Rediscovering Firefox

Back in the days of yore, I used a web browser called Netscape. Netscape eventually died off but out of its ashes came a browser called Firefox. For a long time this was the only alternative to Internet Explorer and before Chrome was even a thing. I recently saw on my news feed that Firefox …

I hate it when I’m blocked using my VPN

Like many IT people, I use a VPN when I'm surfing the internet.  Granted I post a ton of shit on my blog, twitter, and Facebook but sometimes you just want to go about your business without people logging you right and left.  There are literally tons of articles out there saying that in order …

Testing out Scribefire for Blogging

I'm continuing my blogging experimentation with WordPress by trying different blogging editors.  The latest one that I'm trying is Scribefire which is a plugin for Firefox which I use as my primary web browser.  This isn't actually new to me, I've used Scribefire before when I was still using Blogger but I always went back …
