Well I am still using Opera as my primary browser. It is just notably faster that Firefox (that is due for an update this soon). There are a few things which may take me back to Firefox though, the first is the was Opera handles RSS. To view a feed in Opera its opens up a new tab and lists them all, like how you read would read an email in outlook. I kinda got used to the drop down, ‘title’ only feature of Firefox, great for checking things regularly. Plus with opera being ranked 3rd in popularity, some websites can mess up a little bit (digg.com in particular). I also kinda miss some of my firefox plugins, like adblock and the Athens Toolbar (for higher education services) but hey, for day to day browsing Opera is faster.
What else, well iTunes has updated to version 5.0 with a nice new interface. It’s a little more stable and less buggy in the windows version at least. It’s also interesting how you can search for just video located on your hard drive. It can’t be long now before iTunes Music Store sells video, surely.
Speaking of music things, I was thinking of making a podcast but not having me saying a word on it because I sound like a 13 year old and I lack studio/equipment and anything of worth to waffle on about (the major short comings of many many many podcasts). But anyhow, I wouldn’t mind going to local pubs and recording those 1 pint a song nights or even some of the local bands that do the rounds. These people are normally shite, but for a small pub having a podcast searchable in iTunes would be something pretty cool and may even encourage custom. Just a thought anyhow, feel free to copy and use it, but if you do remember to get anybody on it to sign a Creative Commons Licence or something.
And still no BBC iMP invite *grumbles and gives up hope*.
