Frances Julie's Mom lives in West Palm Beach, which is directly in the path of Frances. She's decided to weather it out in Miami. I don't know if Miami is in the path of the hurricane or not, but I'd love to find some blogs from that area. Blogs seem to provide much timelier news than traditional media - and they're usually more pleasant to read.

Michael Levin (of Gainesville I believe) points to buzzmodo, who seems to live in Central Florida and gives a chilling perspective of what's going on there right now.

The streets are empty, stores are boarded up, many gas stations are without gas, having sold out yesterday. Most business are closed including all of the banks.

I heard friends today sharing tips about where to get battery powered radios, then where to get batteries, and where to get water.

It's almost as if people are preparing for the end times.

Fix Tab to drop-down in Firefox on OS X Firefox is a great browser as most of you probably already know. I recently switched to using it as my default browser on OS X because Safari is flakey with GMail. One of the annoying things about Firefox on OS X is you can't tab to drop-downs in a web page. No longer my friends - in this month's Macworld there's a solution!

In Firefox (or Mozilla), type about:config in the address bar. Then search for "accessiblity.tabfocus". Change the value to "3" in order to allow tabbing to all form elements, or "7" if you want form elements + links.

Now if I could only get my two favorite Safari features in Firefox: auto-fillin of forms and spell-checking as you type. Posted in Mac OS X at Sep 03 2004, 03:47:08 PM MDT 10 Comments
