The End?

Ken McCleod wrote this elegy.
Brad Delong suggests:

But there is an election coming up. If George W. Bush loses it, things may still be OK.

I’d have much more confidence in this if congress were moving the impeachment process rapidly along.


Firefox 0.9

The latest version of Firefox is now available from a server near you.
As usual, I’ve loaded it on one of my systems and will work with it for a few days before putting it on the other four.
A couple of items:

  • I don’t like the new default theme. When time permits I’ll try out some of the other available themes.
  • The installation was not as smooth as I have previously experienced. 0.9 did not want to use my 0.8 profile and I ended up having to copy/import various files. Of course, this also meant that all my remembered signons, etc., got dumped.

Well, I’ll futz around and see if I can find the claimed easy way to import this stuff.
Tim Bishop wonders whether Firefox is moving backwards.
I should note that Jen let me know earlier today that this release is out.
