
Feel free to report bugs in the bug tracker.
Enjoy!
If you haven’t been following the betas, than this day has been a long time coming. iPox for Firefox 3 was officially released on Mozilla’s Addon site this morning.
The new version, iPox 2, has been re-worked from the ground up in hopes of creating the most compatible theme for Firefox 3.
If you come across a bug, please post it in the bug tracker and I’ll take a look into it. There are more updates to come, but this is a good start.
Enjoy!
As I’ve been socializing on Plurk, there is one topic that just seems to grab a lot of attention. And that topic is bacon. Everywhere I turn, there are more and more bacon lovers sharing their interesting bacon finds.
I thought I’d put a few of those together to share with all the bacon lovers out there.

It’s been one year since the 35W bridge gave way and it’s still unbelievable.
WCCO has a great retrospective on the survivors, the responders and others at the scene of the bridge collapse. Especially moving to us is the Coulter family and Paula, whom my wife use to work with. The doctors didn’t think she’d live, let alone walk and talk. It really goes to show you that the impossible is possible.
On Dec. 24th, 2008 the new 35W bridge will open.
To all the responders & rescue crews, the doctors & nurses, the thoughts & prayers and the construction workers bringing the bridge back to life, Thank You.
Each theme I work on is a bit better than the last and Miint is no different. Miint enters into beta today with what I believe is to be the fewest issues and the most themed so far.
Yes, there are still things to do, like remove any unused files, and I’m sure some bugs will arise, but I’m very happy with Miint’s outcome so far.
The Miint beta is over, the theme has been released.
Next steps is to take some of the code and work it into MidnightFox and iPox to make them better. 
A few days ago Plurk came out with the ability to customize your profile with your own CSS code. I put my skills to work and created my first Plurk theme!
It’s a bit darker, to match my website, and comes with rounded boxes, a unified timeline and colors that pop.
You can get a better feel for it by viewing my Plurk Profile.
Want the theme? No problem.
Want to edit the code? Go ahead. Just remember to give me a little credit for the time I spent creating the theme. You can grab the code by installing it and then editing your Plurk profile and customizing it.
Plurk fans, here is the Plurk team for your desktop!
We are the ones that go Plurk in the night.
Additionally, if you’d rather have a more colorful one, check out the Plurk and Friends desktop.
Two more of my themes are now in beta and ready for you to test out. MidnightFox and MidnightFoxy are both available for Firefox 3 and the adventurous type.
Actually, you don’t have to be adventurous. I have tested the themes on Mac and XP and saw no show stopping bugs. Yes, there are quite a few outstanding areas that need theming, but I thought that the progress so far would be enough for some users who are patiently waiting; which I appreciate.
Just a quick note to say I’ve upgraded to Wordpress 2.6. If you see any issues, let me know. 
I love to create Firefox themes, make addons and lots of freebees that others often enjoy. I do this on my free time and love to see people enjoy them. But some days, I’m ready to throw in the towel.
I’ve recently got a few comments from a visitor saying “hurry up and release the f**king theme” and “do your f**king job.”
Now I know that there is bound to be one jerk out of hundreds of users, but it’s comments like these that make me wonder why I continue to spend my time on themes. It’s not my job and, the more negative comments I get, the slower my progress will be. These things take hours to build and there is a lot to take into consideration.
