Firefox 3 Released

June 18th, 2008 | View Comments

As of 17th of June, 2008, Firefox 3 is now available on mozilla.com. I just installed it a couple of hours ago, and so far, I have a very good impression about this new version. It seems to be pretty fast. The only thing I hate with upgrading is that you will always have to wait until all your beloved addons will be updated and working again. Some can already be tweaked a little and will then work with FF3 – unfortunately, some won’t… I guess I will have to wait a little longer. At least, an upgrade is always a chance to get rid of old addons that you hardly ever used. … Read entire article »

Now, I wondered how one could figure out if there was a MySQL error while executing a query – be it a typo in the actual query, an error while establishing a connection to the database or a missing table. … Read entire article »

ActiveSync Troubleshooting

May 24th, 2008 | View Comments

Today, I seemed to have disconnected my PocketPC too early. After this, I couldn’t get it to sync with Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 on my XP SP3 installation any longer: it said that the USB device could not be recognized. If this happens to you, try the following: deinstall ActiveSync, restart your PC, reinstall ActiveSync, restart your PC again (important!), reconnect the PocketPC. It should work fine again now. The first time, I forgot to restart the PC after reinstalling ActiveSync – which ended up with the same USB device failure, so be sure to restart your PC before reconnecting your device. … Read entire article »

How To Rearrange The Tabs Order In iGoogle

May 21st, 2008 | View Comments

I have always been wondering how I could change the order of my iGoogle tabs – before, I was manually doing this by creating a new tab, copying the content of the desired tab to the new one and then deleting the old tab until I finally had the order I wanted: Google provided no other way. Well, it is easy now: click the title of the tab, then the down arrow, select “edit this tab” – and you can then rearrange the order… nice. … Read entire article »
