Tuesday Tamagotchi
MovableType has finally commented on the record about spam in MT's comment section (see it here. The short of it is they are working on something but in the mean time they are recommending Jay Allen's MT-BlackList (see it here). Fellow Daynoter Phil Hough (see his site here) is also recommending the Black-List but has this link here. Both seem to go to the same place so use either one.
Phil reports the module is easy to install and seems to work quite nicely. Until MT themselves come up with something, perhaps this is the way to go. Before I can do that though, I'll need to reload the Perl scripts so it may be awhile before the comments go live again.
Mighty Mozilla. Be on the lookout for the 0.7 release of the Mozilla Firebird browser (see this page here). The site says it will be released "~ October 14, 2003" which happens to be today. This point release is way late (see the original Mozilla road map here which has "ideal" release date of 3 September. Of the three previous release dates, none have been so late as this one.) so one has to speculate whether the recent changeover from Netscape funding to a foundation threw a monkey wrench into the works.
In any case, the latest release should be out soon so keep checking the download page here if it's not there already.
Aloha!
