Though this has probably been the busiest week for releases that the Toolkit has seen in quite a while, I'm going to release another new version. This one does not contain any new functionality - none whatsoever. It does, however, include a new pointer to the automatic updater. If you'd like to know more, read on.
With the official release of Internet Explorer 7 (and perhaps Firefox 2), you may find yourself wanting to uninstall the IE7 beta, but you get a message that tells you to log in as the same user who installed the product originally in order to uninstall. If you're like me and have a tendency to muck about with users, that might be a lot easier said than done. Luckily, there is an answer.
In our never-ending search for Sunday brunch, we found that Charlotte has added another competitor: The Neighborhood Grille. That's the good news. The selection isn't bad, but it's not extensive by any means. Like most of the other places, the items on the bar include breakfast or other items, so you can choose what you'd like to eat.
Hint: Go with breakfast. If you want lunch, you will probably be disappointed.
Well, that was one of the shortest version cycles in history. For those of you who have been using the Bloglines Toolkit for a while, probably not the fastest, but still, it was pretty quick.
While Firefox 2 was actually released yesterday, it's still pretty decent news, because a lot of folks have been waiting for a while, and the improvements are decent. Thus far I'm not certain that I would say that it deserved a jump all the way to version 2 (it seems more like a move to 1.6 was in order), but it's an improvement, from what I can tell.
With the (final) release of the new 2.0 version of the Firefox browser, I've updated the Bloglines Toolkit to a new version. If you're using the auto-update feature, you should be prompted when you install, or when you check if you've already installed.
While we were trying to figure out the bizarre looping detour to get back to the airport one morning (luckily we allowed plenty of time), we happened to notice a diner sitting there on the street corner, right in the midst of all the buildings. Talk about out of place. Since we had been around the block several times and had to get out of the rut, we decided to park and try and get our wits about us. Probably the best decision we made.
While looking for a place to stay during our recent trip to the Norwood area (a business trip - there really isn't much to see for a pleasure trip), we decided to see what there was in the area. The map shows several hotels clustered around I-95, but I'm not usually a fan of being right there on the Interstate, though that's not always a bad thing, either - and it does offer plenty of options if I needed it, so I decided that we could come back if needed.
After a late night of work, we found ourselves looking for something a bit different along the highway and there weren't a lot of options - especially because we had already had Italian twice in the last 24 hours and we didn't want fast food. There were a couple of places that are typically considered "family style", but we can typically get those at home, so we looked for something different.
We just happened to be staying in one of the hotels in Norwood, and were looking for something quick, cheap and even greasy to eat, and saw a sign directing us to pizza just across the way. The only problem is that it took us a while to find the place.
We tried The Chateau early one evening in what would probably be called the "early bird" hour, and there were plenty of other people there as well (there were in fact several other diners there for the aptly-named special). Since we just stopped in for a quick bite, we didn't really have a full-blown meal, but we did try a few things.
