I just went to a page that required the Viewpoint plugin. Okay, I clicked on the FFox link that said install now. It couldn't find it but had a link to the Viewpoint webpage that had the download. Very convenient. Yay. And then I clicked on that link (from the Viewpoint page) and a window opened with a download link and a message that said "This page requires the Viewpoint Player".

lol. Fabulous. Design a page to download a plugin that requires the plugin to completely render. It didn't interfere with the download of the plugin, but man it looks stupid!

Kudos to the Firefox folks for making plugin installation easier.

We all know Bush is less than stellar at public speaking. I think the real problem is that when he doesn't have every last comment written down for him his true stupidity rises to the surface and he tries to banter. Here's another take on it: http://chipware.net/~chip/bushspeeches.mov

Pretty funny until you realize, Damn, this is our president.

There is a new mozilla extension tutorial up. Or rather the 2nd phase of the one that was there before. I've added the ability to localize using the locale and skin folders. Next up an example that opens a seperate XUL window and can be installed into Firefox and Thunderbird.
