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.

This release adds the string [XHTML-MP] to the title of a document that is being handled using the XHTML Mobile Profile addon. Go to Mozilla Update to install.

Today the Firefox addon, Web Developers Toolbar, was updated. After restarting, none of the icons were displayed on the toolbar. The problem was the theme used: Phoenity. Turns out that Phoenity is no longer supported by its author. So looking for a new theme I found Blue Ice. Its simple, understated and supports the web developer toolbar icons.

This made me look at the theme for this blog. It had been using the Neat (link no longer available) theme, but I’ve decided its too dull. So until I can find (or design) a better one, the default theme is going to have to do.

About two months ago, we decided to take some golf lessons. I had not had lessons before, but had hacked around the nine hole municipal course near Caerleon in South Wales more than ten years ago.

So after taking a few lessons at the Bellevue municipal course and a few rounds at the Crossroads par 3 course, I got my first Birdie! (OK, it was the ninth at the Crossroads course and I had shot 6 on the fourth. But it came off the back of 3 pars in the round.)

It was a great feeling and hopefully the first of many.

Now that Firefox 2 has been released and the Modify Headers upgrade to support it completed, I have finally got round to fixing an usability issue that has been irritating me for a while.

Previously when clicking the Edit button, the header name and value would be placed in the appropriate text box, but the action select would not change, it would always be stuck on Add. Now, this has been resolved.

Firefox auto-update will handle this for most people, but if you don’t have Modify Headers, go install it from Mozilla Update.

This point release provides support for Firefox 2 final release. Please install from Mozilla Update.

Volantis has released a tool that enables anybody to mobilize their website. The mobilization does not happen on the fly, instead this service takes a copy of the content and transforms it into a device independent format. Predefined rules are then used to adapt the content for different types of device.

To mobilize your website, click on Start Here and follow the instructions. To see what this blog looks like, see garethhunt.volantis.net

This release simply provides the version number for Firefox 2. It will allow Modify Headers to be installed on the release candidates and the final 2.0 version. As always, install at Mozilla Update.

Please report any issues at modifyheaders.mozdev.org.

This new release provides support for Firefox 2.0b2, Flock, Seamonkey and the Mozilla Suite. The install for all browsers can be found at Mozilla Update. (This works for Flock too).

Please report any issues at modifyheaders.mozdev.org.

A user of Nvu asked for Modify Headers to be ported to the mozilla based editor. Version 0.5.2 for Nvu is now available.
