Over 8 Million Firefox Downloads!

How crazy is that?! Over 8 Millon Downloads of Firefox 3 with in a 24 HR period! It’s amazing how much things have changed since the release of Firefox 1 and Firefox 2. When Firefox 2 originally released only 1.5 million people downloaded with in a 24 HR Period, now here we are at Firefox 3 and over 8 million people downloaded this piece of software! I know, I know I’m repeating myself but it’s just truely astonishing and it makes me wonder how about how amazing that would be if we could reach that many people in the world through whether it be Liquid Church, Liquid Melborne, Liquid Internet Campus (Coming 2009), or even through partnered churches. Wouldn’t that just be simply insane or better yet an amazing thing? Now of course I’m not talking about with in a 24 HR period but still just the thought of it just overflows in me and sends chills through out me.

Now that download day is over and the chance to help set a World Record is now over, it does not mean you no longer can download Firefox 3. At the moment there are over 11 million downloads as I write this! If you haven’t upgraded to Firefox 3 yet or have never tried Firefox in the first place, definitely give it a try. It’s 10x faster then Internet Explorer, More Secure, Tons and Tons of Add Ons, and more! So again thank you to everyone who participated in this event and brought this great milestone!

This Sunday I unfortunately won’t be able to make it to Liquid. I will be down in Maryland visiting my older brother. It was originally suppose to be just the two of  us hanging out. But my dad called me up out of no where last week and pretty much invited himself. As much as this bothered me and I really wanted to say no because I haven’t spoken to him in months, and has made no effort to see my brothers and I, I couldn’t. I felt trapped so to speak, he is my father and it was just one of those things where I didn’t want to say no or yes. I mean here I am, thinking “What the?! Wait no! You call me up asking if you can come and tell me your going to come after you neglected our family?! How dare you do that!” and of course I didn’t say this.

But I certainly felt how Pastor Tim felt when he talked about how he felt watching that documentry about how those people in another country lived, how those girls were treated. I really wanted yell and maybe I should have, but I tried to keep my cool as best as I could so he wouldn’t notice. So hopefully this weekend will go well and I have a feeling it will. So I leave tomorrow after work, I first have an appointement with an Allergist so I can get medicine my Allergies which means I will be going into work late. Hopefully the latest I’ll go in is at 11am as my appointment is at 9:30.

Feel free to leave your comments and thoughts about anything I’ve mentioned in today’s post!

College is out and I’m back!

Ah the lovely feeling of summer break and being able to go back to your original daily schedule for work! There is no sarcasm in that I really do mean it.  College this year was definitely ten times better then last year, my studying habits are better and I didn’t go out as much, however my grade in my math class says other wise.  I’m also quite concerned what my grade is in my programing class. I’ll be happy with a C or even a D just so I can move forward to get my other classes done and then come to back it and retake the class for an easy A later on. So this summer if I can I’m going to be retaking my math class, so I can take the last Mod once classes start back up in the fall. If I can’t no worries it wont set me back entirely.

So I’m back and I can now finally focus on the projects I’ve been working on during school. The Mixxing Bowl Theme is finally going to be completed, learn how to properly code in Java on my own time (being force fed isn’t fun), get CompTIA Certified, second job just to make some extra cash, continue play testing my card game, continue fleshing out the video game I presented in class(I would really love to see it get built), get work done on my cars back and front bumper as well as the one side skirt replaced. I’m sure there will be more to come, but having this free time now is allowing me to do what I need to do. Oh and I also plan on getting my own domain name soon and hosting wordpress on it’s own server. When I’m not sure but it will happen. So till then give me some idea’s on the name of the blog/site/domain name!

My laptop is still out for repairs but they are just waiting on one more part and it will be shipped back to me. There’s also more to the story then I’m currently telling you guys, but I’m saving it till I get the system back so I can tell it in full and not in broken bits and pieces. It will be more of like a review on my experience with the support call, the critical issues contact I have and my experience with them, the quality of repair, if any compensations were given, and of course my overall experience since day one (June/May 2006) with my system from Alienware. So sit back, relax, grab some coffee, tea or a drink of your choosing as things are just starting to slowly take off.
