The latest update for version 2 of Firefox (2.0.0.14 is out). I wonder why it’s only now that my automatic update flagged me for a restart while the fix was released a couple of days ago.
Nothing much with this release as it only fixes one security issue - addressing the crash in JavaScript garbage […]

As of now, I’m trying it our with my offline WordPress installation test site before I fully deploy it for my websites. But if what the release notes really deliver then I’d […]

It’s one of those days again when my Firefox auto-update prompts me to install yet another update to Firefox 2. I have been shifting from trying out a 3 Beta release to old Firefox 2 and I was surprised that Mozilla is still doing some patchwork to version 2.
Fixes for this release:
XUL popup spoofing […]

But many prospectors are still rewarded by their efforts.Say you’re browsing and suddenly a string of letters or words […]
A newsletter is one of the most effective ways of spreading word. You can use it to promote, to preach, to market, or to advertise whatever you want. Organizations and some companies still see some value in spreading the news around. The problem is how you can make one that’s sure to generate your desired […]

Save for struggling in eBay finding a decent, and good condition NES gaming console can be a bugger. The old one in my own storage hasn’t been functioning for the last fifteen years. Emulators are okay only the ROMs might not be legal. If you have a more recent Nintendo rig like a DS or […]

I am still an out and out Firefox fan but anything that involves my OS’ manufacturer deserves a look somehow. And when news has it that the new Internet Explorer 8 would be standards-compliant, it definitely has my attention (though I can’t seem to avoid not snickering when I get to think of “standards compliance” […]

There are several reasons why a guy would rather date girls online than in real life. For one thing, it does seem safer to have a monitor screen between you and a girl, instead of being face-to-face where she can look through your eyes and tell when you’re lying. Consider this as our follow-up […]
Well, sorry for those who have been misled by the title. This is not some advanced modeling software that can readily create 3D models from JPEGs. Make 3D a web tool that lets you view 2D images converted to simulate a 3D environment. If you ask me, this is a very interesting imaging algorithm by […]

One funny thing I’ve seen while attending a corporate presentation is have one guy try to access a website typing a few letters and have the address bar history refer him to the porn sites he had visited. Imagine the embarrassment of that guy and the crazy looks everyone had. But whether it’s hiding traces […]

Amit over at Digital Inspiration wrote this great article on the modus operandi of the AdSense click fraud scheme in India. India ranks among the highest in click fraud (as shown in the map above, via Click Forensics). So basically what they do is:
You basically create a website and then write a few articles […]
This is yet another development in the tag-board technology.
In my early days of blogging, adding a tag-board for getting quick and easy replies from visitors was a must. Though over the years, people have cautioned people from placing tag-boards to encourage people to read posts and place relevant comments. I personally agree with this though […]

Huzzah! After nearly a year of not posting anything related to Internet Explorer (that’s how I hate using that non-standards compliant browser), here’s one. Not that I don’t use IE since I do for IE Tab to log-in to multiple accounts at the same time.
Anyway, one feature that Firefox has that readily trumps IE is […]
Finally! The one thing I’ve been waiting for in Gmail Chat! If you’re a Gmail Chat user and would want to hide from those pesky contacts, you can now use the invisible mode.
Before this, I just opted to sign out of Gmail Chat and leave it that way. I do have some annoying people in […]

Now this would be one of the things that do not have much use for the common person but some choice people might find very useful. Personally, I’m thinking of productive uses for this add-on but hey, there’s not many people who need to generate Lorem Ipsum texts within their browser.
But here’s a Lorem […]
