A restoration of order
This weekend, I finally put my home computing displacement behind me. My laptop had become my main PC with a combination of external hard drives and an Octigen external hard drive enclosure keeping me motoring in laptop limbo.

64-bit (Google) Gears
Gears offers the potential to speed up WordPress’ administration screens so I tend to add it to Firefox as a matter of course. However, Google only offers a 32 bit version so you are either left to your own devices with the source or you snag someone else’s efforts. I have gone for the latter [...]
