Now TWO weeks and not a peep. Any kind of update on the progress?

For future reference: I would have been far happier getting a "surprise"
email letting me know a beta was available than getting told one would
be available and then not seeing it. Sometimes, ignorance IS bliss.

Edinburgh is NOT in the highlands; except for people who think that
Munchen is in Lower Saxony. :)

The Castle is on a hill though. Maybe that's Kevin's house?

Yup, and the programmers are kept in the dungeons inside the hill.

Patience, grasshopper :)

You wouldn't want a plugin that opened your computer to security threats or
crashed your browser would you? I'm not saying Beta 1 won't do those things,
but they won't be as obvious or frequent.

Keep in mind we also are supporting the following "platforms:"

Safari Mac
Firefox 3.0/3.5 Mac
IE7/IE8 Windows XP
IE7/IE8 Vista/7
Firefox 3.0/3.5 Windows XP
Firefox 3.0/3.5 Vista
Firefox Linux
... and variations like Chrome and Opera

We're discovering each of these has its own little quirks. Point taken about
not being so optimistic about beta announces.

I thought 2 weeks was the standard release date for ANY software in
development? No matter when the question is asked, "2 weeks" is the
answer.

Well, even though I have NEVER been known for waiting patiently for
anything, I'm actually glad to have been told a tentative target date
for the beta--it makes it easier for me to see the light at the end of
the tunnel. ;-)

Here in Brazil our image of scotland is that of cheesy actors wearing
kilts choping the heads out of their foes with swords while the queen
is playing and Sir Sean Connery is smiling pretending to be spanish...

*joke*ducks*

which is better than what the average european or american thinks
Brazil is.... during travels, I had to answer the following very
peculiar questions:
1) Do you live in a jungle with indians? Me: Yes, My Father is the
shaman and eat the catholic priest to aquire his powers of chocolate
making.
2) Do you really walk naked on the street? Me: Yes, but I am forbidden
to do that by law because people were falling in love all the time.
3) What about all the wild animals like lions and elephants? Me: Once
I had to shoo a lion with a broom, he was just there on my living room
licking my baby elephant, the lion though it was his child.
4) How come your a software developer, do you have electricity or
computers there? Me: no we don't, my computer is crank powered and was
smuggled on elephants into the country.
5) All you are soccer stars, do you know Pelé? Me: Yes I had an
agreement with him, he teached me how to code and I teached him how to
play soccer.

The list goes on forever... Even U.S. Presidents on official visits
had the location of the country and it's capital wrong.... ARGH!
during school here I had to learn the basic history of each single
american, european and asiatic countries. During my university exams,
I had questions on politics and geography from hundreds years past for
countries such as France, China, India. Questions about the russian
revolution and african cleptocracies. Now, people can't locate my
country on a map... at least people know where Scotland is...

We know that really Brazil is an Orwellian police state, where Robert
De Niro works as a plumber.

Hi Andre,

more stupid American questions about Brazil:
Can you dance and play the bossa nova?
Did you know Antonio Carlos Jobim and Astrud Giberto?
Are you a fan of Milton Nacimento and Bebe Giberto? (I am..)
Do you know anybody that actually lives in Brasilla? (candangos?)

...is that any better?

personal note: long ago I almost went to Brazil to record Milton's
solo record, produced by my friend Jim Price, but Jim had already
picked somebody....Jim also produced 'Native Dancer' with Wayne
Shorter and Milton. One of my favorite LPs.

My favourite tunes from this album are "Ponta de Areia" and "Ana Maria"!
