Time.now.obsession = PSP Slim

November 29th, 2007

Jeanne d’Arc is a great little SRPG I’m enjoying right now - I don’t even want to start Final Fantasy Tactics until after I’ve completed Jeanne d’Arc.

I have a Nintendo DS Lite as well and I have to say that I’m more of a PSP gamer where portable consoles are concerned. There just weren’t that many involved games in the DS (except Puzzle Quest) and coming from a big fantasy CRPG background kinda made the DS a poor companion on train and bus rides. Being able to play videos on a large screen (relative to the iPod video I carry around all the time) is awesome. It’s not an iPhone but it’s good enough for watching videos!

Try the new Mac OS X UI for Firefox 3

November 20th, 2007

The Firefox 3 developers have been working on a visual refresh that integrates more tightly into the OS, and the Mac OS X version is looking pretty sweet. Well, public opinion varies greatly - from people who feel that it’s a rip off of Safari to those who really like the Brushed Metal look (myself included).

Well, if you wanna check out the proposed Mac OS X Firefox 3 UI for yourself, grab yourself a copy of Firefox 3 Beta 1 and go get the Proto theme.

Firefox 3, Beta

November 20th, 2007

Firefox 3 Beta 1 is out! Check out the pretty sweet list of changes.

If you want to try it, you’ll probably want to run Firefox 3 and Firefox 2 at the same time. Only this time you should remember to rename Firefox 3 so that it doesn’t override your install of Firefox 2.

I’d blogged about some of the changes previously if you care for some screenshots of some of the new features (Mozilla Links covers a good number of new Firefox 3 changes too):

• Resumable downloading: users can now resume downloads after restarting the browser or resetting your network connection.
• supports Growl for notifications of completed downloads and available updates.
• Easier password management: an information bar replaces the old password dialog so you can now save passwords after a successful login.
• Optimized Open in Tabs behavior: opening a folder of bookmarks in tabs now appends the new tabs rather than overwriting.
