No Hickups from Firefox 3.6 BETA 5
Dec 19th
I’ve been running the betas of Firefox 3.6 my MacBook Pro and my Windows 7 PC, and both seem to have been doing pretty well with it. Looks really good so far, but it seems Mozilla says there is still work to be done.
Overall, Firefox 3.6 doesn’t really show off any new features at first, but there are some really good things for web and theme developers and users will now have a more stable browsing experience. Read the rest of this entry »

Really liking Thunderbird 3 on Mac
Dec 5th
I have been using Thunderbird on Windows for mail for as long as it has existed, but it recently started to look old and in need of a UI refresh. When I got my MacBook Pro, I tried to use Apple’s Mail.app with GMail’s IMAP support, this seems to have revealed a few bugs in Mail.app. So then I tried Thunderbird 2, it liked GMail alot better and with a few tweaks, it worked OK, but it laked the unread mail count on the dock icon. All-in-all nothing yet liked GMail and worked perfectly on Mac.
I then decided to be bold and try the Thunderbird 3 Beta. Jackpot, the unread mail count worked (most of the time) and it’s new Smart Folder feature made GMail look almost nativity supported by Thunderbird (even with Google’s weird mapping for IMAP folders). Now with RCs out, it seems Thunderbird 3 is shaping up real nice, and it looks really good on Mac OS X. Now if only they can give it a nice new look on Windows.
As promised… Glasser is now updated for Firefox 3.5.x

TCL-R 0.1 Released
Feb 28th
I’ve been working on this first version for a while now, and I think it is ready. The first release of TCL-R marks the beginning of what I hope will be a great project. This version is really minimal and can only be compiled on Visual Studio 2008 as a static library at the moment. It is only an interpreter in a library and isn’t designed to be used as a shell or full TCL distribution.
Firefox 3 Released!
Jun 17th
Today Mozilla Firefox 3 has finally been released. This release, which has been in beta and RC for months, marks a great leap in the usability of Firefox. These improvements include better support for the look of native widgets, the new AwesomeBar which integrates with the bookmarks and history, better JavaScript performance and lower and more maintained memory usage. Also, under the hood changes now allow Firefox 3 to pass the infamous Acid2 test and history and bookmarks are now stored using SQLite.
