Winter is here?

27th Oct 2006 12:48pm I woke up this morning at an hour I havent seen since I was at college... 6am !! And I had no ciggies so I had to venture out of my nice warm bed. So after spending 2 hours doing stuff for OCIWA (Yes I am working on it!!) I decided to put me clothes on and head down to the shop. As I opened the front door that winter morning air hit me... cold and brittle.

As I walked down to the shop my fingers started to tingle, bringing back memories of when I was a child and had to walk to school in November and December time.

Now I read in the paper (Daily Mail) the other day that all the trees, bushes and plants in the UK are messed up as they can no longer grasp if we are in Summer, Autumn or Winter. To be honest the other day it felt like Summer and now today it feels like a lovely Winters morning without the snow. Not a cloud in the sky and a slight freshening breeze, oh not to forget all the condensation on cars and front doors. So maybe we are heading straight from Summer to Winter ... totally missing Autumn.

Yay! Gay Couple Update

26th Oct 2006 05:09am According to CNN: Gay couples have the same marriage rights as heterosexual couples under the New Jersey state constitution, the state Supreme Court rules.

This is really good to see. Lets hope the rest of the world desides to get with the times and treat gay couples (gay and lesbian) as normal people and not some sort of outcasts.

Mozilla Firefox 2

25th Oct 2006 10:17am At 1am (BST) on the 24th October, The Mozilla Corporation released Firefox 2. The latest version. I have just downloaded it and installed it and looking at it is exactly the same as the original version however I havent had a muck around yet in any of the options. Here is a copy of the release notes, showing whats new:

Visual Refresh: Firefox 2's theme and user interface have been updated to improve usability without altering the familiarity of the browsing experience.

Built-in phishing protection: Phishing Protection warns users when they encounter suspected Web forgeries, and offers to return the user to their home page. Phishing Protection is turned on by default, and works by checking sites against either a local or online list of known phishing sites. This list is automatically downloaded and regularly updated when the Phishing Protection feature is enabled.

Enhanced search capabilities: Search term suggestions will now appear as users type in the integrated search box when using the Google, Yahoo! or Answers.com search engines. A new search engine manager makes it easier to add, remove and re-order search engines, and users will be alerted when Firefox encounters a website that offers new search engines that the user may wish to install.

Improved tabbed browsing: By default, Firefox will open links in new tabs instead of new windows, and each tab will now have a close tab button. Power users who open more tabs than can fit in a single window will see arrows on the left and right side of the tab strip that let them scroll back and forth between their tabs. The History menu will keep a list of recently closed tabs, and a shortcut lets users quickly re-open an accidentally closed tab.

Resuming your browsing session: The Session Restore feature restores windows, tabs, text typed in forms, and in-progress downloads from the last user session. It will be activated automatically when installing an application update or extension, and users will be asked if they want to resume their previous session after a system crash.

Previewing and subscribing to Web feeds: Users can decide how to handle Web feeds (like this one), either subscribing to them via a Web service or in a standalone RSS reader, or adding them as Live Bookmarks. My Yahoo!, Bloglines and Google Reader come pre-loaded as Web service options, but users can add any Web service that handles RSS feeds.

Inline spell checking: A new built-in spell checker enables users to quickly check the spelling of text entered into Web forms (like this one) without having to use a separate application.

Live Titles: When a website offers a microsummary (a regularly updated summary of the most important information on a Web page), users can create a bookmark with a "Live Title". Compact enough to fit in the space available to a bookmark label, they provide more useful information about pages than static page titles, and are regularly updated with the latest information. There are several websites that can be bookmarked with Live Titles, and even more add-ons to generate Live Titles for other popular websites.

Improved Add-ons manager: The new Add-ons manager improves the user interface for managing extensions and themes, combining them both in a single tool.

JavaScript 1.7: JavaScript 1.7 is a language update introducing several new features such as generators, iterators, array comprehensions, let expressions, and destructuring assignments. It also includes all the features of JavaScript 1.6.

Extended search plugin format: The Firefox search engine format now supports search engine plugins written in Sherlock and OpenSearch formats and allows search engines to provide search term suggestions.

Updates to the extension system: The extension system has been updated to provide enhanced security and to allow for easier localization of extensions.

Client-side session and persistent storage: New support for storing structured data on the client side, to enable better handling of online transactions and improved performance when dealing with large amounts of data, such as documents and mailboxes. This is based on the WHATWG specification for client-side session and persistent storage.

SVG text: Support for the svg:textpath specification enables SVG text to follow a curve or shape.

New Windows installer: Based on Nullsoft Scriptable Install System, the new Windows installer resolves many long-standing issues.
