Installed IntenseDebate

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

I installed IntenseDebate as the new commenting system. The reason being that it makes it a bit easier to read comments with its threading features.

Plus it just works without me having to go and change a bunch of stuff.

Some Updates

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

Alright, so here’s what I’ve been doing:

  1. I’m planning on uploading 3.2.7 tomorrow. Most locales are complete, and those that aren’t, well then you get to have English strings as well until they are finished.
  2. Some of you were worried that the left click improvements will apply all the time. It does not. The new filter is only for the Open Left Click Links in a New Tab setting.
  3. I haven’t checked the bug tracker in awhile.
  4. Stop filing support requests into the bug tracker.
  5. If you recently sent me a support email, I probably haven’t gotten around to answering it.
  6. I got myself too many games during the Steam sale. Most of them were because I was interested in the game mechanics (helps out with school work on Game Design [I go to a video game college, mind you]). Others were ones I wanted to pick up because I wanted them for awhile. Then the rest were because the game was really cheap (like under $3 dollars).
  7. I’ve been playing Mass Effect. I beat it almost 100% complete in about 24 hours. I went on to finish almost all (except for a few scavenger ones) sidequests in about 11 hours.
  8. t-rane updated his Office 2007 Black theme to support ThunderBrowse. Very cool. I haven’t gotten to use it yet, but it looks really nice.
  9. I’ve updated all urlbar images used in ThunderBrowse to display the image via CSS. This means if you are a theme designer, you can now change the images for the urlbar easily.
  10. I think you guys will love the new update.

Yes, I did have a good Christmas, and I really appreciate the nice people that donated to me near the end of last month. If you were one of those people, I sincerely thank you for doing so. Props to you.

uuuuugh

This blog post isn’t so much about ThunderBrowse as it is about me. But first, let’s get a few things out of the way.

  1. We now have a license to Postbox. This will make it easier to keep track of Postbox updates and remain compatibility.
  2. Some new donations have come in. If you donated recently, thank you very much. I’m sorry I haven’t had the time to write back to all of you (as I normally do).
  3. Tabs build is a bit halted right now. I’m not sure if I want to release it as 3.2.7 because of the number of hacks involved. I’m thinking of getting it reviewed by someone at Mozilla and see what they think.
  4. I’ve yet to make the thank you page to the Summer of Funding donors. I’ll get to it. There is a reason behind this.

It kinda sounds like I’m slacking here, but I want to let you know that I’ve been sick for most of the month with the flu. Now I have “Super Flu” (or the Swine Flu). Let me tell you, this flu is a pain in the neck. Literally.

This is why ThunderBrowse hasn’t had any updates for awhile. Sorry. Hope that I get better soon.

ThunderBrowse Tutorial Vid #2

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

I made another tutorial video today. Apologies if it sounds bad, I’m sick and couldn’t record with my normal voice.

This video covers the startpage and how to change it. If you uninstalled ThunderBrowse and still see the ThunderBrowse start page, then you should be watching this video (because this was covered several years ago in the FAQ).

Anyways, here’s the video:

ThunderBrowse Tutorial Vid #1

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

Today I made a tutorial vid on how to use ThunderBrowse. Oddly, the screen brightness is extreme on the YT video but not on my rendered clip. I’m not sure what that is about.

This tutorial video shows you how to use ThunderBrowse fullscreen:

I’m not sure if I want to really continue the video tutorials but if people are finding them useful, I will probably put up 3 or 4 more tutorials.
