I found this sweet Firefox Extension: FireFTP that works like a frickin charm. This extension may in fact get me to back into using Linux more because now that I have a nice alternative to use in Xubuntu aside from gFTP. (I haven’t been using Linux as much lately due to my dislike of gFTP.) The thing that makes this a truly awesome is the fact that’s is cross-platform. People always said that the browser is the killer app and that dream is being realized via Firefox.

FireBug is a very handy Firefox extension for debugging Javascript applications which lets you step through code one line at a time. And it is especially useful for debugging Ajax applications and lets you really see what is in the HTTP Request Packet and where things may have gone wrong.

For about 5 seconds I was excited about The Ajax Experience Conference, not because it’s about Ajax but because it’s in Boston, until I saw the price to attend.
$1,250 If you pre-register before Sept 26.
$1,450 After that.
$1,250!! $1,450!!
For a conference!?
It’s not like this is TechED or the Hooters Waitress convention. It’s just Ajax.
This is obvisouly an attempt to extort just a bit more money before this over-hyped technology implodes.
What a rip-off: $1,450.

So I went to login to ********* and I accidentaly hit enter after I typed in my username and got this lovely error:
[inspic=3,,fullscreen,thumb]
To the untrained eye this is just an unfriendly error but to a hacker and I mean all those script kiddies and what not this is a glimpse at a potential targets data base schema.

Like anything else once a good idea gets out into the public people will fall over themselves trying to mimic what’s already been done. Remember back in the 80’s when video shops were poping up on every street corner. And remember how the shelves were jammed with bad (cheesey) apocalypse movies. Well that’s what this new internet boom is looking like. You’ve got your A list of reddit,Technorati, FeedBurner, Flickr and del.ico.us to name a few and then you’ve got the B list with Blogmarks, Pixel Groovy, itsdEx and Pooln just to name a few more Web2.0-ers. I’m not saying that the B list is sub-par, it’s just that they seemed to come on the scene after the start and maybe just before the peak.

If your a child of the 80’s Speed Metal era of dark, fast songs that invoke of images of destruction, war and anager but now you’re in your early 30’s, you’ve got kids, a wife and a good job; the new Slayer album Christ Illusion is probaly the last album you were planning on buying. Until now.
Listening Christ Illusion makes me feel like I’m 17 again when the world could FOAD. It’s the lost album in between South of Heaven and Seasons in the Abyss which I think were their best ever. I went off to college when Decade of Aggression came out and the whole metal thing was becoming lame. Nirvana, Alice in Chains and even Dave Matthews Band were my new thing. But this new album kicks my a$$. Tight, Angry, Fast and Loud. Not bad for a band that can be by time-standars considered Classic Rock!! But Classic Rock my a$$ these guys emit an aura of forocity that could bring down the apolypcs on the junk that’s on the radio.

At some point durring the day I derailed my thought process and ended up on amazon looking for books on Atom - (dev site: Atom or Wikipedia: Atom).
Essentially Atom is the next version of RSS and I’m just trying to see what’s ahead in technology.
