Exch - Version Change, Planned Updates
I posted Exch 1.3.0 for Firefox 3 Beta 1 to addons.mozilla.org. It has to be approved by the people that do the approving over these matters. 
Then people can get it updated via the normal channels within Firefox 3 Beta 1.
Changelog:
- Within install.rdf: Changed the contents from 2.0.0.* to 3.0b1 in the following tag:
<em:maxVersion>
- Within install.rdf: Changed the contents from 1.2.1 to 1.3.0 in the following tag:
<em:version>
Planned work for the future:
- Update the currencies in the Exch form to match those that are at finance.yahoo.com
- Review code and update where necessary
Planned work for the long term future unless otherwise necessary:
- Look into some sort of alternative data source for currency information, what if Yahoo stops .csv downloads?

Exch for Firefox 3.x
Todo for Exch:
- Update latest currency info from Yahoo!
- Test on Firefox 3 Beta 1
I just installed Firefox 3 Beta 1 on Linux. Looks nice… I wonder if many things will need updated for the extension to work… probably not.

Looking for Exch
I was looking around the net for ramblings of the currency addon I put together for Firefox. It is neat to see what other people say about it.

Mozilla Spaceunicorn
Well, I finally did it. The Firesomething Firefox extension hasn’t been updated for Firefox 1.5, and I was tired of my browser not being named something funny… especially since one of my friends on campus always says he uses Firemonkey to browse the web.
It’s for you Alan!
Install it here, and see what funny name your browser becomes! Firesomething for Firefox 1.5

A Currency Exchanger
I wrote a little program called Exch that simplfies currency exchange and the retrieval of up to date exchange rates.
If you are already using Firefox 1.5 extensively it integrates well as a sidebar.
- View a flash movie from the project site that shows visually how to install the extension in Firefox 1.5
- Install the Firefox 1.5 Extension
- -or- download the standalone desktop application for either Linux or Windows.
