Released: Mailfrom 0.2.5 and Future Development
Mailfrom 0.2.5 was released today. This version fixed a defect to provide Firefox 3.6 compatibility and provides support for Windows Live Hotmail.
I've realised for some time that Firefox now provides limited out-of-the-box support for Yahoo Mail and GMail as the target for mailto links. So I'm going to change the purpose of mailfrom from replacing the built-in functionality to enhancing it.
As an experiment, I've moved the source code management to github. I've not used git before and I'm interested to see what the fuss is about!
Released: Modify Headers 0.6.6
Back in April I released Modify Headers 0.6.6. This version fixes a bug in the import function introduced in 0.6.5.
This last weekend, I tested Modify Headers, XHTML Mobile Profile and Mailfrom on Firefox 3.5b4 successfully. All the addons are now updated to work with the beta.
Release: Modify Headers 0.6.5
Modify Headers 0.6.5 was released over the weekend. This adds a new column on the list of headers to provide a comment for each entry. In addition an enhancement to float the admin window to the top if a user clicks on the Tools menu item was implemented.
The new release should update automatically for most users, or it can be downloaded At Mozilla Addons.
It’s good to be back
At long last I've been able to get the blog back up and running after almost a month of down time. At the end of June my webhost had a double disk failure on the server that hosts the virtual server and all the data was lost!
Thankfully I had setup a daily cron job to email a backup of all the databases. It's taken a few weeks to get everything back up and running. First I had to get some websites I host restored, second work has been incredibly busy (50 - 80 hrs a week) and on top of that I've been working on a new website for a charity here in Seattle. At long last I've had the time to get the blog back.
This should serve as a warning to anyone who has a virtual server: KEEP REGULAR BACKUPS.
The Actor Gareth Hunt
I was very sad to hear of the death yesterday of the British actor, Gareth Hunt. A number of people have been coming to this website in search of information about him. More information can be found at the BBC and IMDB.
My condolences go out to his family.
