Ottawa

I was in Ottawa the last couple of days.

Another interesting city – all the benefits of a capital (museums, parks, generally good looking and well kept) but in a handy size 😉

Firefox – Fifty Million downloads

I’ve been using the browser Firefox for a long time – since the earliest days of Phoenix and Firebird.

I am stunned that Firefox has been downloaded over fifty million times – this is an incredible achievement – the whole Firefox team deserves credit.

My own involvement with Firefox has been tiny. I’ve submitted one defect and a fix; I’ve recommended the browser to friends, colleagues and family; I’ve pushed for Novell Linux Desktop to use Firefox over Epiphany; I mandated the Firefox configuration policies inside ZENworks 7 Linux Management.

New Order

I got my copy of the UK edition of the latest New Order album “Waiting for the Sirens Call” a few days ago. Mmmm – it’s good.

Lots of echos of the ‘older New Order sound’ ; the Peter Hook bass is very strong in the mix. Many songs sound have hints of New Order of the late 80’s and early 90’s.

I’m off to Chicago next week to see New Order live.
