Dustin's Software Development Cogitations and Speculations

This blog is about my observations and thoughts related to software development. These observations include tips and tricks that I have learned, solutions to problems I have faced, and other concepts I have found interesting and useful. This blog is intended to provide information to help other developers facing the same issues as well as providing me a method to document things in a well-known location for my own future reference.


Firefox 3 Download Day

 

Tomorrow (Tuesday, June 17, 2008) is the day in which there will be an attempt to set a Guinness World Record for the most software downloads in 24 hours (downloading of Firefox 3). While it can be fun to be part of such an event, I am looking forward to the many new features of Firefox 3. I'll be doing my part to contribute to Firefox 3 Download Day 2008 by downloading Firefox 3 on all of my computers during the 24-hour period. This short blog entry is my small contribution to spreading the word.

I am similarly looking forward to the release of Microsoft Internet Explorer 8, which is supposed to be significantly more standards compliant than previous versions of MSIE.
