Official Firefox Addon Tester

  • 12 Feb, 2007
Addon Approved

I’m now an official AMO (addons.mozilla.org) tester. I volunteered for the job so that I could test themes and help get more of them out to the public faster. So far I’ve done a few themes and a few extensions. The upside is I get to see all the coolest new addons before anyone else. […]

Adium Has Landed – The Perfect Chat Application

  • 3 Feb, 2007

The only chat application necessary on a Mac has just hit 1.0. Adium is the duck of all trades as far as instant messaging is concerned. It works with AIM, Yahoo, MSN, Google Talk, ICQ and many more services. It comes with a great tabbed interface and the best option of all, customization! Adium is […]

No Fun with IE and CSS

  • 25 Jan, 2007

While re-designing my site I ran in to many issues related to Internet Explorer and CSS. To any web designer, this is nothing to new. I designed in Firefox and checked things in Safari and they were perfect. Opened up IE 6 and spend the next week or so re-working things. My biggest issue was […]

Chicklet & Social Creator Work in WordPress 2.1

  • 22 Jan, 2007

I have a test blog that I basically do anything with so I decided to take the chances and upgrade to WordPress 2.1 on it tonight. I didn’t perform a backup, I didn’t even disable any plugins, I just upgraded and in about two minutes I was done. Everything works great and looks good. My […]

From Around The Web : Flock, Seamonkey, Outlook, Idol

  • 21 Jan, 2007

I’ve never quite understood why people just leave a list of links to other sites, but now I do. Here is some news that I don’t have time to write about, but wanted to share. A new preview version of Flock, based on Firefox 2, is out with many additional features. Note, it didn’t import […]

Google Calendar Alarms in iCal

  • 18 Jan, 2007

I’ve been using Google Calendar for a while now and it’s been working out quite well. Since it’s web based, it’s everywhere I am and since it works off .ics files, it can be subscribed to in iCal. It’s almost perfect. Two of the features I miss the most are being able to edit a […]

Thrillville vs Rollercoaster Tycoon

  • 16 Jan, 2007

In our Wii downtime, I checked out Thrillville for Xbox (also available in Playstation and PSP). Where it may seem similar to Rollercaoaster Tycoon, it’s much different. Listing off the objectives and game play of both games, one would think they are quite similar. However, Thrillville is more about mini-games and goals than it is […]

Great, Hard To Find, Firefox Themes

  • 12 Jan, 2007

Firefox themes are great and I’m always on the lookout for more. But sometimes, finding the coolest ones takes a bit of work. addons.mozilla.org is the first stop for finding any themes. However, this official listing doesn’t include everyone. Some theme developers don’t take the time to upload theirs for some reason. The second place […]

Correo Mail – Part Mail.app, Thunderbird & Incomplete

  • 10 Jan, 2007

The other day Hawk Wings tipped us off about a new mail application that is coming to the Mac. It’s called Correo and it’s sound like it has a lot of potential. Think of it like Camino, the cousin of Firefox that’s Gecko powered, but Mac pretty. Well Correo is the same thing. Gecko powered […]

Blogging in IE 6 on my iMac

  • 28 Dec, 2006

How cool am I?  Gone retro and posting in IE 6 on my iMac.  No, not with Parallels or any Windows OS installed at all.  It’s CrossOver and I’m checking out the latest release. If it works well, I may consider buying it.  But then again I do own Parallels.  The advantage to CrossOver is […]
