My First Days with Windows Vista
Over the last four days, I've spent plenty of time getting up to speed on the latest offering from the boys in Redmond, and so far I'm reasonably pleased with it. It looks plenty pretty. With a few exceptions (the "setting up" dialog as you log in for…

Firefox CPU Usage and Google Reader
Ever since installing Firefox version 2, I've noticed a steady deterioration in my computer's performance, but I haven't been able to put my finger on it. Since installing the 2.0.0.1 update, it's been even worse. For some reason, I decided to try and figure it out yesterday, and…

Bloglines Toolkit 1.6.5
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….

Firefox 2 Released
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…

Bloglines Toolkit 1.6.4
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….

Firefox Regular Expression Tester
I typically bumble about looking for something to test my regular expressions, and today I stumbled across the regular expression tester for Firefox. It's likely not perfect, but it seems to work pretty well….
