Windows Update does this annoying "you absolutely must restart now, or later, by which I mean that I'll keep nagging you every 5 minutes" thing. It's a pain in the ass since the popup usually occurs only after you have just settled in to work - once all your programs are open and the windows arranged, ...

If you are using the Official Comments plugin with a recent WordPress version, you might be getting Database errors when you post a comment on your own blog. To fix these, open the official-comments.php file and change: in line 27: $tableusers -> $wpdb->users in line 40: $tablecomments -> $wpdb->comments

So, I just got the Flock Developer Preview (build 0.4.8). It's like Firefox on drugs. Blogger drugs. Pretty neat looking, it works (well, it's basically just rebranded Firefox with some extras), and it might even bring the revolution it so loudly speaks of on the website. At the very least, its "feed" button is large and ...

Asa Dotzler says Firefox 1.5 is almost ready. I wonder whether it will finally get the handling of soft hyphens (­) right. Bugzilla says it's not so. And here I was hoping for a standards-supporting, mature browser. Maybe I'll switch to Opera after all. They might not be Open Source, but they're open to user demands, ...
