Hmm, so much for regular posting.
Though I did stick to it for my personal blog.

I said the next article here would be about a FireFox extension compiler (or, the lack of) but as I haven't looked at it in over a month it wouldn't be appropriate.

So.  What to write?
Well, I got my name on the register, and I currently have modpoints on slashdot.

So as far as the internet goes, things are pretty damn good today.
Current project is bank account C/w.  Currently not working because I can't think of a suitable way to detect null. (a side effect of a corner I cut for last months coursework.  Don't cut corners kids, it ain't worth it in the long run).
Hard disk in my iBook is becoming a littler noisy.  I may swap it for the one in my other laptop.

In other news, my Windows Vista installation has expired.  Or, at least, locked out until it gets activated.
It's a little disappointing as I was looking forward to giving it a thorough going over.  I'm impressed by what I saw in the 14 days it worked for, and have a big list of bugs that need to be submitted.  However, due to the universities "interesting" proxy server, the feedback client doesn't work.

Still, the activation issue should be resolved when I go back home and attach it to my home connection (I just looked at the my ISP's website, NTL, and I can get an upgrade to a 10 Meg connection for £35 a month - r0x0r!)

At the moment, is does lack what I call "polish" (something that a lot of open source apps lack, IMO), but thats understandable, as the last release was only feature complete, the optimisation and the tidying up phases are yet to occur.  However, looking at Office 12 as a guide for what Vista should end up looking like, which was refreshed last week, I am looking forward to the next build of Vista.

One thing I know for sure is that on the day it is released, I will be in the queue trying to download it from the MSDN-AA server.
After upgrading my iBook to OS-X 10.5, of course.
