Firefox Frustration Alliteration

Thursday, November 16th, 2006

Firefox 2.0’s functionality caused a feverish frenzy of fits that feature words that start with “F,” friends. Since installing the new version, I am unable to get it to work.

Even uninstall/re-installs have proven fruitless. Or rather, the install works, but I when I go to open the program, I get a message saying that a previous Firefox process needs to be stopped first, or restart. Neither works, and I am losing patience fast. I can’t handle another hour of IE; I just can’t.

I am currently accepting any sympathy or useful “how to” tips you may have. Thanks in advance!

Update: Crisis averted, thanks to Lindsey and the MozillaZine Knowledge Base.

An Introduction to Podcasting

Thursday, November 9th, 2006

Before we launch ours, I thought I’d show you some of my favourite video podcasts, so you’ll know exactly where I’m borrowing most of my ideas from.

So today I present you with two great episodes from two different shows, that actually go oddly well together. Both address the question, “What is a podcast?” Both are funny and informative, and a bit cheeky, too.

First, I point you to an episode of The New Wrinkle, hosted and produced by Traviss and Amir, right here in Vancouver:

And…Welcome back! The second video in this installment is from Ze Frank’s ‘the show,’ where he explains “video blogging,” and introduces a new word; Rocketbooming! (No affiliation to the site)Now that we’ve been suitably ridiculed by these fellars, we return to video mode next week with exactly what Ze said we should; we’re going to talk about video blogging!
