Oodles of free storage, well 2gb, to store your files online - just by dragging to a local folder which then syncs. It does version control, which is cool, but the main feature is that you can then access your files from anywhere via the web interface. Files in the public folder can also be directly linked to, enabling them to be shared with anyone else with a browser to download or view them. I’ll come up with a more worthwhile review once I’ve used it a bit more… Sadly I’m out of invitations, so if you want an account you’ll have to sign up for a beta invitation from them and hope. Cross your fingers and whatnot. There will be free accounts when it comes out of the beta, so don’t fear you’re missing the train completely!
You’ll find the main site here, and the FAQ here. Rumour has it, you can also sign-up here, with the beta code of dropblog as shown at the bottom.
Excellent chundy. I’ve never uploaded anything before, more to come soon - particularly house dancing. That’s not houses dancing nor dancing to house music, but house members dancing to something like Lee Dorsey. Requests for music to dance to here please, or by carrier pigeon.
It’s been a while folks, but wait no longer. He she is! Poor weather today has resulted in a slightly dull image, but I’m sure it’ll be enough to quench your inquisitive thirst for tree-cam.
Just when you thought it couldn’t possibly get any worse…
More warnings on this one: we’ve got abuse to Teletubbies, an apparent goose step and seemingly handmade clothes from the 1980s. I’m going to link to her profile to increase her delusions of grandeur.
Added them again, after issues noted previously… and saw no point in them, I won’t use them. So they were deleted again. Still liking Firefox 3 RC1 though, apart from that!
If you do delete them and want them back, you’ll be able to find a guide here though.
Release Candidate 1 is now available (from here), the point at which I generally upgrade, so I installed it yesterday. It’s nice. Very nice. Much quicker than Firefox 2 and appears to hog less memory after a full day’s use. Extensions generally work, but most still aren’t registered as compatible and will be disabled by default. To get around this, enter about:config in the address bar and agree to the warning. Then, search for the key:
Change the value to false by double clicking it. If it doesn’t already exist as it didn’t on mine, you can right click and add a key of type boolean with the above name and value set to false. A restart of Firefox will then get most of your extensions working again! If you’re really bothered about potentially not having to reinstall Firefox, then either disable all your extensions until you can verify they work definitely, or don’t do this step…
I’ve now just got to find a way to get my Smart Bookmarks back again after overwriting them using Foxmarks - the key that needs changing is again missing on my system. Incidentally, you need a beta version of Foxmarks to be compatible with Firefox 3, available with discussion from here for which you’ll need to login to participate. A direct link to the area can be found here.
I wanted notifications on my MacBook for new mail arriving, like I get on Windows and Linux, so went searching for something that would fit the task. As I’ve already got Growl running and providing notifications for everything else, it made sense to use:
This is stated as compatible with Firefox and Thunderbird. You can see it in action with a screenshot of it telling me I’d completed a download of something in Firefox. One grumble I’ve got is that the Thunderbird notifications aren’t very descriptive, only showing the subject rather than the sender too. Perhaps they can fix that in a newer version?! Current version is 1.0.2, don’t get the older version of 0.3 or such as I made the mistake of at first, it appeared first in the Google results.
