TabmixPlus and Firefox 3.01

I don’t know about you, but my favorite firefox plugin for the ages has been TabMixPlus. Recently(past 24 hours) firefox released a new update, and upon loading it said that the TabmixPlus addon will no longer work with Firefox 3.01.

I quickly went to google to find me a solution. I found the solution over at the plugin’s forum, however I thought I’d repost it here to make it easy for you to fix it.

There’s actually two ways you can fix it. First off you can just install my updated program - if you trust me, I’m in no way affiliated with the plug-in makers, and I make absolutely no claims here, but it worked for me, or you can follow my steps to modify the plugin yourself.

To download my updated version click here.

And here are the steps for doing it yourself. Please note you will need winrar to perform this upgrade.

Download the original plugin - save it to your desktop.
Right Click on the file. Choose open with if available, or just ‘open’, and open it with WinRar.
Drag the ‘install.rdf’ to the desktop, right click on it, and choose open with notepad, textpad, or any text editor that you prefer.
Next you’re going to want to find the line that says: em:maxVersion=”3.0″
Change the 3.0 to a higher number, 4.0 will work until firefox 4.0 comes out, or you could just change it to 3.01 if you prefer.
Save the ‘install.rdf’ file. Drag it back into the winrar window overwriting the existing file.
Close the winrar window. Drag the xpi file into the firefox window, install it and enjoy!

Please leave a comment if this helped, if it didn’t help - also let me know and I will try to find another fix for ya.

they buy geeky wedding rings.. This is just too good.. Seriously, what will they think of next?

Etsy has started selling a Cat5 style his / hers wedding band set for geeky couples. My wife would kill me if I bought her one, she knows I’m a geek, and she’s pretty geeky herself - but in total denial.

I could also see making some sort of necklace like this, as well.

Watch out though -they retail for $175!

When Geeks Fall in Love - they Do Geeky Things!

I heard this story on the radio today, and thought it was quite funny.

Some guy named Bernie Peng, spent an entire month reprogramming his girlfriend’s favorite game (Bejewelled). When she reached a certain point level it showed a special wedding proposal screen and a ring.

Awestruck at what he’d done she of course said yes.

Popcap the makers of the game were impressed by this love story and as a wedding present flew the lovebirds to Seattle, for their honeymoon, where I’m betting there was quite a bit of Dungeons and Dragons to be had.

Not only that Popcap also gave away 250 free games to those at the Wedding Reception, pretty nice huh?!

Love Stinks! Yeah Yeah! Love Stinks! (So does, the Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Aol Love Triangle)…

Apr 10, 2008 in Computers, Google, Internet, Technology, Yahoo

Apparently the four biggest internet companies are at it again, everyone would love to be google, of course google would love to acquire everyone else.

Microsoft wants yahoo to be their love child, but Yahoo is like, I dunno Aol is kinda cute, and I might be crushin’ on google too.. I think we could make cute babies.

Here’s a short overview from Mashable:

Hereâ€™s a very short recap of the internet love rectangle story so far. Microsoft bids for Yahoo; Yahoo wants more money; Google doesnâ€™t want the deal to happen; Microsoft reiterates their bid; Yahoo still wants more money; Yahoo considers closing an advertising deal with Google; AOL and Yahoo consider merging.

While the community at large is thinking what does Yahoo see in Aol, and for that matter why does Microsoft want Yahoo? It’s all one big convoluted love triangle.

The winner though in this menage tois, in my opinion is probably Google, they’re not in “love” with anyone, and stand less likely a chance of getting their heart broken.

The problem one blogger noted was that everyone wants to be google, but they are trying to do it using big business practices, when Google is google, because they are different, they do things differently and that’s how they came to be where they are. Until the old business mindset is lifted, none of the other internet giants will be able to rise to the level of Google. Plain and Simple.
