Mozilla has release Firefox 1.0 Preview Release so go upgrade! Make sure to uninstall your old version first (you won't lose your profile which has your bookmarks, settings etc.)
Another Firefox tip for the day:
You can click on the icon in the search box to choose where to perform your search, such as Amazon, Ebay, Google, etc. There is also an option in the box to add more search engines. I suggest trying out Vivisimo. They have a cool "clustering" system which groups results by relevance. For example, if you did a search for "Hilton" because you needed to find a hotel, you wouldn't have to search through tons of Paris Hilton pages to find it because the links would be in different clusters by subject matter. It also allows you to search certain other sites (from the Vivisimo homepage) like Ebay or BBC, and have the clustered results. This came is really handy for me on Ebay. There several cool additional search options such as the ability to search several news sites only, as opposed to the whole web.
If you want to delete an option from the menu (for example, I never search Yahoo) just go to "searchplugins" underneath your firefox installation folder and delete the ones you don't want.
Spread the Firefox love! Let's beat IE down with a pointy stick!
I have nothing to say about Firefox, but I wanted to comment on something else:
When I link into your site from Jess's blog, it shows a whole load of standard entries and no Haiku bar your top entry. When I leave a comment and look at the Next/Previous links at the top to get out, the links are only for next or previous Haiku, and there is no Main link as per Jess's. Sometimes I try to navigate back to Main via the Archives, and I seem to get a combination of standard entries and Haiku. I suppose I should just re-enter the main url link, shouldn't I?
*sigh* I'm rambling to myself now. Carry on.

1. As for linking from Jess's blog, I'm baffled. When I folow the link from her blog I see my normal page with Haiku bar and everything.
2. I didn't include a "main" link because the "human" link on the left serves the same purpose. I have thought about adding a "main" link though just for people who are used to that. The next>previous aren't only for haiku, but this is where it gets complicated. On my main page I have the haiku bar set to display the last entry in the "Haiku" category. The rest of the page is set to display the last 15 entries of all categories EXCEPT haiku. I did this so my main page did not get overrun by daily Haiku. Unfortunately as of yet I have found no way at all to make the next/previous links exclude haiku, therefore it may look like they only link to haiku, but they are actually scrolling one by one through all entries. It's just that there are more haiku than anything.
