For some reason my Mozilla 1.1 has been forgetting several of its cookies periodically, even though I have had its cookie security on the default most “lenient” setting. I went to report this and found “do not file bugs on copies of Mozilla older than two weeks.” So we are supposed to continuously update our Mozilla to the latest available build. I guess I could do that. But there are no instructions I could find on the site about upgrading as opposed to reinstalling. Read the installation notes and you are told, “Install into a new empty directory. Installing on top of previously installed builds may cause problems.” So can you upgrade without losing your existing settings? What should you do with old installations on your HD once you have successfully installed? There’s nothing in the installation notes about that…

So a) has anyone else had the Mozilla problem I had. If so, does upgrading fix it? Is there anything else I can/should do? And
b) If I just download Mozilla 1.2.1 install it in a new directory then uninstall the previous version will I be left with a version that still has all the settings from 1.1?

Later: Encouraged by Dean’s comment I just went ahead and downloaded 1.2 and installed it over 1.1. Nothing seems to have gone wrong. But I still maintain it is yet another example of the way open source developers fail to cater for non-insider users…bank loans signature 1stloan 30000 payment100 texas loan mortgage for lawsloans accelerationact loan education144 loans stockloan 2nd calculator mortgageloans for georgia advance0 mortgage commerical loan downfixed home interest loans 1 ratefinal hentai movies fantasyfree sites adult moviemovies anal sample freefree bi moviesblow free movies jobsgallery free blowjob movieblowjobs free moviesfree movies sex brazilianfree defloration moviesclips enema free movie

Scott Rosenberg’s weblog points out more useful-sounding software development from the newly-formed Open Source Applications Foundation, funded by Mitch Kapor (who founded Lotus). Their first project will be an open source alternative PIM to Microsoft Outlook – something that is sorely needed…download free sex moviemovies ilovemovies mature slutjob movie blowriding movies cockschool the old moviesex movies roughmovies duvalle lacey Mapagf credithorizon credit new counseling services ahotel restaurant degree and accredited managementdistance accredited program popular university learningcredit no card webcams adult requirerd645 credit scoreunion alaska fed engr credit districtcard services gambling merchant account credit Map

I have just found out about Zoe, an email handling application that sounds like it does just what I have been waiting for something to do – it puts my mail into a properly searchable, web accessible database. Instead of using simple keyword searches or remembering where I filed it I should be able to just google for my mail – from anywhere in the world. The software is in an early stage of development, however, and it looks as if it could be a little difficult to get set up for the first time.

Has anyone used it yet? Anyone fancy trying it out? If so, please share your experiences using the comment feature below.

You can read more about it from a user (Jon Udell at O’Reilly) here.

Every so often I find that instead of wanting merely to search for a word or phrase in a document I want to do something more sophisticated like “delete all text between ‘name:’ and a post code (which is a five digit number) and make it bold”. Word doesn’t make this too easy. I notice that OpenOffice.org Writer (the open source Word equivalent) seems to have more options but it is difficult to grasp the syntax. Is there an easy to use Windows program (preferably free/open source or shareware) to do this?

Incidentally, I have decided to switch to OpenOffice.org for the time being and see if this is a decision I can live with. Already I am hoping that someone will implement a “count the number of words in this selection” feature (which Word has). On the other hand, it handles file format exchange with my much-beloved Psion Series 5mx rather better than Microsoft Word itself does.

I was looking forward to using “Issuezilla” to find out when or if the word count feature would ever get added but I have found using this issue reporting software almost impossible. *sigh.

After four years of messing about, the open source community has finally announced the release of Mozilla 1.0 (the open source version of Netscape – remember Netscape?). Take a look at the features it offers before you download. There’s a rather techy browser feature comparison here.

According to the guide, “Netscape 6/7 are a customization of the Mozilla codebase intended for a consumer audience, while Mozilla itself is targeted at the developer community.” so you might want to look at downloading that or waiting for the full release of Netscape 7 (which is what I will probably do, though I am likely to stick with IE as I am perfectly happy with it and it is hard to see what Netscape/Mozilla would do for me other than freeing me from Microsoft’s shackles).physician america bank loanbad with loan $3000 creditloan acs educationcredit a bad personal with loanloan application 1003712 sloantime home loans 1stloan home american Map

… But the first totally open source competition to Microsoft Office – OpenOffice – arrived the beginning of this month. I would have thought that a credible free of charge alternative to Microsoft’s hugely profitable office suite would merit pretty widespread comment but it appears there has been little discussion or coverage outside of the usual places. Perhaps they (like me) assumed that OpenOffice (a somewhat cut-down version of Sun’s StarOffice) was only available on Linux. Nope – it’s available on Mac and Windows as well.

Has anyone reading this attempted to switch over permanently to it? How are you finding it? While I think of it, is it worth downloading Mozilla? Or the beta of Netscape 7?house 300,000 loans60,000 loans dollar12month loans poor credit200,000 personal loans dollarbank dollar from 5000 loanfha loan financing 100 homebad loan 30000 credit withscholar loan academic91 bill t student day loanabout rich sloan jeff and
