I’ve been using this mighty handy Multiple IE and highly recommend it for installing and running various IE versions concurrently.

Ever since I first starting using Macs in OS9, I’ve wanted to tab between form fields on web pages and dialogue boxes but always found, to my great distress, that checkboxes, select boxes and buttons were skipped. Eureka! A solution! (Am I the only one who didn’t know this was possible?)

Bless you, lifehacker, for showing me how to move my Firefox 2 tab close buttons (among other things).

Firefox 2 hit the FTP servers today, and I must admit that the migration of the tab close button will take some getting used to. (Of course, I’ve been using the beta and I still haven’t adjusted, so perhaps it’s hopeless). I preferred the placement in the top right of the viewport; I will admit that I rarely, if ever, actually used the button, but now the button is decidedly in my way. I’ve closed half a dozen tabs by accident today, which of course is merely an indication that I am tab-jumping much too hastily, but that is besides the point. Alas, all relevant browsers — e.g., Safari, Firefox, IE7, Opera — now have the close button on the tab.

For anyone who has ever suffered through so-called agile software development.

iTunes 7 cuts the “Browse” button from the main UI, which is further evidence that I’m one of only a handful of people who actually use the browse bar. (So far, I’ve told four people about the absence of the button, and I’ve gotten four blank stares.) Is this a sign that the browse bar will be phased out completely? Say it isn’t so!

A reminder of why I’m so grateful to be a designer first and a developer second instead of the inverse.
