New Phrase
I'm introducing a new phrase. The Magic of RDF™. You may hear me saying it more often now to succintly describe an implementation method that utilizes RDF's graph model to advantage.

Quicktime, Acrobat Annoyances?
Ever annoyed by how clicking on a link to a .mov or a .pdf file causes it to load in-place in the full-page plugin instead of downloading to disk and then viewing in standalone Quicktime or Acrobat? Then I have something for you. I've made it so Firebird will let you deactivate plugins for various file types. This does not interfere with <object> tags so sites like the Apple Trailers site and others that integrate plugins into the site GUI are not disrupted.
Coming to a Firebird nightly and 0.7 soon.

Mozilla Firebird 0.7 Heats Up
Feature development for Mozilla Firebird 0.7 is heating up. Today dave began working on a new Web Panels implementation that's results in:
This system allows you to have a bookmark on your personal toolbar that reads "Post to MT Blog" that loads the post form in a sidebar, among other things. Full details here (slightly out of date).
I think this is a great new feature, and will go some distance towards reinforcing Firebird's position as "Blogging's Killer App."
In other news, I'm testing some download system changes and bryner is testing some new password manager enhancements.
