the corner office

I'm in a mad rush to get some assignments done before I bugger off on holiday. Quick breather in the interests of security, though:

Mozilla Firefox 0.9.3 and Mozilla Thunderbird 0.7.3 are out. I wish I could remember which blog I read it on this morning, but apparently they fix new security holes. The Mozilla developers are getting a reputation for responding pretty quickly to security issues, which I find quite comforting.

If you're still living in bug-ridden, spyware-addled, tabless, pop-up hell with Internet Explorer, then perhaps this is a good time for you to go and give Firefox a try.

As a slight aside, if you were wondering what a Firefox is, I learned today, thanks to the Firefox Brand Name FAQ, that Firefox is another name for the Red Panda. What a cute little critter!
