Testing, Testing
After reading what Jem had to say about the Firefox 3.0 release I made sure to download it and check it out.
Some things I like, some things I don’t like. Some things I will have to get used to. Same as with everything else, really.
I’ve lost a few of my addons, sadly. But I have gained a few more. Like this one, Deepest Sender, which should (if it works) allow me to post to Wordpress and LJ and Blogger and all that without actually logging in. Which is kinda cool.
Let’s hit “send”!
Oh, Discoveries!
No matter how well I think I know the internet, there’s always something new that will surprise me. I thought I knew the cool places, and I knew the places from where, for the love of all that is holy and the last remaining traces of my innocence, I am to stay away. I knew what was good for fansites, for roleplaying, for news, for gossip… but I didn’t know about this. Until now.
What have I discovered? The Internet Archive.
The Internet Archive is building a digital library of Internet sites and other cultural artifacts in digital form. Like a paper library, we provide free access to researchers, historians, scholars, and the general public.
And through Archive.org, I have discovered Librivox.org, a site that offers free, volunteer-read audiobooks. So far on my list of things I want to download are: Grimms’ Fairy Tales and Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey. I have only just started to scratch the surface, so I will probably make some more discoveries before too long.
Have a look and let me know what you find!
