Classes
I knocked out another milestone this week when I handed in my computing ethics term paper on the regulation of RFID devices. Hopefully, I won’t need to do the optional second revision. I also received the results from the second thermodynamics exam and I’m happy to report that I aced it; I guess my efforts paid off. Now all I need is a solid performance on the final to salvage a decent grade for that class.
Software: Mozilla Firefox 1.0
The Firefox browser turned 1.0 this Tuesday. There’s a lot to like about Firefox. I’ve been a fan ever since about the 0.5 days when the browser was still called Phoenix–0see my earliest desktop posted on this site for proof. Many recent adopters are concerned about security, but usability features like tabbed browsing and popup blocking are the real reasons I made Mozilla (the suite) my default browser when it hit 1.0 years ago. I later adopted Firefox because it focused on the features I really wanted.
