Has anyone downloaded Firefox 3 yet? I'm tempted but have so many add ons that I'm wary about them stopping working. Especially download them all and session saver, both of which I use a lot.

Taking a moment to be a proud parent. We got a letter from the school this morning that said Corey has been identified by his subject teachers as gifted and talented, which means he's in the top 5% of his year group. Add in his 100% attendance record and no lates and man, I'm so thrilled with him.

In the not so good news. Kayleigh got the sack today, and the whole situation is pissing me off because I firmly believe if she was ten years older, male and straight they wouldn't have done a thing. She's got three months to get out of the flat and they've said she can stay on as a barmaid, but after the crap they've pulled I'd tell them where they could stick their offer.

To end on something more fun. I was playing around with wordle and plugged in my last two tagged stories. I think my preferences are showing *g*

I love wordle. It's the best

[turps33.livejournal.com]

It's such fun to play with. I love things that let you mess like that :)

I've been using Firefox 3 for over a month now (I had the beta vesion) and most of the add ons have been updated. :D Now that it's officially released and no longer in beta, I suspect the add ons will start updating a lot faster.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

That's reassuring to know. What do you think of it? Is it that much different?

[msktrnanny.livejournal.com]

Go Corey!!

What is wordle?

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I was so happy for him!

Wordle's just one of those time wasters. You plug in text and it makes it into pretty graphics. I liked my popslash one personally, it looks like a fish :D

Yay for Corey!

And, anything that has CHRIS and LAMP written so largely across it is going to make me look twice (and also think, hmm, that green goes with my curtains...)

ETA: You should wordle the llamaporn...

[turps33.livejournal.com]

The Chris and Lamp made me laugh when it first showed up.

Llama porn! It's even sort of Llma!Chris going down on Justin shaped.

Corey is awesome :-) And also, so is the school, for taking the time and trouble to identify the gifted pupils.

Maybe your sis should look into taking her employers to an employment tribunal? If they haven't followed the proper procedure for sacking her, especially if they have proveably discriminated against her on grounds of sex, age or orientation, she's entitled to do that.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I'm very impressed with the school. It had a terrible reputation a while back, but since it turned into a sports college it's become much better. The communication is first rate and they're always adding new things. Like email communication as well as written.

I'm going to suggest that Kay takes some kind of action, because they've been really underhand for a while now. The only thing is she was sacked for a real mistake. She'd left the safe keys on the bar, walked up to her flat, remembered while she was doing so, came back down and got them. But one of the committee men saw them unattended and that was that.

What gets me is a few weeks ago money was stolen from the safe. It was found out it was one of the committee men who'd taken it, but because he said he'd pay it back he's been allowed to stay on the committee.

Yay Corey! That's awesome.

I downloaded Firefox 3.0 yesterday, but was afraid to install it just like you were. I don't even have a lot of addons, but new versions of software is always an iffy process.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

It really is!

Yeah, I have the installation file sitting on my desktop and haven't dare run it yet. I have Firefox just how I like it, and while the new version sounds shiny, I'm still cautious.

[indicinderelly.livejournal.com]

*does a happy dance for Corey* That's awesome!


is there a link you can share for this time-waster wordle?

[turps33.livejournal.com]

It really is :D

If you click on one of the wordles it'll take you to the site where you can create your own. They're fun, if a little mindless *g*

Go Corey!
What I got from your wordle: Frank tops Mikey.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I'm very proud of him.

What I got from your wordle: Frank tops Mikey.

YES! A thousand times yes!

I installed FireFox 3.0 this morning. The only add on that doesn't work is the Skype Extension one, but since I don't use that so much I'm ok.

I have LJ addons, Google Toolbar, Ad blocker and Delicious Bookmarks - oh and Download Helper. I had to install an newer version of Delicious Bookmarks, but that's about it.

My fav theme (blue ice) is not compatible to 3.0 but lol I think I can live without it. ;-)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the reassurance.

I just installed and so far so good. What hasn't updated I can live without :)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_bettina_/]

First of all: Yay, go Corey! :-D

And I've downloaded and installed Firefox3 a few hours ago and so far it works fine. Most of my favorite addons (LJ addons, downloadhelper, down them all, Scrapbook, Greasemonkey, etc.) work, too, which is great. There was just a minor problem with my Tab Mix Plus addon, but I downloaded and installed the correct version again and it works :-).

