A couple of days ago I wrote about using Sage-Too in Firefox 3.5, which has had a rocketing number of hits over the last couple of days. Nice to know that other people share my taste for the simple plugins in life.
I was going to package up the existing Sage-Too .xpi, but while following the discussion around the net I noticed that Sage-Too has been replaced by Sage++ that runs on 3.5, which as far as I can tell is by one of the Sage-Too authors, Higgmer.
I’ve had it installed for the day or so since I found it, and I can report that it’s working perfectly. So, for everyone that’s been looking here for a decent RSS reader again, it’s a pleasure to send you over there to Higgmer.
Get Sage++ (Higgmer’s Edition) (Click “Switch To English” at the top-right, then installation instructions are halfway down)
So, I upgraded to Firefox 3.5 RC3 today. I was disappointed (though not at all surprised) to see that my second-favourite add-on (after the essential Oldbar) had stopped working. The Sage-Too Firefox RSS Reader extension is packaged to run with 3.0b5 to 3.0.*, it seems.
The good news is that manually repackaging the plugin and reinstalling it with 3.5 does work fine. As far as I can see the project is orphaned – a real shame in my opinion – so if anyone’s interested in a copy, leave a comment here and I’ll whack a page up with instructions (and perhaps even a copy if I can make sure the authors won’t mind.)
So then, here’s the reveal – here’s what I’ve been working on over the past months and now has been officially launched by none other than Richard Branson himself in New York.
A quick announcement to mention that Hardcore Energy 5 will be out soon on Hardcore Lives! Records, with some sleeve-y goodness by yours truly created some evening when I miraculously found I had some free time.
I’m currently hacking away under a great big pile of work, so haven’t really been around to post anything (or queue up anything to post to give the illusion that I’m sitting here 24/7).
