I think it’s time for a new web browser… Jun 03. 030

Well, for a long time I’ve used IE on a day to day basis, it’s done the job, yes it’s full of bugs and annoying ‘Microsoft Features’ but it works and after all it’s a part of Windows, so it’s just there.

Thing is, recently IE is grating more and more, and there’s a new kid on the block for us Windows users. It goes by the name of Mozilla Firebird, and first impressions are that this is everything that Netscape 6 and 7 should have been.

If you know what’s good for you I strongly suggest that you get your backside over to Mozilla and download it right now. You have been told. :)

Writing extensions for Fireworks MX is fun… May 16. 030

Writing extensions for Fireworks MX is fun. Last night I spent some time putting the final touches to a command panel that I’ve been working on for a long time.

During this time it occured to me that there really are very few Fireworks extension developers out there, you know I think I could probably count them on a single hand…, a search through my favourites should put this one to rest.

There you go then. Let me know if you can be added to the list.

On Monday I reached the grand old age of 26… May 14. 030

On Monday I reached the grand old age of 26…, it’s really quite depressing to realise that I’m now well on my way to 30.

There was a time when I felt young, I had the whole rest of my life ahead of me, but now I feel like I’m up against the clock, every minute, day, week and month counts.

‘PC World’, full of sales guys who know nothing… May 07. 031

Last night I took a visit to ‘PC World’, full of sales guys who know nothing about the product and just want to sell you a service plan.

Anyhow, I/We (My wife and I) ended up buying a cheapy Logitech webcam amonst other things, I have to say this has to be the most fun you can have for such a small amount of cash. Well worth the spend.

Kleanthis has released a set of 4 new Fireworks MX extensions… Apr 29. 030

Kleanthis has released a set of 4 new Fireworks MX extensions. I downloaded these some time ago, but totally forgot to report on them, they are:

As you’d expect from Kleanthis, these extensions are brilliantly put together, work well and look great. Worth the download.
