Hey, you know what nobody would expect? The Spanish Inquisition! Oh, and me posting to a blog. That would be like, whoa. So I'm going to. Yeah.
Firefox 2 is awesome. I'll just leave it at that, I guess. Or maybe not. Runs much faster, and the streamlining of search engines and add-ons are great. Continuing my personal open-source-update-revolution, I downloaded Gaim 2.0 beta 4. Since I only had the 2.0 beta packages for *nix before, and was running 1.5 on Windows, I upgraded my Guifications to a beta-compatible version. Toaster pop-ups for everyone (er, people with Gaim 2.0 betas, anyway)! Desparately looking for more open source software to upgrade, I snagged the newest version of OpenOffice.Org. I haven't examined the changes there, but it looks like they're streamlining an extension project of their own, which would certainly be interesting, and make customizing it simultaneously easier and more powerful.
So - after this revolution of stuff, I noticed mention of improved RSS handling in Firefox. I've been using Sage, an RSS extension for Firefox, for some time now to check news feeds without actually having to load news sites, but it finally occurred to me that I can store Live Bookmarks to blogs in my Sage RSS folder - therefore, I can check blogs a lot faster and more efficiently.
But, I wondered - could there not also be some decent extension to allow the converse? A way to quickly update a blog when immediately when I find interesting things?
Yeah. There is (it would be quite ironic if this doesn't actually work). Performancing is an extension that adds an HTML editor and blog publishing capabilities to Firefox. Pretty groovy. There seem to be additional tools related to bloggery, but I haven't bothered to check most of them - I never really got into del.icio.us or anything, and the page tools seem to be temporarily down.
So yeah - random Firefox-extension-powered-updates? Quite possible. But right now, it's 3:20, and my roommate is asleep, so I should probably stop typing so loudly. I probably wouldn't be awake, were it not for the fact that I have neglected to do my laundry until entirely out of shirts, and even then, failed to remember until only recently this morning.
