Thats right. When FireFox 3 goes live sometime in June they are hoping to declare a "download day" and set the record for most software downloads in 24 hours. You can check out their FireFox Download Day Headquarters where you can pledge your allegence to the rebel forces, I mean FF.

I have to say, I've been using FF3 since beta 2 and I think it is a huge improvment over FF2 and for the first time a huge improvement over IE7. I have to admit I couldn't get on the FireFox bandwagon until this release came out. Now I can't wait for it to go live so the rest of these small bugs can go away and more plugin developers update to the new version campatability.

This past weekend brough fantasic weather to the Summit Point Motorsports Park\r\nin West Virginia. The holiday weekend race was 4 days long with 2 days\r\nof track practice and 2 days of racing. Unfortunently for team EmpireGP\r\nwe showed up a bit too late for the absolutly jammed packed weekend and\r\nended up getting a less than ideal pit spot in the paddock. On the plus\r\nside though, our area was much more relaxed.

Testing on Saturday went well but resulted in some so-so lap\r\ntimes maxing out in the upper 1:21's. However the bike was performing\r\nwell and I wasn't feeling the need to destroy the machine before the\r\nweekend really kicked off. With a sold out event I was entered into 5\r\nraces: the GTU ,GTO, Unlimted GP (trophy dash), Middeweight GP and\r\nmiddleweight Superbike.

This past weekend I picked up a 5 week old Boxer puppy from a rescue (Ella). Her mom had stopped feeding the puppies, but she was already doing very well on her own anyway. We already have an almost 2 year old Lhasapoo (Buster) who up until the afternnon of the day when this video was shot, was being extremly snobish and doing his best to ignoring the new pup.

I'm not normally a guy to post pictures of my pets, or even take video... But last night I captured a couple really funny scenes on my pocket camera and thought this one was worth posting. Whats amazing is that the MIC on the camera was actualy on. These two will now play for 15-20 minutes like this all out and not make a SINGLE sound.... This is a welcome change from her hound-esque howl she can get going at night...

Having recently switched to using Firefox and having always\r\ncomplained about Microsoft's PIA move by making it so difficult to run\r\nmultiple version of IE at one, I was suprised to find that FireFox has\r\nthe same stupid issue. Fire fox uses the same default non segrated\r\nprofile path for every version.

The Fix (same idea for win and mac I believe):

Run c:\\{your Firefox path}\\firefox -profilemanager -no-remote

Create\r\na 2 new profiles, I called mine FireFox3Rc1 and Firefox2. Use\r\nalpha-numeric and stay away from spaces. Once you've created them go\r\nahead and exit.

Now you must modify the shortcuts for firefox, respectfully.

c:\\{FF2 Path}firefox.exe -P FireFox3 -no-remote
c:\\{FF3 Path}firefox.exe -P FireFox3RC1 -no-remote

Technically\r\nthere is no need to change profiles for both FF version. But I'm\r\nassuming I'll even have a 3rd version here of FF3 soon and I hate using\r\ndefault profile paths...

Due to server and software changes my blog paths were no longer the same and I stopped getting aggregated by Adobe Feed/MXNA. I ignored this aside from an email that didn't get me anywhere; until this afternoon. With the new feeds software the feeds list actualy worked and I found out what URL Adobe was looking for my feed at. A quick 301 error inside a cfif tag fixed my problems...

Unfortunetly the result was ALL of my posts showing up in Adobe feeds at the top all at once. For this I apologize, I had figuered it would go off my modified or posted date, not when it read it for the first time...
