Toggl - online timetracker
Friday, May 23, 2008
Well, along with Flickr going downhill, another very useful web application, Toggl, is trying to shoot itself in the foot, too.

Flickr Slideshow Now Sucks
Sunday, May 20, 2007
I have never, ever had anything negative to say about Flickr. I'm sorry, however, because now I do. Their old slideshow rocked. This new one, well, sucks. I liked the colors, I liked the white background, I even liked the purple (pink?) and blue balls spinning around eachother as a way of letting you know things were happening. Am I the only one who thinks things have spun around backwards? This feels too Yahoo-ish...
And, who wants to know that this photo (to the left) is named wv020? I say bring back the slider for speed, bring back the choices, and why fix something that isn't broken?--Eric Mills likes his slideshows customizable, which is why he dropped photobucket in the first place. He is also always on the lookout for good sites gone wrong.

Foxing It Up
Wednesday, May 16, 2007
We here at Mills Bros headquarters have extolled the virtues of Firefox before. Over at /dev/null, however, they have the ultimate lineup of browsers, and still Firefox comes out at number one. Check out the list:
I’ve been using Firefox since the very early days. If I don’t remember wrong I moved over to Firefox from Opera when the version number still was around 0.6. It rocked at that time, even though a few crashes and strange behaviours had to be accepted. I guess it didn’t help that I nearly daily downloaded a new nightly build from their FTP site, ensuring I always knew what new stuff which would pop up in the new releases. I’ve been using Epiphany, Konqueror, Safari, Opera‘, Internet Explorer, Camino, Flock, Omniweb, Mozilla (now rebreanded to SeaMonkey), Netscape, Dillo, Mosaic, Amaya, Galeon, ICEBrowser, Arena, and Chimera (plus text-based Links, Lynx and w3m) in addition to Firefox, but no other web browser have given me such a capability of customizing my own web-browsing experience, thus also making it personal and tailored for my needs and preferences.
