computers and the internet
Its a record
I was just reading the news and learnt that on download firefox day firefox was downloaded over 8 million times in the last 24 hours and means that they are looking good for the new world record. In Australia it looks like we have downloaded 175,722 copies of it.
Last week i decided with the upcoming [...]
Firefox Download Day
Don’t forget today is the official Firefox Download Day as they try to set a new world record. Its actually wednesday here rather than the day since i couldn’t download it yesterday but thanks to the wonder of timezones there is still time. Get it while it is hot!
Missing You
*SIGH* I hate internet downtime. You know how it goes, a site you visit every day has a patch where its not available or worse, just an error. I hate those error pages.
Hopefully the site in question will come back soon. I certainly miss it!
Marking my Calendar
A while ago i mentioned that i had taken the pledge to download Firefox on download day as part of a world record attempt. Its a worthy goal and i have been using the Firefox 3 Beta.
So circle your calendar, set your day planner because come 17 June its Firefox download day.

But [...]

Happy Birthday
I was just reading the WordPress Blog that it is the 5th birthday of WordPress. I for one say happy birthday as all my blogs are powered by WordPress and i wouldn’t have it any other way!
Interestingly enough there are parties organised to celebrate the birthday. You know there has to be some love in [...]
Spam from Turkey Casanova

Crackberry
I find it interesting to read that Blackberry users are experiencing some of the same symptoms that crack users exibit when their blackberry is withdrawn. More than once i have pondered some mobile phone users being addicted to their phones. Me, not much danger of that as i have enough trouble as i have enough [...]
