Mozilla 1.0 Launch Party
I feel it is my patriotic duty to inform you of the following completely unsubstantiated rumor: Dealership may be playing at the Mozilla 1.0 launch party. I can think of nothing so thick square-rimmed glasses-wearing bowling-shirt-clad kernel-tweaking code-compiling wallet-chained standing-in-the-back-head-nodding geeky.*
I’m SO there.
More than one reader suggested that I try out Chimera, a Gecko/Carbon browser for OS X. It is indeed speedier than Mozilla for OS X, but is far from complete (little things like preference menus failing to open, lack of JS error messages, etc.). Great if you just wanna browse and not waste time. I’ll be watching as the point releases come out. Here’s a nice thing to know: the Google SOAP API demos I wrote work in Moz OS X. Whew!
In related news, Mozilla RC3 is out, which means the end is in sight.
And with that, I’m out. Have a great weekend.
*the good kind.
