Twenty not Two-Thousand

In case you were wondering, the correct way to say the year that starts tomorrow is “Twenty Ten”. At least, that’s what the people at twentynot2000.com believe. I guess I agree. They seem overly concerned that we will be stuck listening to people say the current year the wrong way for the next 89 years.

Hitch your wagon to a star, folks.

Can’t Install Firebug in Firefox

I ran into this problem where I was unable to install Firebug in Firefox. It would act like it was installing, Firefox would restart, but the plugin was simply not there.

A little research revealed there could be a variety of reasons for this, but for me it turned out Avast! antivirus was preventing it from working.

I disabled the Network service in Avast! long enough to try again, and it all worked.

Hopefully this will help someone else who runs into the problem.
