I have to admit, I went to the computer this morning to download Firefox 3. Well, so much for that idea. Little did I realize that the actual release date is set for 1:00pm EST.
Strange time to pick a release but I imagine it is tied up in their record breaking attempt.
Does any care about the Guinness record? I certainly could care less, but I suppose I am just a grumpy old man. Just give me the new browser.

More on that pesky little web browser.
I got tired of going to the Columbus Library’s web page to check if they had a book I was looking for. So I thought I would write a search engine for Firefox’s search box. Writing the little scripts that provide this functionality is really straight forward. Unfortunately, the Columbus Library’s web site was a little harder to find a good method to hook into their catalog. I luckily did find a solution.
I also was having so much fun at the time that I wrote one for the Mansfield Richland County library. I thought this might be helpful for mom and dad living within walking distance of the Plymouth branch.
You can find all search engines at http://mycroft.mozdev.org

Note: The one with Glenn Welker as the author is built on the new catalog system, the aquabrowser.
