Mr. Strobist is famous




David Hobby on USA Today

I’ve been traveling too much as of late and it shows, especially when you consider how seldom I have updated my blog. However, one of the joys of traveling to the US is that hotels will typically leave a complimentary copy of USA Today in front of your room every morning for your reading pleasure.

I don’t find USA Today to be a particularly good read, but the other day I was glad to find that their “Money” section carried a long interview with David “Mr. Strobist” Hobby. Kudos to David for having become famous: he certainly deserves it!

Bizarre Firefox 3 Beta 5 bug

I just upgraded my installation of Firefox 3 to the latest Beta 5 version, after having used Beta 4 for a while. I must say that Firefox 3 on the Mac is miles above version 2, especially with respect to speed and memory usage, and it has immediately become my browser of choice, despite the unavailability of most add-ons for this version.

Beta 5, however, has this very annoying bug, at least on my Tiger-powered MacBook Pro: The Back and Forward navigation buttons are duplicated in the toolbar. Urgh!

Update: customizing the toolbar using the appropriate dialog box (View > Toolbars > Customize) to remove the extra navigation control fixed it.