[turps33.livejournal.com]

\o/

I was just brave and downloaded. I had to do some searching for tab mix plus and have lost my youtube downloader, but I'm hopeful that'll come back.

So, so far so good :)

[zillahseye.livejournal.com]

I dl'd Firefox 3 last night because I'd pledged, and I admit that the lack of add-on upgrades was making me moan. Dammit, BOTH themes I wanted were unavailable. *grin* Also, I'd like to figure out how to turn off a few options, but I'm sure I will.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I pledged too, then chickened out when I thought of my add ons *g*

But, I just installed and now I'm messing with options. So far all I've lost is my you tube downloader which sucks. But I'm sure there's others.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I was just talking about Firefox 3 to enigel and telling her that, even though I was tempted, I was going to wait till I decided to take the plunge, ie wait for others to do it before me so that I can listen to them either rave or rant about it and decide then whether I want to follow lol

Thing is, like you I have a number of add-on that I don't want to lose plus my favourite theme so, just in case, I'm waiting...

Hee, I'd almmost forgotten the important part omg! Congratulations to Corey, such great news. Though I'm so not surprised :-)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Hee! That's what I've been doing all day, but some seemed to hate it, some liked. So I was torn. I've just installed it, and so far so good. I had to search for the right tab mix plus, and have lost my you tube downloader, but I think it'll update eventually. I hope so anyway.

He did so well. I was very proud!

[turloughishere.livejournal.com]

I'm so sceptical - I never install a new version of something until there's been at least one "fixit" version released. (And that of course gives any addons etc time to get updated too :-)

Go Corey!! And yay! what a great school he's attending, doing things like this!

That really, really sucks for your sister!

I've just finished the Black Parade AU and felt in need of something less heavy to read and the worldet made it look like this :-)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I'm too curious for my own good and everyone is talking about the new shiny firefox, so I caved *g*

But, so far so good.

I really like Corey's school. He's coming on so well there, though he's not impressed that from next term they're moving to an 8:30 start.

DUDE! That is so phallic. Wow.

[truekat.livejournal.com]

I tried Firefox once upon a time and just couldn't seem to get the hang of it. I'm doomed to follow IE forever, I fear! lol

Congratulations about Corey! That's absolutely outstanding! You have every right to be a proud parent! I wish him all the successes out there! How very exciting!

Love those creations! I'm sort of inclined to check out that site. Very cool, indeed!

And thank you for asking about me in one of your comments. I'm doing okay. Just had a moment that things seemed a bit out of control. I do appreciate you checking, though! *hugs*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I love Firefox so much! Having to use something else now would feel so wrong. Still, you use what works for you.

Thank you!

I'm glad you're doing okay. It's horrible when life goes out of control.*mwah*

[lassieoshea.livejournal.com]

That's so wonderful about Corey! You have every right to be proud of him. :)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thank you! He's doing so well, which helps when he gets in his teen stompy moods *g*

[tara]

God, Kayleigh's been having such a horrible run of it :(

[tara]

And, because I pressed post too soon, that's wonderful news about Corey!

[solariana.livejournal.com]

YAY for Corey! He's becoming an awsome young man!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

He really is. Thank you!

[ephemera.livejournal.com]

God, poor Kayleigh - what a nightmare! She really should consult the CAB / find a lawyer who could tell her if she has a fightable case, because - she deserves better than how she's been treated.

And yay Corey! That's excellent news, both that he's doing so well, and that the school's picked up on it and will be doing stuff to help stretch him and keep him engaged.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

So many people have told her to go the legal route, but she won't. She has an unwavering loyalty to the place, despite the fact they sacked her, installed someone else in her position before even telling her, then offered her a part time barmaids job instead.

Corey's doing so well. The school has been so good for him.

[saba1789.livejournal.com]

Hee, go Corey!


I'm sorry about your sister though. I hope she'll find something way more awesome soon.

[frausorge]

Congratulations to Corey, and to the excellent mother raising him!

Sorry to hear about your sister's woes though. :(

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

I hope things are going fine for you too. You're a miss.
