Firefox 3 RC1 - 'Awesomeness' redefined

Let me say this at the very onset – I was never a Firefox fanboi. I really depended upon IE for my development/browsing needs – on Windows of course. Joining my current organization, I got weaned away from my dependence on IE, and rediscovered Firefox after a gap of nearly 3

GFXUtil FTW!

I can report unequivocally the success of the GFXString hack for com.apple.Boot.plist! I followed an excellent tutorial I found on the Interwebs (can link if so requested), that outlined how to extract the Hex string for my GFX card. I did follow the instructions, plug it in

Dashcode & Widget development

A languorous Sunday is fodder for the developer within. Today I decided to give the much touted (and often brick-batted) Dashcode Widget development app a whirl. Dashcode can be downloaded as a part of the Xcode developers toolset from the ADC member website. The whole package is around 1.

So Saturday, Rissa’s day off from studies of the medical kind took us to Aachen. It was a glorious day indeed, in spite of the weather that decided to play spoilsport. But hey nothing dampens our spirits, if we could make BRU fun, Aachen is gold! Directly from the
