This is a computer problem that has been bugging my desktop PC and me (me mostly - the machine seems pretty happy, and sometimes I think I hear sniggers). Well, the problem is, it boots up and then freezes irrevocably (resetting is the only recourse). Nothing out of the ordinary yet, considering I'm running Windows XP, but it freezes at any point...

What exactly are in these threads? Well, they highlight the latest fixes, patches, bugs, regressions and related news (if...

Just a note in case someone wonders why this site is down or looks kinda funky in the next 24 hours (or so), I'm changing servers yet again.

This is a mini-article I wrote for the SitePoint Community Crier after a fellow staff member requested that I write some helpful tips for "next week's Crier". It's just been published in Issue 64 and I'm simpy reproducing it here. The SitePoint Community Crier is the newsletter of SitePoint Forums, and is put together by the Community Team lead by...

Actually, just the extension manager menu item has been turned on, and a non-working dialog for updating extensions (hence the "pre-preview" - it is not a mistake). This can be seen in today's (2004-04-21) nightly builds - I was alerted to this by this CVS comment Ben Goodger gave on a checkin of his: turn on extension manager menu item (testing...

The Mozilla Visual Identity Team has completed the new artwork for Mozilla Thunderbird, as Steven Garrity (Mozilla Visual Identity Team leader) reports. Jon Hicks describes the process behind the design of the logo. Go check it out. Naturally, I'm disappointed by there not being a new default theme for Thunderbird as I'd previously thought had...

Email from an anonymous visitor: Just to inform you, your tagline -- "rambling's of a misfit" is misspelled. It should be spelled "ramblings." Ouch. I always thought I knew my apostrophes. Like how there is no apostrophe in "CDs" (it's not "CD's") - short for "compact discs". And the possessive form of "it" is "its" (no apostrophe). "It is",...
