So as many of you will be aware I’ve been suffering from Firefox problems, these problems persisted without resolution, various updates were released which didn’t correct the problem. I was suffering from complete lockups of the browser with ... [More] complimentary slow cursor and frozen computer, X crashes, typing lag and various other quirks. As far as [...] [Less]

Unfortunately I’m unable to comment directly on Andrew Cowie’s post. But it’s nice to see the railway station from my home town. The station shown was designed by John Dobson (a famous northern architect) and constructed by Robert Stephenson (that’s the bloke who invented the train). Now for all this set of tracks may look [...]

But when it makes my computer grind to a halt and the hard disk go nuts in a way only recoverable by powering it off. It really messes up my day. The latest ubuntu firefox release makes this web browser completely unusable, breaking after about 30 mins of continuous use. Mostly on facebook, is this [...]

A fix can be found here.

There has been a couple of Solaris related bugs on the trac since I joined Wine-Doors, so I’ve played around with Solaris quite a bit.
