WWDC bbPress Meetup Wrap-Up
I arrived a bit late to the Meetup last night due to the walk being quite a bit… longer than I expected. No matter — San Fran was lovely and temperate last night and I definitely got to know the…

Thunderbird 2.0: An Upgrade Well Worth Your Time
The Mozilla Foundation released Thunderbird 2.0 yesterday and, based upon my first 24 hours with it, I’d give it an unconditional thumbs-up. Overall, it’s a much nicer experience than the previous version (1.5). It is faster, the interface is cleaner,…
SuQLite
If you were paying close attention, you would have noticed that the “Elbee Elgee Development” section of my footer was messed up for the past few days, and with good reason. That little bit of content is generated by parsing…
This’ll Help Convince The Feds To Adopt Linux
Via Slashdot, I saw a story about Richard Stallman convincing Cuba to adopt Linux. Linux companies and Linux advocates have been struggling against a reputation as mere software Communism – good thing Open Source Software’s strongest “advocate” (RMS) has gone…

Firefox 2: It’s The Little Things That Count
I’ve been using the Mac version of Firefox 2.0 on my Mac Pro at work for the last few days and I have to say that it’s a pretty nice package. It remembers your session if your browser happens to…
What’s Japanese For “Doesn’t Translate Well Into English”?
It most likely starts with “Eego wa” and ends in, well, this: See, the team behind the Firefox browser is trying to boost Japanese usage of the browser, so they held a little competition to make the mascot a bit…
A Virtual Cornucopia Of Cool Software
Google has been on a “pro-Doug” tear recently as far as I can see, releasing first Picasa, then Google Earth for Linux, along with the cool-in-concept Google Browser Sync plugin for Firefox. The Google Sync extension only ranks cool in…
I’m All For Nuking IE, But…
…Doesn’t Kill Bill’s Browser seem a bit, well, extreme, particularly the offering of a script that will actively annoy website visitors using IE? It seems pretty clear to me: coddle, sway, convince. Don’t annoy.
