Seems everything’s updating all at once –

Internet Explorer 7 for XP

Updated to this at work, no problems. Seems to be running just fine. I’ve snagged the standalone version for 6.0 so that I should be able to continue with testing/development on both. Sigh. Not quite at the point of setting up multiboot between XP and Vista, but we’ll see.

Firefox 2.0

Update on my Windows machine, no problems. Looks VERY nice. I appreciate the tabbing features except for the fall-off scrolling at both ends. I was prepared to hate the close tabs, but they only show up once the tab is active, which means I don’t hit them by accident the way I used to when I tried an older extension. I love the integration with the various feed readers, I was able to remove the Bloglines button and with the MiniMenu extension save some serious real estate on the top. Will be nice to upgrade to 2.0 on my laptop, where the real estate would really be handy.

Ubuntu 6.10

I had no trouble with upgrading from Hoary to Dapper, but a friend did. So this time ’round I’m sitting out the upgrade for a little while. And it sounds like Edgy has some rough spots, so I’m in no hurry. A fresh install may work better than an update over Dapper, but I’ll monitor it for a while longer.

Wordpress 2.0.5

Important security upgrade, you should do it — here and also here. It only takes a few seconds to upgrade if you use Mark’s diff zip file, which I did. Even with the potential bug (which he has a fix for), I would go ahead and update. Keep an eye on Mark’s blog for more info on 2.0.5.
