Trackback and Blogger

Thanks to HaloScan I now seem to have trackback URLs in my posts. Off to testing...

Annoying Critical Update Available?

I installed Firefox 0.9.1 and since I've had a small yellow-on-red exclamation mark on the status bar, right hand corner. The tooltip reads "Critical Update(s) Available": Firefox 0.9.1. But I already have it! I guess it's a bug in the system. If you have this problem too, you can change one variable in your user.js or about:config:

user_pref("update.app.updatesAvailable", false");

and restart Firefox. Voilà!

New version 0.3 of GMailCompose

If you use Gmail and Firefox, you can now left-click on mailto: links and get a GMail compose window to open ! Get GMailCompose now, thanks to the good work of Jedbro.

One Gmail invite to give...

... so act fast and be the first to leave a comment below, giving your name and a working email address.

Firefox 0.9.1 coming in a few days

As Ben said, we should see in the next few days a new bugfix release. It will not include changes that happened on the Aviary branch, but it seems improvements have been made to the Winstripe default theme.

More Gmail goodies...

... a "Compose in Gmail" for Firefox. Edit: more about this extension here.

... Gmailto, a bookmarklet that turns every mailto: link into a Gmail compose window.

Gmail integration

Everything happens so fast. Doron has a teaser about Gmail/Mozilla integration, and then I learn (from a comment @ Doron's blaagh) that there is a Gmail-to-pop project.
This comes hot on the heels of gExodus, a mbox-to-Gmail converter (that uploads your mailbox to Gmail).

Can't stop the future !
