"The twelve people still reading Electrolite may wonder what caused the month-long gap between posts."

One of the nice things about RSS is that it means no more visiting a site every day only to find that, once again, there's no new content. Of course, it's still disappointing to glance at the "Subscribed Feeds" panel of my RSS reader and see that there are 0 new posts for Electrolite, but at least I haven't expended any energy discovering this. As a result, I no longer feel nearly as much annoyance towards sites that update erratically (as long as they have an RSS feed).

Patrick asked:

In a different query for my Windows-savvy readers, can anyone offer a clue about how to get externally-invoked links to spawn new tabs in either Mozilla or Mozilla Firebird, rather than simply taking over the frontmost tab of the frontmost browser window?

In Firebird:

1)Type about:config in the address bar.

2)Scroll down to advanced.system.supportDDEExec and double click on it.

3)In the box that pops up change true to false and click OK.

This will make every link open in a new window. To make links open in new tabs, you will also need to install Tabbrowser Extensions (I haven't done this). More information is here.
