Spy Journal 3.0 Filtering the web for you

Maybe one day I will write on here some personal stuff, I mean really personal reality, not just the sanitised for the public version of my reality. My Spy Journal was started as a view inside me, but lately I have covered up who I am with the stuff I write about, work, web technology, Microsoft etc. Maybe one day soon there might be some more about who I am, what drives me, what makes me tick, my version of life?

What do you reckon? Do you care? Do I care even if you don't? Do I know what I think you mean but don't know you mean it? was that confusing - did it even make sense? Does life? Is this too cryptic? All of the above? Hmm lets see. Maybe...

Hooray! Drupal 6 has been released. Digg is going crazy and the drupal.org  site seems to be under some pressure! However I was able to download it easily. Now to install in a test server and start playing testing.

Dries Buytaert linked to where Greg Knaddison has prepared a screencast displaying the new features. If you can't be bothered watching that then check out my short list below.

Some of the new features include:

Firefox has several security settings you can use to keep your computer safe. There are also hundreds of extensions that you can add to give you further privacy & security. Lisa Hoover has written a great article on a few of these extensions. For example a good way to protect your computer is to prevent the browser from using JavaScript at Web sites without permission, the NoScript extension makes every site that uses JavaScript ask your permission before running it. It can render some JavaScript-heavy sites unreadable but provides a whitelist of acceptable sites that you can add to speed up your surfing experience.

At Jethro the extensions we always install on any new pc are, Plain old favourites, Session Manager, Tab Browser Preferences and Delicious.
