I have moved my blog to WordPress

Yeah, I know that it's almost the same, but I feel this one will be the definitive home for my blog:

Alex Herrero at WordPress.

So, this blogger will not be updated anymore. Feel free to join me there!

PC-Soft: Firefox IS the Web Browser - I apologize

As a long time Firefox user, and a frequent Asa Dotzler's blog reader, on November 2, 2005, I left a comment on Asa's blog, regarding the new update available:

"I had the same problem as previously stated: failed partial patch and the About box saying I had 1.5 beta2, plus the "menu_HelpPopup_reportertoolmenu" bug.

All of this solved by manually downloading and installing with the provided link.

Now it's working ok. All extensions working (many of them manually patched for this release).

It seems Automatic Update needs more "tweaking" than expected...

Keep with the great work!

I don't know exactly who, but someone took my phrase out of context, and somehow, many online news:

Yahoo
InternetWeek
MacNewsWorld
LinuxInsider
Another One

and many others, stated it as a negative comment on Firefox, something I would never do. Maybe it has many things to improve, but as I'm not having enough time to cooperate with the development team, I have nothing to do but congratulate the entire team responsible for that piece of great software.

At least, I did state my frustration in this other comment:

"Well, the Automatic Update is working perfect now.

So every news site that published my comment some days ago can change that... It's really annoying that they publish only my "negative" sentence...

Guys, keep the good work as always!

You have a "first line" fan here!

Mainly: Firefox IS the web browser. Having one installed by default on a OS do not count. If all users could be asked which one they prefer, I'd bet they'd choose Firefox.

Gadgets: This will be my next phone

I know this is only a concept but should be the future of mobile phones:

By Tamer Nakisci, about the Nokia 888:

"*technologies that are used
It uses liquid battery, speech recognition, flexible touch screen, touch sensitive body cover which lets it understand and adjust to the environment. It has a simple programmable body mechanism so that it changes forms in different situations."

PC-Soft: The next web browser

Firefox is getting to its 1.5 version, and now more than ever, everybody that still use other soft, should give it a try...

MyBlog: No Time

Well, it's definitely hard to get time in these days. It seems that I'll be needing a 36 hours a day if I want to keep my site, weblog and photolog updated!
At least, I have enought data and photos to get the job done. So, for now, good night, web...

MyBlog: First Post

Well, this is the first post, so I won't be long.

This site should be for posting geek news, ideas, and many other various subjects.

It is mainly for me, but of course, other people are welcome.

Enjoy your visit!
