Some random computerish tidbits-

I just updated my Firebird installation to 0.7. The ‘automatic bookmark update checker’ thing actually works now. Hoo-ray.

I ditched iTunes for Winamp5 the other day, and I feel all warm inside. The media library puts 3.x’s to shame, and it’s a heck of a lot faster than iTunes.

Microsoft’s running a big developer’s conference next week in Los Angeles, and they’re going to be revealing a lot more info about the next version of Windows, codenamed Longhorn. Longhornblogs.com is a bunch of blogs worth reading in the next few days. I mostly only care about Avalon, the super secret new GUI which will be revealed for the first time at the conference. It could either be really cool, or it could just be some stupid rehashing of the Start menu like they’ve been doing for the past 7 years. We’ll see.
