			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Apparently <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/">Firefox</a> 1.5 is actually going to be available for download today! How utterly exciting. Almost as exciting is that BBC News have <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4479412.stm">an article</a> about it on their <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk">front page</a> (as of right now, obviously).</p>
<blockquote><p>The people behind Firefox are planning a big marketing push for the latest version of the open source web browser.</p>
<p>Firefox 1.5 is due to be available for download on 29 November, marking the end of a thriving year for the browser.</p>
<p>Analysts say Firefox has grabbed a 10% share of the browser market and it claims to have a core of 40-50 million dedicated users.</p>
<p>To serve its fans, Firefox maker Mozilla will update more regularly and take swift action on security lapses.</p></blockquote>
<p>I&#8217;ve been using 1.5RC3 since it came out and it seems pretty cool, nearly all my extensions have updated themselves to become compatible, although there are still issues with high memory usage (Use firefox heavily for over an hour, and it doesn&#8217;t hesitate to use up at least 100megs of my pagefile&#8230;) hopefully this will be fixed with 1.5 but I remain pessimistic personally.</p>
<p>UPDATE: Well it&#8217;s <a href="http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/11/29/1939206&#038;tid=154">finally out now</a> on the <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/mirrors.html">ftp mirrors</a>, though still no announcement on the Firefox website. It turns out <a href="http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=169676&#038;cid=14141773">1.5 is exactly the same as 1.5RC3</a> anyway though so&#8230;I&#8217;ve had this for like 2 weeks or something. So I guess they haven&#8217;t done anything about memory usage! Ho hum.

I have a feeling this site really needs bigging up. It&#8217;s a kind of satirical/humourous video games news/reviews site, but it&#8217;s so funny it makes me laugh at least every day! Definitely worth an old &#8220;RSS Subscription&#8221; in your current favourite reader.

<p>Dunno if you&#8217;ve seen this being hyped around the net recently but it has to be said: I can&#8217;t see how this thing won&#8217;t be huge. Basically its a service that seeks to integrate many web2.0 technologies to allow you to easily download tv programs. Doesn&#8217;t sound impressive but they&#8217;re bringing together AJAX, Bittorrent, RSS, and lots of social networking things in the vein of Friendster, Myspace, Last.fm. Sounds perfect to me, check it.</p>
<p>In other news I got a cheque from Google Adsense the other day for $30, which reminded me that my ads have been off the site since i switched Template about a month ago. OOPS! I went back to the old template cos it has my tag cloud and the ads there and the links aren&#8217;t as broken as other one.

<p>I came up with this amazingly profound statement a few minutes ago in an msn conversation, and decided I&#8217;d write about it on the internet (It&#8217;s a joke you see, Irony!).</p>
<p>I was inspired by <a href="http://www.mcsweeneys.net/2002/01/10deathstar.html">this astonishingly pointless article</a> about the Deathstar from Star Wars and how it could never really work (or something. Obviously I couldn&#8217;t be bothered to read it).</p>
<p>Silly.
