Mozilla Developer News reports that Firefox 3 will be officially launched next Tuesday, June 17. Make sure you download your copy that day, to help Mozilla break the world download record. I’ve been using Firefox 3 for a while now, and it’s worlds better than Firefox 2 (which was already super awesome).

I have added a new section to the sidebar of this site, showing the most recent comments posted here. Hopefully, this will help foster further discussion on older topics (which occasionally get comments). This new feature comes via the aptly named Recent Comments WordPress plug-in. I’m quite impressed with the customization options available, and installation was a snap.

Does anyone have any recommendations for how the recent comments list should appear? Plenty of options are available, including an excerpt preview of each comment. I tried several options out, but I’m not sure what visitors would find most useful.

Your suggestions would be appreciated.

I have fixed two bugs in Monkey Album:

• Comment cookie data is now restored properly. The cookies were being created just fine, but form data wasn’t being pre-filled from them like it should have been.
• Apostrophes in comments no longer generate a leading slash. This was due to an unfortunate side effect of including several WordPress files (strange as that may sound).

Hat tip to Dustin for pointing these out.
