New Blog Software
I have recently switched over to Wordpress as the blogging software I’m using. It has a nicer interface and is a bit more powerful than bBlog. Unfortunately some of the content has not been migrated over yet. You can still find the old content here.
Expect an update in here soon as its the weekend, and I haven’t put my biggest news of all up here yet.

Firefox
In case you haven’t heard – Firefox is about to take over the world – no really.
Seriously though, its an amazing product. Rather than rave about it here I’ll direct you to the main page at http://www.mozilla.org/ where you can download it.
Also if anyone wants to design a favicon for me, I’m willing to accept submissions, but only keep the best.
On another note “Ben Goodger has posted some screenshots of the new Firefox Options/Preferences window.”

bBlog Upgrade
Finally took the plunge to 0.7.4 of bBlog. The installation went mostly OK, in that I didn’t lose any data. However at one point the upgrade script failed to create a table, which is rather worrying for people that don’t know what they’re doing. Fortunately I did.
Anyway there is now decent rss feeds in this version, which was easy enough to tweak the template to add the live bookmarks in firefox. http://www.getfirefox.com/ which is an alternative browser to Internet Explorer. I would recommend that you download and try it out if you can – the link is above. Instructions for getting rss feeds working in firefox can be found at http://www.nuketown.com/templates/blog.php?id=540 or below.

Wow, two posts in the same day – this is getting serious. Anyway, I’ll be working on the template over the next few days, so that I can add some extra features to the site and integrate it with the rest of the site.

Ubuntu Linux
See http://www.ubuntulinux.org/ for a version of linux that just works straight out of the box. Ubuntu is based on debian but actually has a working amd64 port which is cool. I found, however that there wasn’t enough control over what was included by default in the install. As a result many daemons are started which are not necessary for the typical user. On the other hand it does seem useful for corporate installations where multiple duplicate machines are required.
All in all, an interesting piece of work. Gentoo is still my preferred choice though.
