As for women at #Wimbledon, I don't care which Williams sister wins. I won't be watching. I miss Henin, Davenport, Klijsters & Hingis!
I couldn't be happier. My two favourite men's tennis players will be playing the #Wimbledon finals on Sunday! I don't know who to cheer for!

Re: Using TiVo Series 3 in Canada - http://daledietrich.com/imedia...
"Yes Ian, that's it. You get the zip codes from the nearest border town and see how it goes. But I honestly don't know what OTA digital signals are available in Victoria - if any. Canadian stations are slowly changing - most have made the switch in Toronto - but not all. Also, not all the Toronto digital stations are in the guide from my nearest border town, but most are. My guess is your going to get dismal results in Victoria unless there is a major U.S. city within, say 50 miles and I don't think there is. But I will be intrigued to hear how it goes once you give it a try." - Dale Dietrich

Re: Firefox 3.5 Ticks Along Nicely - http://www.daleisphere.com/firefox...
"I usuall have a couple dozen tabs open across 2 or 3 or 4 open Firefox Windows at any given time but I haven't noticed slowdowns since version 2. something. I have Windows 64 with 4 Gigs of RAM so maybe that has made a difference for me. Otherwise I'm not finding the tab memory use any better in 3.5 than 3." - Dale Dietrich
Re: iPhone App Development - Where to Start - http://www.daleisphere.com/iphone-...
"I feel your pain Adam. There are at least a half dozen apps in the app store now that are of the same type as the one I intended to create - but none (last time I checked) are anywhere near as good as what I have in mind. But the barriers to entry have still kept me from competing my app. I haven't thrown in the towel completely. Have you searched the app store to be certain what you have in mind hasn't already been tackled in the 50,000ish apps already out there?" - Dale Dietrich

Firefox 3.5 Ticks Along Nicely - http://www.daleisphere.com/firefox...
I upgraded my iMac and my Windows 7 machines to Firefox 3.5 (available here) today.  All went well. The total download/install time was about 4 minutes on my iMac – 2 minutes on Windows 7 RC. This isn’t a particularly important release for me. I was happy with Firefox 3.0.1. But they promised more speed [...] - Dale Dietrich
