Brilliant. Here's a very clever way to get ie toolbar like functionality out of the location field in Mozilla. The result? Now if I type 'gg jimslog' into the location field in Mozilla (where I would normally type the URL) I'm taken to the results of a google search for 'jimslog'. If I type 'dd mantic' I'm taken to the results of a dictionary.com lookup of 'mantic'. The article shows you how to make keywords (the 'gg' and 'dd') for any site.

Julie pointed out the first Alias review
Looks like the end of internet radio.
Great day of work. I'm flying. My new feature is basically done over at the other site. I'm excited about this one. I'm going to write something up and point to it by tomorrow or the next day. Otherwise not much to report. Heading towards a beer....
Our most proficient bug hunter Tom pointed out that the ability for guests to leave comments was completely, well...., let's just say it wasn't working. And this must have been for quite some time. (Well, to clarify, if there were already comments in a thread you could add another, no problem, but if an anonymous commenter tried to add the first comment they would be thwarted.)
This is a big problem. I fixed it fairly easily, that's not the hard part, rather it's finding these things that is so difficult. I swear I tested that, but evidently I did not. It's hard to know when you've tried every single possibility in even a moderately complex system. Probably I tried to comment in threads that had already been started, and then just figured that it worked in every commenting case.
My apologies if anyone ever tried to leave a message here and was unable. I really would like it despite the previous broken nature of the tools. Looks like the new system (which I am currently testing on another site) might already be more stable than this one. Or maybe not. I really need to learn more about rigourous testing procedures. Or I need like 10 more of Tom.
