As usual, I’ve been rather busy lately, and neglecting this site. Sorry! I even missed owenrudge.net’s 11th birthday, which happened on the 28th of November. (I was somewhat busy flying across the Atlantic that day, not helped by all the snow in Scotland at the time!)

I in theory should have a new version of Foxamp, compatible with Firefox 4.0, at some point in the near future. Other than that, I will try to post a blog with a bit more of an update sometime in the near future, but I have another traversal of the Atlantic next weekend, before settling down for Christmas in the UK. 🙂

Catch you in another few months…

EDIT: Ugh, after having just installed the latest Firefox beta to play around with, I’m really, really, not liking the UI changes they’ve made. Looks like there may be quite a bit of work to update Foxamp, too, and I’m in no rush to do that with this horrible new UI. Inevitably I’ll have to migrate eventually, I suppose. I do wish people would stop messing up perfectly good UIs, or at least removing the options that allow old UI features to continue to be used (e.g., completely removing the status bar in Firefox 4.0; removing the classic Start menu in Windows 7; the entire UI in Office 2007/2010 – which, admittedly, I do find to be quite handy for most things now that I’ve got used to it, but it can still be a puzzle to find some random old command I use once in a blue moon, but I digress.) But anyway…
