I think I’m wrong about the beta thing. I am finally downloading what looks like a 3 final for Mac. I’m glad to be wrong, everything else I said still stands

Alastair easy with those tricky maths anti-spam sums man I’m not going to be able to comment if they get much harder, lol

Go Dwayne you machine. Imagine how many people benefit from the work you guys are doing, and to what an extent they are benefiting!! Good stuff.

I’m upset about how the Mozilla guys have executed this “download day” world record attempt though. I have been trying since 7pm and am still not able to get anything more than a completely blank page to load. It’s so sad that this little effort was put into keeping the infrastructure standing. I mean _come on_ you’re wanting to set a WORLD RECORD attempt, surely you’re going to expect to be hit like you’ve never been hit before? Now instead of people talking about how Open Source Software sat there and handled the load with a grin on its face they will be talking about how it fell over, and over, and over, and over….. and is pathetic, which those of us who know know is not the case. And all this was just to download another beta? So much for deadlines being met.

And yet I really appreciate the awesome free standards compliant browser that they make me, and am not meaning to sound like a whining pest. All sorts of people would have had a really awesome case study to not shut up about if things had turned out differently, that’s all.

“/usr/local/firefox/firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libpangocairo-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory”

Gaaaaah! Looks like my Linux is too old to run this.

Translate.org.za is hoping to get Afrikaans into Firefox 3, the other languages we will do during the Firefox 3 cycle (unless we get someone passionate about their language).

You can get the latest Firefox 3 nightly build in Afrikaans for testing from:
