The Ryndex

Alright, the Czech chocolate bar contest is over. My Firefox advocacy will only surface when I have something new to say.

Like now. Firefox has the 1.0 Preview Release out. That means that it’s nearly out of beta. No new features are to be added, and no major bugs are expected, and it’s clear sailing to the next version.

Five seconds after installing Firefox 1.0PR, I noticed a funny box in the browser status bar, which said RSS. You may remember RSS as one of the syndication formats that I discussed here, here and here.

Any blog that provides an RSS feed will have this button on the bottom, and when you click on it, it creates a majick folder in your bookmarks which will automatically contain all of the recent posts on that blog. As the blog updates, so does the majick folder.

Do you see? Do you get it? Isn’t that pure ingenuity? Aren’t you amazed?

Hmm, I’ll open the Czech chocolate bar contest for just long enough for Snowy P. Cat to switch — there’s one particularly Czech chocolate bar that was conceived just for you. I don’t mean to threaten, but I’m particularly concerned for your immortal soul under Internet Explorer, and I’m just crazy enough to eat that damn chocolate bar myself. So help me.
