Yes, this is my laptop memory usage before and after closing Firefox.
The memory leak has been considered a Firefox Feature instead of a bug by some of the Mozilla developers. I think there is still a long road ahead before we can enjoy a really fast and clean Firefox.
InternetDuctTape figured out a couple of tweaks to “temporarily solve” this issue. For those interested, you can read How to fix the Firefox memory leak with a couple of interesting hacks.

Update. It seems that the new XPCOM Cycle Collector on Firefox 3 partially solves the problem. How does it work?
The cycle collector spends most of its time accumulating (and forgetting about) pointers to XPCOM objects that might be involved in garbage cycles. Periodically the collector wakes up and examines any suspicious pointers that have been sitting in its buffer for a while. If the collector finds a group of objects that all refer back to one another, and establishes that the objects’ reference counts are all accounted for by internal pointers within the group, it considers that group cyclical garbage, which it then attempts to free.

Hi guys!
I recently found another web 2.0 application that it may seem quite silly in the beggining… but it’s worth a try. What is Twitter? Well, Twitter is a new site that provides real-time blogging with really short posts and a strong social network. It’s like a live diary for you to share with the world, or just with your friends.
Is it a new idea? Absolutely not. It doesn’t have any new technology at all. I think this website can be cloned in less than 24h with ruby on rails, excluding the CTO-side of the project to handle so many requests as they do. Then we need to find what makes this site special enough to be mentioned here.
Ok, if it’s not the technology, what makes Twitter so good? The social side of Twitter is very interesting. I have found really important people in there (Bill Clinton (Former US President), Joi Ito (THE internet man in Japan), Steve Jobs (Apple’s president) or even the guys from Adaptive Path (the fathers of AJAX…). In Spain, we have mini.d, fernand0 (Barrapunto) or even kirai blogging real-time. We love to know what people like that are doing, and so there is people always wondering what they would be up to. A Famous People Big’s Brother!!
I think blogs like Joi Ito, or even Martin Varsavsky (FON founder) are really popular because they give us a dream to look at. They live a life of private jets, talking with the most interesting people every day and always keeping positive and happy. Their blogs are a streamline of their lifes and this makes other people -who admire them- really have a motivation to do more things.
I set up an experiment in this blog, I’m going to post real-time bits of my life on the right-hand sidebar. Named Geekly as “Fer’s Core Dump”, I will try to keep you posted more often there. I’ve seen people posting just about their life, but I think it’s much better to share about things you like, music you just found or even spreading a bit of gossip from time to time
Now it’s your turn! What is the Twitter effect for you? Do you have any interesting use for Twitter? Do you think it’s just a waste of time? Are you going to tweet soon?
Written with the collaboration of Sprocket (testblog). Thanks!
Buenas a to2,
Me he dado cuenta que desde que empecé en internet, mi rechazo hacia Microsoft Internet Explorer ha sido una cosa inmutable en el tiempo. El primer navegador que tuve fue NCSA Mosaic, con un modem 14.4 cuando se acababa de crear ole.es y el buscador de facto aun era yahoo!.
De aquí pasamos a una nueva época, en donde el navegador predominante fue sin duda el Netscape: Su vistosidad y potencia eran claramente superiores a Internet explorer. Sin embargo, en Enero de 1998 Netscape anuncia que su navegador va a ser gratis, y que va a ofrecer el código fuente en internet. Esto provoca que miles de programadores en todo el mundo se unan en un proyecto comun: Mozilla.
Durante algun tiempo, al saber que Netscape iba a estar parado -y que IE no era demasiado seguro ni tenía muchas ventajas- decidí probar otro navegador: Opera. Yo no se cuántos de ustedes han probado Opera, pero la verdad es que es genial, es uno de esos programas que si los pruebas durante una semana, no dejas de usarlo nunca. En particular, me gustaría destacar algunas cosas que tiene Opera que me encantan:
Bueno, estas y otras razones son las que han hecho que me guste tanto el proyecto de Opera. Sin embargo, por algunas razones que me han metido algunos en el coco, prefiero seguir con un proyecto que aunque todavía se queda muy corto a su lado, no está nada mal.
Por otro lado, leo en DiarioTI, que el Presidente de Opera Software, Jon S. von Tetzchner, prometió que cruzaría a nado el Océano Atlántico, si la versión 8 del navegador Opera era descargada más de un millón de veces antes del sábado 23 de abril. Ese día, el contador de descargas en Opera marcó 1. 050.000.
Ahora sólo nos queda esperar a que el Señor Tetzchner pague su apuesta con los clientes y se nade unos pocos kilómetros entre Noruega y EEUU -dice él que parando en Islandia a tomar un café caliente donde vive su madre. En cualquier caso, creo que es una estrategia de marketing, así como de motivación para el equipo de Opera más que brillante: ¿A quién no le gustaría ver a su jefe nadando en aguas gélidas por una apuesta que ha perdido contra tu equipo? Aunque sea algo un poco más jocoso que real, ciertamente fue una manera de llamar la atención y conseguir la meta de 1M de descargas en 4 días … mucha suerte con esa nadada Jon!! Pueden seguir la aventura aqui.
Un saludo a to2,
FeR
