My Firefox Setup

Jun 29th 2005 ,

If you’re not using Firefox yet, there’s either something wrong with you or you’re using Apple’s Safari. Firefox is certainly one of my favorite pieces of software ever.

Shift Happens

Jun 16th 2005

I’ve been working on this new layout for a bit more than a week and I figured it was good enough for an initial release. I went for something a little more minimal this time but all the functions are still here (and even a few new things). This is still a work in progress, [...]
