A conduit to the voices in my head
Firefox 1.5 (Deer Park) beta 1 has been released. Check out the release notes here. The most notable new feature (IMO, and one that should have been in from the start) is the first bullet:
- Automated update to streamline product upgrades. Notification of an update is more prominent, and updates to Firefox may now be half a megabyte or smaller. Updating extensions has also improved.
It’s about damn time…having to download the entire Firefox binary for updates is a total PITA. I’ll probably hold off until beta 2 until I upgrade though, mainly to give the extension devs some time to provide compatibility with the new version.

About Jayson Knight
Jayson Knight was clueless to the computer programming world until he took a C++ class in college. The rest is proverbial history. He has been building applications targeting the .Net framework for 7 years, focusing mainly on internet technologies and database driven web application development.
Most recently he left the world of Corporate IT to finish up his degree in Chemistry, with an eye on Medical School and an Anesthesiology residency program. Read this post for more information.
He is also a Community Server MVP: Community Server is the software that runs this site, plus many others on the web. For more information, check out http://csmvps.com.
When he finds time to pry himself away from his computer and university studies, he can be found on the mountain bike trails when it's warm, and on the ski slopes when it's cold.
