I know it has been a long time since I’ve updated Glasser. This has been compounded by loosing access to my server because of a bad update that killed SSH, but also work and getting a new server set up has slowed it.
I will admit that Firefox Preloader is kind of pointless to maintain now, there is just little need for it anymore. I will release a fix for Glasser soon, but only for 32-bit Firefox, before Thanksgiving. I hope to have my new server up next year.

According to MalwareBytes, the security company IOBit, based in China has stolen their database of signature and incorporated it into their software’s database of signature. They determined this by using a fake detection that would have only appeared in their database and caught them red-handed.

For anyone who has been waiting for any updates for my Firefox stuff, it won’t be happening for a while. My webserver is botched and I am trying to move to a new host. In the mean time, everything is still downloadable.

If anyone has tried registering on the forums lately and was presented with a security warning, the issue is now fixed. Seems I didn’t read the manual as good as I thought I did

Great news! I have released the next version of the Glasser extension for Firefox 3.1 today. This one includes fixes for 3.1b3, which is on the only version it will work with now, and the address bar issues. This also the first version that will be supported from Sleeping Cats and not mozillaZine or Neowin, so remember to post issues in the forums here.

I’ve been working on this first version for a while now, and I think it is ready. The first release of TCL-R marks the beginning of what I hope will be a great project. This version is really minimal and can only be compiled on Visual Studio 2008 as a static library at the moment. It is only an interpreter in a library and isn’t designed to be used as a shell or full TCL distribution.

I am currently working on version 2.0 of the Firefox Preloader. Although I am a ways from it’s actual release, a beta version will be coming soon. You can visit it’s project page to find out more about it. It’s mostly to fix compability problems with newer versions of Firefox’s Software Updater utility, but the final release will finally include support for foriegn languages.

Well, I have moved hosts to one with more features and now I’m setting up a new blog so to say. It still uses all the old data so the old posts will remain but many new features are to come. Of those, I will now start hosting my software projects directly from my site. This includes any that I’ve hosted from SourceForge in the past that I plan to continue.
I will also be adding a forum for support requests for my projects soon, but I haven’t selected the software yet or anything. This will be where I will probably check more for bugs and feature requests and the such.
I have plans for many other features too so keep a look out.

Today Mozilla Firefox 3 has finally been released. This release, which has been in beta and RC for months, marks a great leap in the usability of Firefox. These improvements include better support for the look of native widgets, the new AwesomeBar which integrates with the bookmarks and history, better JavaScript performance and lower and more maintained memory usage. Also, under the hood changes now allow Firefox 3 to pass the infamous Acid2 test and history and bookmarks are now stored using SQLite.

Some of Microsoft’s Window Live applications seems to be redundant for Vista, but some really seem kind of cool. Take for instance Window Live Writer. I’ve seen similar functionality in Flock, and other dedicated applications, but I really like Live Writer, just feels better. This is actually my first post using it and I may continue using it for future posts.
It support most of the popular blogging software packages and of course Microsoft’s own Spaces. The look and feel really are much better than using the WordPress editor, and the application is definitely more responsive than any JavaScript based interface. (Except Firefox’s engine which powers it’s chrome)
