Windows Vista Beta 2 on a Macbook Pro

eyedropp3r’s work laptop:

Update:
7/19/2006 7:44PM: eyedropp3r gave up on Vista because it didn’t recognize any Direct3D devices, so he couldn’t install a couple of video games. A worthy cause no doubt. Still a valiant effort sire! I’m going to attempt to convince him to give XP a whirl.

New Firefox/Mycroft search plugins

I administer the mail system for a fairly large lawfirm in Mississippi. The front end is a Linux system running Sendmail with MIMEDefang, ClamAV, and SpamAssassin. The back end is Microsoft Exchange 2000.

Every now and again, I’ll get a complaint from a user that someone’s email outside the firm is being blocked. I have our Sendmail server subscribed to a few DNSBLs. I find myself using a few website’s searches pretty frequently while doing research to fix a blacklist issue. Also being a fervent Firefox user, I use the search bar a lot too. It’s a very convenient way to utilize a website’s search function without having to surf to that site and then search.

I’ve created two Mozilla/Firefox search plugins for this exact purpose. I hope you will find them useful too.

A sad day

I was talking to a friend tonight, and one of my old girlfriends came up briefly in the conversation. Well, later on that night (just a few minutes ago actually) I decided to google for her name just to see what came up. A couple of memorial pages and an obituary came up as results. I looked at the results and sure enough it was her. The ’survived by’ information and the town she lived in all matched up. She passed away a little more than two years ago.

I’m deeply saddened that a bright spirit like hers is no longer with us. She was a wonderful person and I’ll never forget her.
