Download Day for Firefox 3

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

Apparently they want to make a big splash with the highest ever recorded numbers for downloads on June 17th. I am marking it on my calender, just so I can see if their servers can handle the mass downloading. Mozilla is nuts, but they are doing a great job promoting the new release. I am still on release candidate 1, as I like it. It’s stable and lots of my plugins work on it. I will wait a few more days to download the full featured, complete version of FF3 and just hope that I don’t get punk’d in the process.

Plurk: The New Business

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

Wow. I think I am addicted to this timeline tweeting powncing thing called Plurk. I have been sitting here plurking for at least 2 hours. CRAZY. If you have an addictive personality, I suggest you don’t join Plurk. You will never leave the computer, just looking for updates.

So far, it’s a stable platform by which we can chat, send quick messages, share videos and pictures, and just generally commune together. You can toggle your plurks from public to private, to your clique, to just one person…and you can do that for each plurk you make. You don’t have to turn your whole profile private so people can’t be all in your business.

My friend Dr Victorine says she thinks there should be a topic and member search so we can find new friends easily on Plurk. I agree. It would be nice to be able to find people with similar interests on Plurk. Right now, you have to share your address with everyone or go through all your lovely email/instant messaging contacts.

Check it out, it’s open to the public.
