Breaking Windows with Burning Foxes
As much as I like the suggestion to try washing more things to see if they survive, the charm in my recent experiment was to see if my mistake would end up not costing me too much. And, fortunately, it did - my earbuds have served me well all week, keeping my bopping my head as I write up various audit papers.
One unfortunate development, though, is the fact Firefox is acting strange. I love it and its AdBlocking ways, but it's not acting the way it should on my home computer. My work laptop is running it great, but I don't take it home and shouldn't need to.
I could re-install the program and everything would probably fix itself. But why do the boring solution when you can do something marginally more interesting? I've downloaded the Alpha Test (meaning it's still a 'rough draft', in software terms) of Firefox 3, code named Gran Paradiso. Should be interesting to see how it works.
Download is available here - funny how tricky it was to find the link - since it's not meant for consumption by the general public, seeing as how they're still testing it out to see if breaks itself or Windows that makes sense. And if you want to try it for yourself, now you have another convenient link to it.
