Firefox 1.0 Released
Yerah, finally! Firefox has been released. So far, it’s ok, but I had some problems with the NetFlix.com web site. Update: Firefox has a feature that lets you only see images that are coming from the web site you are visiting. I allowed images from “cdn.nflximg.com” and NetFlix.com is fine.

Another Hack Attack
Someone else has tried to hack my web site. They were at 62.150.201.14 which resolves to somewhere in Kuwait.
