If you’re using Internet Explorer, or are forced to use it at work, you should seriously consider switching browsers until Microsoft deems it time to release a patch to the latest Internet Explorer security hole. This one is pretty serious as it does not require any action on the user’s part beyond visiting a compromised …
Performancing has released what looks to be a cool Firefox extension that makes it easy to update your blog using the browser and a client-side WYSIWYG editor. If you’ve got a wordpress, movabletype, or blogger blog, it’s worth checking out. Now, I’ve got to implement an xml-rpc service so that I can use this.

I really hate the kitchen sink: New stuff coming for Sunbird lists the features in store for mozilla’s calendaring application. Of particular note, it will eventually support meeting invitations and easier synchronization with a palm pilot. Both of these features have been holding its adoption back at work as we look for an Outlook/Exchange replacement.
Both on my Debian PC’s at home and work, I’ve been annoyed that my Firefox and Thunderbird installations didn’t launch each other when I clicked on a link or email address. For example, at work, Evolution would come up if I clicked on a mailto link on a web page. Inside each program’s preferences there …
