The new version of Firefox has been released, Firefox 1.5. I do like it better than 1.0.7, although I've still got the RC3 version both at work and at home, and neither one will auto-update to the final release version. Lame. I do like that you can drag and drop tabs now. Cool.
Music played way too often on the radio here (at least it's not all Dave Matthews Band!):
"Save Me" by Shinedown
"Stricken" by Disturbed
"Hypnotized" by System of a Down
"Truth" by Seether
"Goodbye For Now" by P.O.D.
"Right Here" by Staind
Microsoft has launched their One Care Live Security Beta (anti-virus service), which is currently free (but they'll charge in the future). Very interesting.

Well, what's been going on? We had a wonderful Thanksgiving lunch at the Wilsons', followed by a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner at Ginger's. I ate too much, of course. Very tasty, though. Mmmmmm.
We've been having lots of fog (and a little snow!) in the Treasure Valley this past week. Very eerie.
Blogger now does this weird pinging thing periodically, then tells you if it can't 'phone home'. It's bizarre because it causes the bottom portion of the screen to flash every once-in-awhile, apparently using an Ajax-like mechanism to see if your post will get posted or not (in advance) - if not, it displays a nice little message saying "Could not connect to Blogger.com. Saving and publishing may fail. Test connection now." I've only seen it a few times, as it doesn't happen that often. (It normally goes away in about a second.)
We watched Nerea's kids this past Saturday morning. They enjoyed playing with Becky and Jared. Becky and Jared got sick on Sunday, Jared with a cough, and Becky with a fever and unsettled stomach. They're better now, though.
Am I the only one who hasn't seen this yet? DNA genealogy:
Where/How do you get DNA from a deceased relative?
We went shopping with Darlene and Bonny at Boise Towne Mall on Saturday night. Bonny and Becky both got some Book Thongs at Waldenbooks.
I scored "Seinfeld" Season 5 on DVD for my birthday, also. We watched the infamous "Puffy Shirt" episode - not as funny as I remembered it, though. I also got "Eldest" by Christopher Paolini on audiobook, but haven't started listening to it yet. I'm in the middle of another audiobook right now: "A Knight of the Word" by Terry Brooks, and will hopefully finish it here in a few days.
In looking through the Hickory Farms 2005 holiday gift catalog, someone would have to be silly to pay $125 for ~5 lbs of meat and cheese (in "The Diplomat"), when you get the same amount for $60 (in "The Gold Miner") if you can live without the goofy crackers and nuts. (They're certainly not worth doubling the price.)
We ate some grub from Panda Express and McDonald's whilst at the mall. We also tried the new Cranberry Mustard and melt-aways at Hickory Farms. Mmmmm. The kids got a balloon butterfly and balloon hat at the mall.
I scored Brad a sack of potatoes (different from the last time), which he can pick up at my folks' place once again. =)
We happily did the house inspection and the "almost final" walkthrough on our new home on Monday. It's amazing that a thorough inspector can find some things wrong even on a brand-new house. (They're going to fix them.)
I've been running the Boinc distributed computing client with it's associated projects for the past couple of weeks - very cool. I like that you can manage all the projects in one place. I'm currently contributing on Seti@home, Rosetta@home, Einstein@home, Climateprediction.net, and Predictor@home. Climateprediction.net is a killer because each workunit takes around 1153.5 hours to complete (that's 48 straight days). The others usually only take between 2 and 8 hours, so it's easier to see progress on those. Since I've got a dual-core CPU, however, I can run two workunits at once, so I run Climateprediction.net on one almost continuously, and cycle through the others in a random order. They give you a "due date" for each workunit, and for the quick ones, it's just a few weeks, whilst the Climateprediction one is a year out. Of course, I'm aiming to finish mine in the 48-50 days timeframe, but I can see why it might take up to a full year if you only run it as a screensaver.

I've heard lots of new music (to me, anyway) recently at work, including:
Chance
O.A.R. ("Crazy Game of Poker")
Morningwood
Scissor Sisters
Has anyone else noticed that Firefox 1.0.7 and 1.5 RC3 both suffer from the "I can't type in the address bar sometimes" bug, as well as the "find on this page even when I don't want to" bug? 1.5 RC3 is better (doesn't happen as much), but both exhibit these odd behaviors. I'm actually wondering if it isn't the theme's fault, since they both share the "Noia 2.0 eXtreme" theme.
To resolve the first bug, you have to minimize Firefox, click on the desktop, then restore Firefox, and then it should let you type again in the address bar. If it still doesn't, open a new tab, click in it somewhere, then switch back to the previous tab, then it should let you type again in the address bar.
To resolve the second bug, unfortunately, you may have to close and reopen the tab, and in extreme cases, Firefox entirely. This one is the killer. (What happens is this: you have the find toolbar open at the bottom of the screen from a previous search, and you go to type something in the address bar, or the google search bar, or in a form field on a page, etc., but Firefox thinks you're wanting to find what you're typing on the current page. Even after closing the find toolbar (either by hitting escape [which doesn't always work], or by pressing the little X, the unwanted behavior continues.)
I hope Firefox gets their act together and fixes these two bugs - they're aggravating! I tried an orange Tic Tac Silver yesterday. Beautifully wrapped.

