Firefox 1.5 RC2 Released

It’s been one year since Firefox 1.0 was released and we’re one step closer to 1.5 with the release of Release Candidate 2 this afternoon. If you’re running one of the betas or RC1, you should upgrade now (Help -> Check for Updates) or download the latest release. If all goes well, 1.5 final should be released within a week or two.

Wasted Weekend

Well the trip to Michigan ended up being pretty unproductive 😛

We left from the boathouse Friday around 4pm and drove about an hour to Janesville for some food. We stopped at an all-you-can eat place and completely destroyed the place within an hour. After that we drove for another 4 hours or so through Chicago and around the base of Lake Michigan stopping in Benton Harbor for the night. In the morning we went to a McDonalds that was across from the parking lot from us. The employees basically freaked out once we (60 people) had packed in and were standing in line – it took over 40 minutes to complete all of our orders.

I need ideas!!

Nice Day

It’s 62 degrees now, which means it’s t-shirt weather! It’s a great change from the mid-40’s and tomorrow is supposed to be almost 70! It’s a shame I still feel like crap, but the nice weather makes it a little easier to bear. School is going alright for now, although I now have to make up an exam because I slept through my alarm this morning XP

I found out today that we’ll be leaving for Michigan at 3:30pm on Friday and that since I’ve got a clean driving record, my coach wants me to drive a van. Of course doing this requires that I fill out a few forms and have them notarized – of course the only notary that’s close by is only open between 11am and 2pm Mon – Thur… which means I get no lunch tomorrow because that’s the only time I have free. 😐

And yes I realize I’ve made 3 entries in the past 24 hours, I’m trying to see how well the feed aggregator handles it.
