After my earlier Firefox Lorentz Beta Released post, I noticed something didn’t seem quite right with my Firefox nightly build. For one thing I had not seen the Mozilla Runtime Environment (mozilla-runtime.exe) kicking in for Flash sites. I also kept noticing that every time I would get an update offer I was being informed Chrome Edit Plus add-on was not compatible and would be disabled. Also each time thought I had updated when Firefox restarted I would get an updated noticed for 3.6.4pre but when I went to install I would get an error about not being able to find…

The nice thing about the Aloe being a desert plant is it really doesn’t need much water and will grow like a weed. While they may turn a light brown/beige color, they will survive for quite a…
Back in April 2009 we moved this blog off of the WordPress platform and on to GoDaddy’s Quick Blogcast platform. The year has come to an end and I have decided to move this blog back over to WordPress. While the Quick Blog did have some nice features such as font formatting, I just found it lacking in other areas.

For the most part I was able to recover and re-post most of the entries from the past year. I know there a couple early entries…
