Phoenix just crashed on me. I had about ten tabs open, probably half of which I would have blogged about.
Oh well.
I long for an plug-in that will save my tab state every few minutes so that I can recover from a crash. The “History” list is sometimes helpful, if my tabs haven’t been hanging around […]

15May03AdBlock
18Feb03Coolest Mozilla / Phoenix add-in ever:
AdBlock is an image filtering plug-in for the Mozilla and Phoenix-browsers. It can essentially be seen as a program that allows more fine-grained image-control than the built-in “Block images from this server”-function.
AdBlock allows the user to specify a number of filters, which removes unwanted images based on their address. Filters […]
More on KHTML vs. Gecko
15Jan03CNET’s “Apple snub stings Mozilla” article has the Mozilla crew in a tizzy. Here’s a choice weblog quote:
It really gives me pause. They are talking about Mozilla from over a year ago. They are talking about a pre-1.0 Mozilla release. Mozilla has gotten a lot better since that evaluation [Chris Blizzard, Mozilla developer and RedHat […]
K-What?
13Jan03I was as shocked as everyone else over Apple’s decision to base their web browser on the KHTML renderer. Unlike most, I actually knew what KHTML is and spent some time upgrading one of my VMware’d Linux installations from KDE 2 to KDE 3 to see if KHTML has improved.
The good news is that KHTML […]
Picking up the Tabs
10Jan03Apple’s Safari web browser has re-ignited the whole Tabbed Browsing Considered Harmful debate.
I like tabbed browsing because I tend to have a large number of windows open at any given time (current: 2 browser windows with 13 tabs between them, 10 other windows across 8 applications). Without the tabbed browser, Alt-Tab would be completely unusable […]
Shifting
03Jan03Finally got more RAM for my desktop machine, bringing it from 512MB to 896MB. VMware gets more memory and I don’t have to shut it down to run Visual Studio, yippie.
Moved the freed up 128MB stick to my Linux box… Redhat 8’s GUI is still a dog. Windows XP Pro and Windows 2000 Server had […]
Attack of the Bugs
05Nov02Slashdot: Contest for Mozilla’s 200,000th bug.
For folks like me who quickly think of the outcry over Windows 2000’s 60,000 shipped bugs, Slashdot points out that this is the number of Bugzilla reports, not actual bugs.
The actual bug count is 49,199 resolved, 28,946 unresolved (excludes unconfirmed). That’s a whole lot of bugs.
