For those of you in the U.S., I hope you're having a pleasant Thanksgiving. For everyone else, best wishes for an enjoyable weekend.
I guess this is the sixth year I've cooked the same turkey recipe. I may post pictures of the bird later tonight. Deanna brined it for the last day and a half and I've been tending to it in the smoker for the last eight hours. We're about an hour from dinner and tomorrow morning we're off to the wine country for a long weekend.
The sfx download counter probably won't be updated until I get back on Monday and I probably won't be posting at the blog till then, either.
Wow. I've been reading your blog for a year now. I remember your turkey from last year. I hope all goes well this Thanksgiving! :)
Aww- isn't there anyway to automate the download numbers? You can develop the most awesome browser in the world but to show how many people download it is too much?!?! Haha, just kidding. Have a nice weekend!
As of dinner-time, Thu night, 2004-11-25, we have 6.4 million Firefox downloads. Sweet. Good comparison with the next update probably some time on Monday.
Go Go Firefox!
We have a lot to be thankful for.
Now here is my firefox story of the day.
I have been a fan of mozilla since the beginning. But to get my mom to switch? Unlike many heroic evangelizers I thought it was a hopeless endeavor. Let me live in my idealistic firefox world touting the virtues of open source goodness to those willing to accept this vision, tolerating every quirk, crash and roadblock along the long journey from source dump to finished product while mom can live in the corporate, mainstream, dependable and *boring* world of IE, right?
Well just today I checked mom's laptop (sorry mom!) and lo and behold there was Firefox 1.0 with her own set of bookmarks.
She found it on her own and is *using* it.
How did it possibly get there? Idealism and practicality have finally converged.
I know you've gotten this request a lot, but I would really like to see a graph of the daily & cumulative downloads for Firefox 1.0, similar to the ones you made for the Preview Release (see http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=node/view/5501 for example).
Keep it up! Go go firefox! :)
Regards,
Nikole
