Mozilla is dog slow today. Why? Because they’re launching Firefox 3 any time now.

Be a part of history. Download Firefox 3 today.

UPDATE: I just received an email (below) to tell me to start downloading. However, the whole Mozilla site right now is apparently under heavy traffic.

Protoscript’s about us wiki page has tons of spam links and seems like nobody is there to delete them.

I don’t know who to contact since there’s no contact information page. Anyone knows? Please let them know.

Very old but still very cool to see php.net’s easter egg every April 1.

On your own server, you can see the dog by appending ?=PHPE9568F36-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42 on your URL.

Like this.

To all WP fans out there, the latest version is out. It was scheduled 2 weeks ago but I guess some stability work was needed to be ironed out.

We love you Wordpress!

Download the latest update here.

We all know that a lot of (if not most) web developers love using Firefox for development. Mainly because of its simplicity, community support and functionality to extend the browser using add-ons.

It is also not a secret that we know that 60% or more* of our web users are still using IE. Most likely, half of those are IE7.

Now, to even the game of preferred development browser (sort of), there is a new update for IE7Pro (version 2.1).

IE7Pro is an app to extend your IE7 installation adding lots of Firefox-like features which you (web developer) need.

The app might get you to use IE7 more for development. Really. Why? It packs tons of improvements to IE7 and extend it like Firefox.

Some main features includes

• Enhancement of IE’s Tabbed Browsing Capabilities
• Super Drag and Drop
• Mouse Gestures (ala Opera)
• Crash Recovery (yeah! we need this!)
• Save Page to Image
• Quick Proxy Switcher
• AD Blocker (finally!)
• Greasy monkey alike User Script
• Inline Search
• Spell Check
• And a lot more…

More screenshots after the jump.

So, do you want to give IE7 another shot? Or do you want to simply check out what IE7Pro can offer? If your answer is yes to any of those, then get the app directly here.

It might be worth your time.

*Based on sites I handle/d

The blogosphere waited for the much awaited release of Wordpress 2.5 which was scheduled today 3.10. However, upon checking wordpress.org, version 2.5 isn’t out yet.

Obviously, it is delayed. But I don’t see anything on the net that says this.

Well, I’ll try to check later again to see if there’s anything that will show up.

Maybe it’s my timezone? DST?
