I’ve just received news that the Firefox Community has officially broken a new world record; “largest number of software downloads in 24 hours”. I am a part of the Firefox Community and have helped in the progress by downloading Firefox 3 at the time onto my Mac and my sister’s Toshiba Portégé® Tablet PC. That’s two downloads. I am very happy about this. This is the first time I’ve participated in a world record and it was so easy.

I got a certificate as well:

The day that commemorates the day I was born is was here (I’ve always wanted to say that). My birthday was yesterday. We didn’t have much except a mini-barbecue. And my dad gave me £10. Woohoo! This will go to help me save up to buy MY OWN MACBOOK PRO(more likely an iPhone or iPod though).

Just wanted to let you know.

Other IMPORTANT :D news include me having trouble with Mail.app, and my dad said he’s finally going to upgrade our RAM for my Mac. I’ve only got 2GB of RAM and my Mac is already starting to freeze frequently because of my dad’s files and downloads. Never knew a Mac could get so slow.

Finally! Just when I give up, I find out how to install Leopard on my USB. I was just browsing this new site I came across, maciverse.com, when I found this article. I won’t be long, my dad’ll wake up anytime.

I won’t even say anything, except ENJOY

If you lose that article to a 404 error or …something, there’s always this one

If both of them get lost, all I know is that, with the Leopard one, you need more than 8 GB, GUID partition, and if you have 8GB you can do a custom install and take out optional stuff, such as unneeded drivers.
Note: This hasn’t been tested on OSX86 machines

Good Luck!

Qumana

Just recently, I wrote a review of MarsEdit, saying in the introduction that I don’t like Qumana anymore. Today, I’m going to compare Qumana and MarsEdit, and I’m gonna run both of them through a series of tests and see if they suit different people in different situations, or if one of them is just not umm… good enough

<del>Crossed out</del>

Here is the MarsEdit interface, the work area. It’s clean and simple. Like I said in my MarsEdit review, the developer doesn’t clutter it up with useless features, but only places the most commonly used ones to keep it simple. Now have a look at Qumana (if I can get it to load; it’s already disqualified off the Usability round)

QUMANA HAS AUTOMATICALLY BEEN DISQUALIFIED OFF THE USABILITY ROUND; THE FIRST ROUND. WHY WON’T IT OPEN? I’LL CONTINUE THIS POST NEXT TIME…

Sorry about not coming up with the posts I said I was going to write. Just a note that don’t check back too often, because my dad takes up a lot of the time at the computer. He’s on it 24/7. So the posts will progress slowly. At least no new ideas have come up.
