Firefox 3, Drupal, iPhone, and Other Shiny Things
Well, this isn’t really about accessories — more like enhancements to the internet experience.
You can preview the newest incarnation of FireFox from GetFireFox.com. Firefox 3 has some great features including the AWESOME BAR. The address bar KNOWS where you want to go. It knows…..
I’ve also been working with other CMS, including Drupal. Personally, I think Joomla is easier to set up and much more intuitive than Drupal when it comes to getting started, but I can see why people like Drupal. Still, I’m really a Joomla girl at heart. It’s like imprinted in my brain. I have to sign up for that mysql/PHP class but I shudder to think about the gas it will take to go to Riverside. Really, it isn’t that far and it’s only once a week, so I should totally go, but if gas hits $5, i want to weep.
I’ve a couple of projects to do for some of my friends. I was thinking that it might be better to hold off until I have some classes under my belt to really enhance their pages. I’ve gotten away with setting up sites without a lot of core knowledge other than my HTML skills and my ability to figure things out. And while it’s done me plenty good, I’d like to be a little more solid in my background knowledge.
1. a new phone.
2. a camera.
3. a way to cyber-stalk my friends from everywhere.
But…. I’m not so sure I want to get it. I’m kind of leaning towards getting a new laptop….
My mac-mini has been acting weird. When I plug in more than one USB item into the ports, it stops working. I have a Belkin Mac mini 6-port USB 2.0 and FireWire Hub and it is not working either. It’s so strange. I tried to reset everything to no avail. Strangely enough, I can plug in my keyboard & mouse in one usb port and my iPod nano in the other and that works…. the Hub does not.
So I have to make a few decisions…. It would be better to actually save money, so I will probably end up doing that. Stimulating the economy bedamned.
