Fathers Day 2008

For all the hours you worked

For all the knowledge and advice you share

For setting the example and showing me how to be a man

For teaching me how to respect people

For being there when any of us kids stumbled

For always listening

Most of all, thank you for being my dad.

Migrated to Firefox 3… finally

Firefox I’ve finally made the switch to Firefox 3 (RC3). While previous betas and release candidates didn’t feel quite finished, this one sure does. From the talk around the ‘net about it, it sounds like this may be the last RC before going gold. Yeah, I still have a number of plug-ins that are not supported yet, but in the week since I switched to RC3 there have been three plug-ins updated for compatibility!

My main plug-ins that I can’t live without are there and the stability, memory management, and feature set have made it worth the change. Kudos to the Mozilla team on the work so far – you’re real close, and I know you’ve got a longer list of things to finish up than I’m aware of.

So yep, to those who give a darn I’ve moved to FF3 and am happy with the upgrade. Good stuff.

The working mistake

I’ve fallen into the trap again. Allowing myself to loose focus on getting things done around here and writing for my blog.  The last couple weeks of May and the first week of June allowed me to get a lot done around here and start laying groundwork for moving forward.

This week I blew it. I let work get in between myself and my goals. Sure, getting paying work is an important part in attaining those goals. However, it really smarts when a person let’s it completely absorb all your time. I did that this week, and have little to show for it but inspiration for the weekend.

No, I don’t have grand ideas to make up for lost time, instead I’m simply picking up my plans that I think I left in the front seat of the car under an empty soda can and a bag of stale chips. Oh, never mind about that 😉

Honestly, I find it funny how easy it is to repeat past mistakes and not realize you’re doing it until you can look back over time and see where you missed a step. There are many steps still ahead, so I’ll just keep walking down the path I’ve chosen. See you this weekend!
