Just updated recently to the new FF3.1b2 but a lot of my extensions were not compatible.

I listen to a mix of science and technology podcasts with a few entertaining shows mixed in for some variety. Here’s my list:
.NET
- .Net Rocks!
.NET Rocks! is a weekly talk show for anyone interested in programming on the Microsoft .NET platform. The shows range from introductory information to hardcore geekiness.
- dnrTV
dnrTv is a fusion of a training video and an interview show. Training videos are typically sterile and one-way. Let’s face it, you can only take so much. But you need to see the code! In this format, you get the spontaneity of an interview talk show, and the detail of a webcast or training video.
I picked up a post on Lifehacker about Windows Live Writer Tweaks, Tips, and Updates and decided to give it a spin. In fact I’m writing this blog post with the latest CTP (12.0.1366.1026).
For my past posts I have been trying out ecto and MarsEdit on OSX since I’ usually blog when I’m at home and predominantly use OSX for my everyday needs. I only pop into windows at work (through VMWare Fusion) to do .NET development in Visual Studio 2008.
My wife Michelle is in need of a new computer. So my usefulness factor has just increased 10 fold.
Her current system is an aging 3-4 year old computer that I passed onto her when I got a new system 2 years ago.
This will in turn be passed onto my mother-in-law, who currently shares and fights over this computer with my wife. They mainly use it for a few games from PopCap, word processing, photo editing and printing and spending hours upon hours watching Korean Dramas.
I was considering buying a prebuilt computer system but these things swayed me away from that idea:
- it’s a lot cheaper - don’t have to pay for labor
- you get to choose quality components rather than rely on generic parts packaged into the system
- I get to get my hands dirty building a PC which I enjoy and haven’t done for a year or two now.