So I installed the new Juice podcatching client, but I also noticed something hilarious on their download page:
Windows 200, huh? Must've missed that one. =)
Also hilarious: it turns out that a piece of scotch tape will defeat Sony's DRM. Nice.

Lots has been going on, where to start? Windows Live keeps telling me to log in even though I'm already logged in. Lame.
Speaking of LAME, Sony BMG apparently broke the law in their recent Digital Rights Management (DRM) rootkit coverup fiasco because they used the open source LAME MP3 decoder without following the terms of the GPL license - doh! Also, not only does the removal uninstaller tool Sony hurriedly released actually opens up another security hole, but their backdoor also affects Macs, not just PCs. They have finally recalled 4.7 million affected CDs. Businesses are advised, however, to scan their networks for Sony malware. Luckily, Microsoft will detect the rootkit and remove it, but I can't say the same for Apple. Sony, at least, is finally sucking it up and offering to exchange affected CDs for clean ones. Finally! Affected CDs include albums by Celine Dion and Neil Diamond, among others.
Speaking of Macs, Apple's iTunes has a new security hole, in addition to the recent Quicktime flaw from a few weeks ago. The iTunes flaw affects Mac OS 10 users, not just PCs. The real shaft, though, is that it was discovered just two days after their recent security patch was released (which, of course, didn't patch it). They'll have to release another patch next week. They're turning into Firefox, which is turning into Microsoft! I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
We found the "Decoy" cache today. A new twist! I tried out Frappr, which is making news in the podcasting world on such shows as Cnet's Buzz Outloud and Adam Curry's Daily Source Code. Interesting (a cross between Flickr and Google Maps).
I've been enjoying some wonderful new music lately, sweet tracks all:
"There She Goes" and "Summertime" by Brother Love
"Fly, Fly, Fly" by Adrina Thorpe
"Rocket Science" by Brain Buckit
"Bad Religion" by Jimmie Bratcher
"Photograph" by Nickelback
"Get Through This" by Art of Dying
"Waking Up The Neighborhood" by Planet of Women
"Upside Down" by Bob Gentry
"In A Long Time" by 46bliss
"Wasting My Time" and "Drive Away" by Mathew Ebel
...as well as some wonderful tracks by the Candy Butchers and Mike Viola (his solo stuff).
Shopping for Home Owner's Insurance is like pulling teeth. Enough said. We drove by our new house (we haven't closed yet, though) and there was a sign on the front lawn saying "Sale Pending". It was cool to know that it was referring to us!
For my recent birthday, I scored a new MP3 USB FM Modulator for the car. I simply plug in my USB thumb drive into it and it broadcasts the MP3s straight to the car radio - no iPod or cords needed! Works like a charm! I also scored "Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith" on widescreen DVD. Nice. =)
I was also surprised by being taken to view Harry Potter & The Goblet Of Fire at the theatre (Edwards Nampa Stadium 14). Down side: even though we got our tickets via Fandango, we still had to wait in line for tickets since the fandango kiosk was out of order. Lame - especially when the movie starts in 3 minutes, but the line is at least 4 minutes long!
My ISP, Qwest, is one giant, collective idiot it seems. They claim they don't block port 3389 (terminal services/remote assistance), and yet it doesn't work. They claim it's because my router is doing NAT (network address translation), despite the fact that I've done terminal services, remote desktop connection, and remote assistance many times before on different connections (i.e., from different ISPs such as SBC, Charter, and ATG), always from behind NAT routers and various firewalls. Their answer: "try port forwarding". Um, yeah - doesn't work. Qwest is the problem, and they won't fess up to it. It's interesting to note, however, that port 3389 services didn't work by default on these other lines - it took a phone call or two and some patient yelling to get them to unblock the ports. (Thus, the only thing left to do here with Qwest is to figure out who I've got to talk to who actually knows what I'm talking about.)
They also don't provide an outgoing SMTP mail server to customers, just an MSN mail account - what's with that? Whatever. I can't complain about the speed, though, it's 5 mbps down/896 kbps upload (and, yes, I'm actually getting those speeds). Not bad for DSL. Too bad the customer service sucks so bad. Am I the only one who thinks that Keira Knightly and Natalie Portman look like identical twins?
The new Google Sets beta site is interesting. Their newly-free Google Analytics also looks promising. Also, Google Print is now called Google Book Search.

