It’s Aids day….or thus Google tells me with the Ribbon on their front page. So here is an article about Dying kids in developing countries. I haven’t read this whole thing yet…but I figured people would be interested.
Also, for Jeff, if you get Firefox you can add Live Bookmarks which I found a great way to check headlines at work without going to the page and wasting work time…then later I read the whole story at home, or at lunch. The idea is, that these bookmarks check “feeds” ever 5 minutes or so, and grab new headlines. Here is the NPR’s List of Feeds, which has their different kinds of news, and their other programming. To make a “live bookmark to them you go to your bookmark manager, click file – add live bookmark..and just drop the link from that page in there. Also, in firefox if a icon appears in the lower right of a status bar, you can just click on it and select “add feed.” Works for LJ’s, BBC, NPR, AP World News, Slashdot…I got a ton of them. Just one more reason to use FireFox.
Check it out…Firefox is better than IE, if you don’t use it you should….unless you use a MAC, then you can get Camino…which is like firefox only developed for MACs.
Now, back to work.

I’ve been using Firefox on my Windows machines, and Mozilla on my Linux box in my erstwhile office for the past couple of years, and like it a lot. It’s fast (ok, not Mozilla), and tabbed browsing is a great idea.
I will say, though, that occasionally you bump up against a site that’s designed for quirks in IE, and Firefox doesn’t handle it quite right. And you should expect to have to download patches and stuff for Flash etc. that you don’t have to mess with in IE.
Still, I recommend it. It’s my default browser.
