This is a quick tip that allows multiple configurations of Firefox on the same user account within Windows or LINUX.

• First, close all Firefox program instances.
• Next, from the command line run “firefox -ProfileManager“
• Create a new profile
• Create a new copy of your Firefox shortcut
• Modify the shortcuts to run “firefox -P <profilename>“

This same trick will also work for Debian IceWeasel or GNU IceCat, the two 100% free variants of Firefox.

Tomorrow, in an effort to gain attention and support for their misfortunes with recent legislation that will make it significantly more costly to broadcast music across the internet, many webcasters will be shutting down their service or will not broadcasting music at all.

The only thing the average netizen can do is to contact their local Congressman and get them to support H.R. 2060, the “Internet Radio Equality Act.”

I, for one will severely miss SomaFM if it is to be shut down. To put the law into perspective, SomaFM will have to pay $600,000 retroactively for last year’s broadcasts instead of the $20,000 they were supposed to owe.

In the next few days, I’m going to either write or call my local Congresswoman and ask her to support the bill. Anyone reading this should do the same!

Well, it is finally 100% complete that I’ve moved from my old web host to some space under my buddy AJ’s hosting account at Dreamhost.com. I transfered all of my web content and email information a number of weeks back and the the fax order to cancel service with my old account went through a few days ago.

The impetus for moving was a history of low service quality, months of service outages, and a shoddy backup system that left me with segments of my data (mostly email content) corrupted numerous times over the course of three years. I guess that’s what you get when you go with a webhost that is named after the cost of your service plan. I’m not going to name then so as to not give them any free PR, but I’ll tell you that it only cost me four bucks a month for hosting.

Anyway, the move went off without a hitch and I haven’t had any issues with the new host yet.

After catching wind from a Google Blog post about Google Maps Mobile for a specific GPS enabled phone, I decided to investigate further using my handy Palm TX with WiFi and Bluetooth.

Upon going to the website for Google Maps Mobile on the Palm, there was a message that recognized that I was on a PalmOS handheld and asked me to install a .prc file for Google Maps. I was hopeful that the program would work with my bluetooth GPS unit, but found that it doesn’t. That lack of bluetooth GPS functionality doesn’t downplay all of the other amazing features that the program offers. You can search, browse in map and satellite mode, get directions, and zoom in to all levels that the web version allows; all through a high speed wifi connection.

I’m still hopeful that Google will eventually enable bluetooth GPS devices, but until then, I’ve got a really handy new piece of software to play around with.
