A new version of G-mailto is available. Version 1.1 gives you a choice which browser you'd like to open the compose window in. In addition to the update to this already great program, there's a link on the page to a Firefox plug-in that does the same thing. This is nice if you use it at work and your default e-mail client is Outlook. With the Firefox plugin you can still send mailto links to GMail!

Firefox 0.9.1 is coming
The Burning Edge: Firefox 0.9.1 is coming. Mostly bug fixes for the theme and extension manager. The default theme will also be tweaked.
Viruses and the University Network
Some good discussion and off-topic bantering going on at Slashdot about "Should Colleges Monitor Students' PCs?" The liberal-arts college in question is forcing PC users to download and install software that will allow patches and virus definitions to be pushed onto the computer. A very hands-free solution for the student, but it raises some privacy concerns. I also don't like what I'm hearing about how MAC addresses can be changed.

AOL Employee Steals 92 Million Screennames for Spammers
Check out the Google News listing. I think everybody who has anything to do with data security isn't surprised at something like this happening. Make all the AOL jokes you want -- it could be any ISP.

Not rain nor sleet nor snow will stop delivery of our email posts
For the last couple of days, Blogger wouldn't accept any email postings. IceBurrg and I sent a few test posts that didn't get delivered until sometime this afternoon or evening. I removed those posts, and learned that when posting via email, Blogger doesn't interpret HTML code in plain-text messages. Sigh. I have way too much fun putting in my own link tags.
mini Mini with a Mini
chopper_D's recent purchase is pretty nice. With this Gizmodo news of Mini Coopers getting the built-in iPod Mini's, perhaps he might be feeling a little twinge of buyer's remorse.
