It’s here.
The day is finally upon us.
Oh, and incidentally, BSG season 4 is doing well. It’s right up there with the second half of House’s season 4 which has also started airing.
Now I’m just awaiting Heroes and Prison Break to resume.
Beta Software
Posted by Pavan Chander | Filed under Review, Software
As you may or may not know, I am a huge supporter of Opera, for a number of reasons.
And as that’s the case, I like to stay bleeding edge with the beta builds, but unfortunately the latest build (9815) tends to be temperamental. When it gets into one of its moods, it will crash a few times until it stops sulking and starts working. Now for normal people this would drive them insane, but that’s because they don’t use Opera.
Even if Opera crashes constantly on me 4 or 5 times in a row, I know that I can always open it up and it will resume exactly where I left off. And hey, that’s the price one pays for being current.
Now this is all well and good, but this is when the real problem starts, a couple of days ago I decided that I was going to see what the hype on Firefox 3 was all about. Yes I do keep Firefox installed on my machine even though I use Opera as my browser. The only reason I use Firefox is for web development, although I personally am against Firefox, I respect my viewers choice and opinion (as short sighted as it may be :P ).
Up till now the best tool for web development has been Firebug, which is the unfortunate reason I need Firefox installed.
But back to the crashing, Firefox 3 is also in beta, and while not as temperamental as Opera, it has its own little quirks.
And here it goes…on occasion I have had to resort to opening..IE (gasp, shock, panic, anger) and pasting a messaged URI in the address bar.
Not a good position to be in.
Oh Opera, please release another build!
