CircleDock - another Open Source discovery

Upon downloading this app, I was immediately pleased. What exactly is it? Well, CircleDock gives you what can be best described as an icon bar, or shortcut menu, in the shape of...well, you guessed it, a circle. If you are familiar with the Mac dock, this is very similar except for its shape. What I really love about this is I can put all my shortcuts on it and remove them from my desktop...no more clutter. The CircleDock pops up when you middle mouse click or press F1 (these default hotkeys can be changed in the settings). It will disappear with the same click or press or when you click one of the shortcuts. Check it out: http://circledock.wikidot.com/

Follower of Jesus on the Mozilla Staff

Gervase Markham, one of the staff members of Mozilla (http://www.mozilla.org/about/staff), is a believer and proudly professes so on his blog: http://www.gerv.net/hacking/why-hacking-for-christ.html. Here's a link to his blog "Hacking for Christ": http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/gerv/. I just thought it was really neat when I found out that one of the Mozilla staff was a Christian (another reason to use Fire fox ;). I contacted him and let him know what I thought. I also asked if there were any other believers on the Mozilla team. He said that there were not many and that it was a very needy mission field. I guess more people like me (aspiring programmers) need take up our task and share the hope we have with those in the fields we are entering (programming). Anyway, I just thought I'd share that. :)

(Edited to note that I now disagree with the late Gervase Markham's theology, and I also disagree with the colonialist theology I employed in this post.)