Well, the inevitable has happened: Sony BMG has now been sued over their DRM copy protection blunder. Also, inevitably, a few malicious backdoor threats have already appeared over the past few days that exploit the Sony rootkit (Breplibot.b, and Breplibot.c/.d).
On the radio at work, we've heard a lot of Death Cab For Cutie ("Soul Meets Body") and Dave Matthews Band ("American Baby") lately. While I've always liked Dave Matthews, they overplay him here - bad. Every third or fourth song is DMB. Give 'em a rest, people.
We found three (3) caches on Saturday:
Big-Time Micro
Boise history series #5
Happy Days are here again
The Big-Time Micro cache was one we couldn't find this past summer on our vacation here. As it turns out, it was apparently muggled before we tried it, and was replaced at some point thereafter. No wonder we couldn't find it! Anyway, it was an easy find second time around.
We also ate at Boise's supposedly-famous Westside Drive In. Becky had the popcorn chicken, Misti had a wonderful BLT, and I tried the Cajun Burger. Mine was a little too drippy, but the other meals were great. The cool thing was that the drive-thru window was on the right-hand (passenger) side of the car.
In cool tech, gravity tractors may help save the planet from intrasteller bombardment. In bizarre tech, these two photos are from the inside of one of our old computers, I kid you not:
Now, I've heard of hard drives and floppy drives, but come on...
We scored two toy alligators at our neighbor's garage sale on Saturday for 50 cents. The funny part was that it was actually in the garage (inside). Hadn't really seen that before, despite the fact that that's why they're called 'garage sales', I suppose. It was fully contained within the garage, proper - nothing was on the driveway. Q.: Do the Japanese have garage sales?
Our 'podcast' tonight is an interview with Becky and some podsafe music from the Podsafe Music Network. Tune in here:
Show #: 19
Length: 19 minutes, 51 seconds
Bitrate: 128 Kbps
Size: 18.10 MB
Becca was in her very first Primary Program at church yesterday. She loved it - she sat all by herself (with her class, of course, but not with us) on the pulpit (front row), sang loudly and confidently, and recited her part at the microphone in front of the entire congregation without help. She got many compliments after the meeting. =)

In top news this morning, Brad and Emilie's baby page is now available - check it out!
A Linux-only virus (the "Lupper" worm) has appeared. I think we all saw this coming. In antispyware news, Microsoft has given an official name to it's antispyware beta product: Windows Defender.

We've been enjoying a couple of new shows on TV recently, including "Da Vinci's Inquest" and "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit" (SVU).
I recently shopped online for a new computer, and Brad'll be happy to know that I didn't go with Dell. Actually, it's kinda funny how it happened, because Dell's website simply didn't work, and actually prevented me from building a system:
I ended up getting 160 GB in RAID 1 mirrored drives, 2 GB of dual-channel DDR2-400 RAM, and a Pentium D 820 dual-core CPU (plus the normal extras), all for less than $1,400. Sweet!
It was recently brought to my attention that Shelby has a blog, too. Check it out. I wonder if Lisa, Jodi, and Brenda have secret blogs they've been hiding from us, too...?? Hmmmm.

I listened to some wonderful Matthew Ebel ("Drive Away") and Sunspot ("The Breach") on some newly found (to me) podcasts two days ago. Great stuff. The Intelligent Design trial is now over, but the verdict won't be out for another month or so.
I found some nice open source, cross-platform DVD playing software yesterday, named VLC Media Player from VideoLAN. Works great, and it's free!
The Sony rootkit disaster took another nasty turn yesterday when it was discovered that their "patch" actually can potentially crash your system, and also that the DRM software is actually spyware (communicating back to Sony's servers without your approval). Furthermore, it's actually now preventing CD sales and therefore hurting the artists.

I took a peek at the new Live.com site, just to see what all the fuss was about. Pretty cool. It's quite obvious now, however, that Start.com was a testing bed for Live.com, and that I've already been using some Live-like features for the past month or so. Live.com does look like it has some cool additional ideas, however.
Listened to some Korn ("Twisted Transistor") and Nickelback on the radio at work. Interesting.
The Google Print saga continues, as Google resumed scanning books yesterday, but then halted again today.
Sony is in deep doo-doo with the recent and audacious Sony rootkit fiasco. How embarrassing.

We watched "The Cost of Redemption" (2004; Ronnie Coleman) on DVD last night. While not the most professionally-made video, it's interesting how big Ronnie is and how much weight he can lift. Anyone who can squat 800 lbs. and leg press 2,200+ lbs. gets some respect from me!
Misti and the kids have been a little sick over the past fews days. Becky sounds like she's partially lost her voice (which sounds cute, though). Jared inexplicably broke out into hives yesterday and puked early this morning. Too much sugar? Bizarre.
The Wilsons came over last night for dinner and Jared's birthday, and Misti made a cute, green, dinosaur cake for the occasion. Jared scored a ton of new dinosaurs, so he's obviously been preoccupied since then. Here are a couple more photos:
Enjoy!
