MySpace Phenomenon

  • 18 Feb, 2006

I was watching the local morning news and they were talking about how popular MySpace has become.  To me, I don’t really get it. I have tried MySpace and I didn’t feel it was easy to use or that great.  But, then again, maybe I’m just use to the way other sites work as I’ve […]

iPox 0.4 – Buttons!

  • 10 Feb, 2006

iPox 0.4 is getting released today! I have now themed all the default Firefox toolbar icons. I’m not 100% satisfied with them, but they work pretty good for now. I even added a mouse over state to each one. Rollover the back button, or any button, and it’ll highlight blue. I haven’t really checked much […]

Butler IS Mac Productivity

  • 9 Feb, 2006

I’ve had Butler on my machine at work for a while but I really haven’t started using it until about a month ago and am I ever impressed. It has brought a whole new level of productivity to my day and I’m still learning the ins and outs. Here is a screen shot of my […]

InLine Spell Check for Firefox

  • 3 Feb, 2006

It’s true, there is support for inline spell check in Firefox! When I upgraded Firefox yesterday my SpellBound didn’t work so I did a little searching and found the developers preview of SpellBound. Not only did it work in Firefox 1.5.0.1 but it came with a new feature; inline spell check! Now, just like Thunderbird, […]

Groundhog Day – What’s the Point?

  • 2 Feb, 2006

iPox Feedback – Lets Talk

  • 26 Jan, 2006

I’ve been getting a lot of feedback at my website and on the Mozilla site. So much that I keep hearing the same things over and over. So I thought I’d address a few. Large Icons Yes, I see that removing them made some unhappy people. Don’t fear, they are coming back. When? Well I […]

WordPress 2.0 – Installed

  • 25 Jan, 2006

Here it is, in all it’s glory, WordPress 2.0. 🙂 Granted, you probably can’t tell a difference, but that’s a good thing. The upgrade seemed to go just fine. Granted I haven’t check it on a PC in IE yet, but that’s a chance I’m willing to take. My plug-ins are all working too except […]
