Firefox 3 was released yesterday to much fanfare. The first tallies are showing over 8 million downloads in 1 day. Of that total 269,901 were by Canadians.
Update June 19: Download total is now over 11 million, 320,000+ by Canada.
I’ve been using it for about a day, here are my initial impressions.
I don’t [...]
On June 12th the first reading of Bill C-61 took place in the House of Commons. This is a terrible bill that takes the power of copyright law out of the hands of lawmakers and into the hands of corporations. I’ve gathered up a few links to get you up to speed on [...]
Everything that I had read said that Google had adjusted their algorithms to combat link bombs, also known as Google bombs. Turns out this may, or may not be the case.

It has been 9 months since Vista has been released into the wild. Nearly a year ago, and before general release, I posted a comment on Vista. I had used it for about 2 weeks at work to test the various applications I run. At the time I thought it was the prettiest bloated cow [...]
Looks like my upgrade of Wordpress to the latest & greatest version has gone as smoothly as one can hope for. I also took the opportunity to see if any of the plugins I use here have had updates. Some actually did. It is good to see that there is a thriving community [...]

Recently this blog has gotten quite a bit of spam and Akismet has stopped nearly all of it (99.996%). I moderate the comments before they are posted here and only 2 of 450+ spam comments [...]
Firefox v2.0 was released earlier this week, just after IE7's release date. IE7 left me unimpressed with its interface and general look and feel.
