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, […]

Mozilla SeaMonkey 1 Review

  • 1 Feb, 2006

I’ve downloaded Mozilla SeaMonkey 1.0 and I’m using it right now.  I was all excited as I thought SeaMonkey would be Firefox+Thunderbird+Nvu all rolled into one.  Not Quite. First off, SeaMonkey has an identity crisis on it’s hands.  I started it up and it felt like 1997 with Netscape 4.7.  Seriously people, either make a […]

Now, shinner than ever is iPox v0.35! New in this release is the return of the much missed big buttons and some makeovers. The tabs and main toolbar background have gone from the ‘two tone’ kinda shine, to the full glossy look. So sweet! 🙂 Oh, and for the third time, the main buttons got […]

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 […]

Easy WordPress Upgrade

  • 26 Jan, 2006

It’s true, there is even an easier way to upgrade your WordPress install. Note: This has worked for me but I’m not promising anything. Always backup your data. The worst part of upgrading WordPress is that you have to first delete all your old files. Ok most of your old files. Then upload all the […]
