My Scribefire is Back in Business [Productivity @ Home]
Following an uninstall and fresh reinstall of Firefox 3, I’m happy to report that my old friend Scribefire now seems to be running properly - I missed you Scribefire!!

Firefox 3 - Better or Worse? [Productivity @ Home]
I’ve upgraded tonight to Firefox 3, but my favorite new application, Scribefire, appears not to be working anymore. It’s funny how quickly you can become dependent upon these little plugin apps. With Scribefire and Firefox 2, I could easily blog to either of my blogs with a single right click and no need to log [...]

iPhone Tool for Readers [Productivity @ Home]
LivingSocial Blog: Have an iPhone?
