Okay maybe I was hasty

It may have just been the way it interacts with NoScript — not the old plugin the blocked flash and allowed fine grained controls, but the one put out by http://www.informaction.com/.  I thought noscript was a trusted tool, but now I’m afraid I just installed spyware.  I didn’t like the look of the site.

Mozilla sucks

Firefox and Seamonkey forced ugrade installations and browser restarts.  Seamonkey completely broke on its mandatory upgrade, and I had to re-install.  Now both browsers launch, but neither work.  They are broken beyond repair, javascript doesn’t work, css is worse (you couldn’t really say it worked before), and you can’t even properly configure javascript. To top it all off, popups aren’t blocked by default.  Oh yeah, many extensions are broken as well.

 Looks like I’m going back to IE.  I’m downloading Opera now.  I’m certainly not going to support anything from the Mozilla Foundation Corporation for at least 6 months. 

 My guess is that there was a major security vulnerability discovered (but not disclosed) that in their minds, justified forcing such draconian and idiotic measures on the users.  However, not even Microsoft forces installation unless you select it.  Maybe I should blame windows for allowing these crap applications to infiltrate my computer.

Don’t use Firefox 2.0.11 or Seamonkey 1.1.7.  They are broken beyond use.  Not since the early milestones has it been this bad.

pycron

This is a nice tool to run cron jobs on windows. It uses py2exe

Another tool I’ve read was good:

Don’t use VisualCron (it doesn’t even know what a cron job is)
or CronW — it’s an ugly perl program.
