I spent the evening getting the mountain bikes out of storage, servicing them, replacing two tyres, adjusting the gears and drivetrain - and finally testing them.
Phew! Hot and dirty. There was so much old oil and dirt in the chain. I spent a lot of time cleaning that and getting everything running well.
Hopefully we will get the chance to go for a ride tomorrow morning.
Firefox plugins

I’m using Bon Echo - currently the alpha 3 release of the next generation Firefox browser.
I’m really impressed that even as an alpha it’s seemingly rock solid - and with some really nice enhancements.
One thing I did miss was some of my plugins - mainly around web development.
Most plugins are written to support the current branch of Firefox - i.e. 1.5.x - I found a plugin to help with these on Bon Echo.
The MR Tech Local Install plugin works with Bon Echo - also it allows the ‘max version’ tag for plugins to be directly overridden. That lets me install all manner of newer plugins on my cutting edge Firefox.
