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

Today is Groundhog Day and Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow. That means that there is six more weeks of winter. But what’s the point? Actually, what I’d like to know is what happened to winter? Here in Minnesota we just ended the warmest January ever and we had more days in the 40s than we […]

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 […]

iPox Tweak

22 Jan, 2006

Heated Car Seat Covers

19 Jan, 2006

I have to tell you, I didn’t think I’d get heated seats until I got a new car. However, for Christmas I got heated car seat covers. Heated seats without getting a new car! These things are wonderful. I just hop in in the morning, plug in the power to the cigarette lighter and before […]

Web Design vs SEO

17 Jan, 2006

There seems to be a discussion going on about web design vs SEO. Why is it that web designers and SEO don’t go together? Well, it’s two different fields that have be separate for so long, but now have to act as one. And no one is willing to change or take the time to […]

Microsoft Wireless Keyboard & Mouse

12 Jan, 2006

For the past two days I’ve been testing out a wireless Microsoft keyboard and mouse. So far, my feelings are pretty positive. Now I’m not a huge Microsoft fan, actually I tend to avoid them like the plague, but this keyboard and mouse was just sitting there, looking all sad like with all it’s buttons. […]
