Mozilla Firefox 1.5 was officially released yesterday, after being in release candidate status for months. Release notes and downloads are available at mozilla.org. The US English version is 5MB to download. British English and Irish versions are not yet available.

Wow, what a shower of pricks Irish Ferries’ management are. I hope the unions nail them to the wall.
Re-registering their ships under foreign flags of convenience so that they won’t have to obey Irish employment laws? Trying to sack hundreds of long term employees in order to replace them with slave-wage “agency” workers? Trying to employ union-busting tactics? Congratulations, you bastards.

Victory is mine!

I do this once every few months – a roundup of amusing search terms that I find in my http referrer logs. Here’s the latest:

“road fucking”, via MSN search, from someone in the US
“someone taking a dump”, via BBC search, from someone in the UK
“bang on net”, via Wanadoo search, from someone in the UK
“wife trader”, via Google, from someone in the US
“Skangers”, several times via Yahoo, Google as Gaeilge and normal Google, from guess where
“FUCK OFF”, via MSN search, someone in the US

That first one … seriously…

OK, forget Jack Thompson. He’s just been knocked off the top spot for bell-end of the week. Step up Sandrine Helene Sellies, you are the new champion!
Sandrine wins the prize for her cunning idea to have a cocktail of booze and sleeping pills to alleviate her fear of flying. She then proceeded to try to open the aircraft door inflight so that she could have a smoke.

What a fucking idiot. I see a Darwin award in her future.

Jack Thompson is our first repeat winner of the prestigious Bell-end of the Week award. If you don’t know who he is, click the his name in the previous sentence. Jack gets his second award for finally getting his licence to practice law revoked, albeit only in the state of Alabama.

Jack, this is for you, from everyone who enjoys video games:

Check this out. The NCT report makes for some funny reading, along with the questions to the seller. If eBay delete it, you can still see the pictures here.

French software devs Nadeo have made the new version of their addictive arcade stunt-racer cum puzzle game, Trackmania Sunrise eXtreme available for free to existing owners of Trackmania Sunrise, of which I am one
