Foul Writer’s World

My favorite browser has been upgraded. If you want to see what other browsers should be doing you can go a download a copy of Opera 10 from:

The new “Turbo” feature really does seem to speed things up. It looks like Google Gears finally has some competition.

Sorry all. I’ve been really busy lately and I haven’t had time to post much. However, I’m hoping to get back up to speed with some new posts soon.

In the meantime here is my pick of interesting news:

•  Windows 7 is shaping up well I’ve been testing recently and I have had very few problems. There is an interesting post by Scott Fulton about why you should upgrade.
• I’m considering getting my very own James Bond watch
• Can’t believe what they named a rat eating plant.

Dan over at Flip Side Coin has just released his book. The book details the the year he and his wife spent out in Uganda as part of VSO service.

Dan is a Tech. Writer with amazing talent and from following his antics through his blog i’m sure that the book will be a great read. Can’t wait to get hold of my copy.

Well WordPress 2.7.1 didn’t last long for me. I’ve now upgraded to the latest release.

I’m really liking the automatic upgrade feature. Makes life so mush easier.
