Chrrch v0.5a Release Information
Hello everyone,
This is to announce that we plan to release v0.5a of Chrrch within the next 2 weeks.
The release contains several bug fixes, security enhancements, and minor functionality improvements as requested by the existing churches that are using the system.
We consider this a minor release but definitely much needed.
More details on the release to come once the final commits are in from the developers.

iTunes 8 / HDMI / XPS M1530 Problems anyone?
Well, I have been using the HDMI out on my Dell XPS M1530 for awhile now to my HD tv and it's worked fine until 2 days ago when I had to install an updated iTunes version that would allow for watching HD content. Once I did that now I'm getting a flickering and the TV keeps saying "NO SIGNAL" like it's connecting and disconnecting from the laptop.
I did a restore point for like a week ago and now it's fixed again. I'm curious if anyone has had this issue?

Why I cannot switch to Google Chrome from FF3
Posted on September 5, 2008, under Firefox, General, Google Chrome.
You can't beat the facts, the javascript engine in Google Chrome is by far faster than any other browser however the features and capabilities that firefox has is far greater than Chrome at this point.
You may say, well Google Chrome is suppose to be simple and feature free but I'll just list a couple of things that I think are worth mentioning.
The zoom feeature in Firefox 3 blows all other browsers out of the water. I press CTRL+Mousewheel up or down and the page zooms almost seemlessly without distorting the appearance of the page. Im' not sure how they do it but it's fantastic. It doesn't just enlarge text it some how knows how to increase everything in exact ratio.
All other browsers including Google Chrome have not mastered this piece yet.
Plugins - ell correct me if I'm wrong but I do not believe that Google Chrome has the plugin library and open source backing that Firefox has and all of the neat little widgets you can attach to Firefox. You can be slim with firefox l like Chrome is slim or you have the option to make Firefox how you want it.
Also, we have noticed a few minor things haven't worked in Chrome that work in EVERY other browser except safari(obviously since it's the same rendering engine).
Now I'm sure i'll probably get some hate comments and many of your Chrome fanatics will have solutions and answers to these things which trust me I would love it if you do so please inform me.
Btw, I do love Google Chrome - just not up for switching just yet. And if Mozilla releases that javascript engine that's faster than V8 I'll be sticking with Firefox for good.
Happy programming!
