Bullet points galore! I also have this god awful obsession for using the word “Ensure” start a sentence:

“Ensure you check this” and “Ensure you click that” or “Ensure that other thing loads” etc, etc.

Okay…so I thought of a few things already but on second thought; immediately dismissed as being too nasty. To wit:

> Change “index.php” to “index.html” and stick in a meta redirect to the “Webkinz Pets” site.

> Change just one digit in his Akismet “key” to something else…mua-ha-ha-ha!

> Add a line into his “.htaccess” file that specifies only users with my IP address or your IP address can log in. (see evil laugh above).

But I figured all the above were just drastic. How about Digg-ing and Stumbling several posts and when his site grinds to a halt from the massive traffic spike you can rescue his rear end by installing “WP Super Cache”.

Do we need to do this by email on the off chance he might actually read this?

Of course, I’m all sensitive and crap, even about my favorite techy things. HAHA.

My biggest failing is ALSO being too damn wordy! OMG! We must be best friends!! I’ve written a very small number of manuals myself, so I totally understand the almost impulsive need to use bullet points to explain negligible things to friends of mine who happen to express curiosity about something.

Unless that doesn’t happen to you. In which case, let’s talk about our nefarious plot.

Welcome to my end of town.

Beta 5 still had a ton of bugs in it and the XPCOM memory recycler wasn’t fully implemented yet. Neither was the “Places” (Organize Bookmarks/Library) SQLite database features. There were problems with Java script and Flash etc.

I’ve been running the (trunk) nightly builds (Minefield) since the late Alpha’s and as of yesterday the last bugs blocking RC1 were squashed. I’d expect RC1 to be released late next week by the look of the “Release and Tracking Schedule”. And yes, the latest trunk builds have been very well behaved as far as memory use and reclamation is concerned, a far cry from beta 5. I’m lovin’ it.

More than you needed to know? That’s my biggest failing–too damn wordy. Comes from writing too many operational procedures.

I like your Gravatar image BTW.

Have you found that the beta 5 release gets the same memory bleed that FF2 was getting? I’m having to force-quit a whole heck of a lot more than I like lately.

Now that I’ve found your blog, I can stalk you as well as Sixty. Heh.
