My laptop dual boots [I swap between two 80GB hard drives] between Windows XP and Novell Linux Desktop.
My XP installation has a really annoying problem with Hibernate – described in this Microsoft article. Put simply – it can’t Hibernate about 90% of the time.
There is a lengthy blog post describing the issue – and today a hotfix was released from Microsoft for the issue.
I am trying to get hold of the patch.
Firefox 1.5 should now be available.
Even mozilla.com had a makeover.
Firefox 1.5 is pretty great. My beta feedback:
Here’s to the next 100 million downloads!
A few weeks into using Google Analytics – and I must say I’m very impressed.
The data collected is stunning – for example – 70% of blog visitors use Firefox (not surprising for a tech blog)
Also currently 5% of my blog visitors are from a microsoft.com domain. A hearty hello if you’re in Redmond right now.
Now I was tracking a lot of this before – by trawling my apache logs. Google Analytics is just easier – and it produces pretty graphs!
The only downside – and I don’t recall seeing many blogs on this point yet – is the payload of the tracking technology. The analytics uses javascript – and downloads a huge 17KB of script. It’s not a lot – but the latency is noticable on some sites.
Not UPS and filtered power – more the generation.
I’ve just signed up with Utah Power for their Blue Sky program.
I join 12,000 other Utah customers – including businesses like Uinta brewing. Sounds good to me 🙂

Xbox 360’s crashing?
Lots of posts about this now – Xbox-Scene seems to have most.
[Edit – here’s a great video of a crash – thanks to Digg for that one.]
