MozillaZine reports that a minor bug fix release for Firebird will be out this week. Firebird 0.6 has been languishing for awhile, so it’s good to see that an update is forthcoming. The one crash bug that I have problems with all the time is that the form helper sometimes gets stuck if you use [...]

I just realized this morning that George W Bush, 43rd President of the United States, and I have something in common (other than the fact that we’re both white boys who are for all intents and purposes from Texas).
