David and Katherine Goodwin

I've tried out Firefox 3 again (it's now in beta4), mostly prompted by this article (and linked to blog posting by a FF dev.). The even better news is that Firebug 1.1 works with FF3, which means I can make the switch at work.

I like the UI changes; password storing etc is better (one less popup window) and it certainly seems quicker on my computer (is FF3 honouring expires headers when FF2 didn't?)... so it seems to be all good.

On a totally unrelated note; I needed to get a phone line fitted for work the other day. I thought I'd do it all online - as "this must be quicker as it's probably all automated anyway". Is it hell. Stupid BT took 2 days to acknowledge the order, then wanted some stupid credit check (I'm a bit puzzled why) and now say I'll have to wait until the 17th for the line to be fitted. The engineer won't need to do any wiring - just turn up and "activate" a socket that already exists. Conversely, when I reported a fault on my home phone line, and engineer was round at my house on the same day and had fixed it within 20 minutes.

Rowan's fine, we'll probably have a video of him jiggling around online soon as Kat bought a tiny video camera thing the other day.
