Did you help Mozilla set a world record today?

Firefox 3 Download Day launched this morning with the Mozilla community trying to set a Guinness World Record for the most software downloaded in 24 hrs. Were you a part of it?
If you'd like to show your Firefox colors, download this nice wallpaper created by motionblur to honor the release of Firefox 3.

Image padding and quirks mode in Internet Explorer

I hadn't come across this one yet, but there's a first time for everything! For the life of me, I couldn't figure out why Internet Explorer was ignoring the padding I had set on an image. I reverse engineered everything down to the last detail, but still couldn't identify the cause. Then I found this […]

My search plugins

One of the features that made me fall in love with Firefox (or Firebird as it was called back then) was the integration of search plugins. Not surprisingly, IE7 has followed Mozilla down this path, and the MyCroft Project website now hosts more than 10,000 of the handy little plugins.
To make my days more efficient, […]

IE7 lets Microsoft know where you go

According to a post over at SPI Labs, Internet Explorer 7 sends personal information about the URLs you visit to Microsoft. Are you ready to trust Microsoft with this data? If not, your only option is to not use the browser since there is no way to opt-out, nor is there any notification about this […]

Mozilla Calendars

I just learned that Mozilla recently decided to discontinue work on their Calendar Extension for Firefox. Instead, they are focusing on Sunbird, a standalone calendar application, and Lightning, a Thunderbird calendar extension.
I don't use the calendar for much, but find it really handy when I need to look at a calendar month at a […]

CBC.ca redesign drops Mac IE 5 support

Some of you may have noticed: CBC.ca launched a redesign this week. CBC is my home page and frankly, the jury is still out on what I think about the new design. Part of my resistance to it is just the human reluctance to change. Once I get beyond that, I'll be able to evaluate […]
