Web Developer 1.1.8 and User Agent Switcher 0.7.2

Upda­ted patch relea­ses for both the Web Deve­lo­per and User Agent Switcher exten­sions have been released.

This ver­sion of the Web Deve­lo­per exten­sion fixes an issue where the ‘View Gene­ra­ted Source’ fea­ture did not work as well, as com­bi­ning the Fire­fox and Sea­mon­key ver­sions of the exten­sion into one build. The User Agent Switcher exten­sion release should hope­fully fix the pro­blem with impor­ting user agents in nes­ted fol­ders once and for all.

Apo­lo­gies for the fre­quent upda­tes, but hope­fully these will be the final patch relea­ses before the next major relea­ses of the extensions.

Webmaster Jam Session 2008

2008 Webmaster Jam SessionIn Octo­ber I will be at the Web­mas­ter Jam Ses­sion in Atlanta, spea­king about using the Web Deve­lo­per exten­sion to deve­lop and debug web sites in a ses­sion called Fire­fox Web Deve­lop­ment. The dates for the event are Octo­ber 3rd and 4th, and even if my ses­sion sounds dull there are a ton of other spea­kers so it should be well worth chec­king out.

Web Developer 1.1.5 and User Agent Switcher 0.6.11

Biza­rrely (and rather emba­rras­singly) this is an almost iden­ti­cal post to my last post over 10 months ago. New ver­sions of the Web Deve­lo­per and User Agent Switcher exten­sions have been relea­sed. These relea­ses are mainly to add sup­port for the upco­ming Fire­fox 3, but also con­tain a few other bug fixes.

And just like my last post I have rede­sig­ned my site — I think everything is wor­king, but let me know if you see anything bro­ken. Maybe I will actually write some posts desc­ri­bing some of the new fea­tu­res like I pro­mi­sed last time.

Web Developer 1.1.4 and User Agent Switcher 0.6.10

New ver­sions of the Web Deve­lo­per and User Agent Switcher exten­sions have been relea­sed. They are both patch relea­ses fixing minor issues, as well as upda­ting the exten­sion down­load and update URLs to hope­fully help with my band­width costs.

If you are rea­ding this on chrispederick.com you will also see that I have rede­sig­ned my site. I am still wor­king out some of the kinks so let me know if you see anything funky and look for some blog posts in the future desc­ri­bing some of the new features.

Gorillapod

gorillapodThere have been many times when I have wan­ted a tri­pod while taking pho­tos, but I did not want to carry around a bulky tri­pod since I only use a com­pact camera.

Last week I orde­red a Gori­lla­pod — a com­pact and light­weight alter­na­tive to a tra­di­tio­nal tri­pod — and I was able to try it out this weekend.

Illegal Videos

All of my videos on chrispederick.com are uploa­ded to You­Tube and then dis­pla­yed on my site using the You­Tube API. This works well since it allows me to deli­ver the videos through Flash so that they can play on the majo­rity of com­pu­ters and redu­ces the band­width usage on my site, while the loss in qua­lity is not a big issue since the videos are not exactly stun­ning works of art!

Howe­ver, in the last year I have had three videos remo­ved by You­Tube for copy­right infrin­ge­ment under the DMCA.

Ver­sion 1.1.3 of the Web Deve­lo­per exten­sion has been relea­sed. This is another patch release con­tai­ning what I hope are the last major issues that were dis­co­ve­red in the pre­vious ver­sion. With the major issues resol­ved this ver­sion has also been uploa­ded to Fire­fox Add-ons.
