Choosing the right software for your dynamic web content management is important.
There are tons of hosted and installable software packages out there that do web content management. Some good, some not so good. Only one thing is certain, you’ll have your work cut out for you if you choose the wrong one.

Firefox 3.5.1 released!
After announcing a critical but in their new javascript engine on the 16th, Mozilla turned around a fixed release in hours!
This is an important release, and Mozilla as well as the rest of the security experts are recommending you upgrade immediately.
I have to say, even I am shocked at how fast this fix came out! Hat’s off to Mozilla for getting it done!
This corrects the error in their code I posted on last night.

Mozilla announced today that it’s new browser, Firefox 3.5 is vulnerable to a new JavaScript exploit that was introduced in the new TraceMonkey JavaScript Engine that was added to the new release.
This exploit could allow someone to hijack a users machine. THIS IS BAD!
The exploit went public today, July 16th, 2009 and there is currently no patch available. If you are running the new Firefox browser, it is recommended that you turn off the “just-in-time” component of the TraceMonkey engine. To do this, you should enter “about:config” in your browser’s address bar, type “jit” in the filter box, then double-click the “javascript.options.jit.content” entry to set the value to “false.”

Is the Internet killing Main Street, or was it already dead?
When I was a kid, I could walk down Las Tunas Blvd. and not go more then 3 store fronts without knowing the the business owner’s names. Well, at least their family names, because back then you called people by their last name, usually preceded by a Mr., Mrs. or Miss.
That’s not to say that there weren’t Super Markets and Department Stores. But you still went down to the corner drug store to get your prescriptions, paper and office supplies were purchased from the local stationary store, and small toy stores and hobby shops were where I would go and dream of all the fun I could have for the price of a months allowance.
