Just a quick post to tell you how to get hybridfox 1.7 (for connecting to AWS or eucalyptus/UEC clouds) working with the Firefox 5.0. Firstly download the 1.7 version of the plugin and save it to disk. This will give you an XPI file.
http://code.google.com/p/hybridfox/
Now rename the file you’ve downloaded from .xpi to .zip and then extract the .zip file. The file you need to edit is called install.rdf just open this file in you favourite text editor. You’re looking for a line that says:
<em:maxVersion>4.2</em:maxVersion>
and you need to change it to:
<em:maxVersion>5.*</em:maxVersion>
Now zip those files backup, and once done rename the .zip to .xpi. You should now be able to install hybridfox 1.7 in firefox by using the install from file method of adding a plugin.
Update!
Now Firefox 6 is due to land anytime soon I thought I’d update this post and let you know the same tweak can be done to make hybridfox work in Firefox 6. Just change the maxVersion to 6 of course!
<em:maxVersion>6.*</em:maxVersion>
Just for reference I’m using the hybridfox-1.7.000089.xpi version of the plugin.

NPM, the node.js package manager available for Ubuntu 10.10 in my PPA for easy install of node.js packages. Its available for both i386 and x64. The long term plan of the PPA is to offer nodester packages for easy deployment of node.js apps into a scalable environment.

I’ve just started putting together a PPA (personal package archive) for node.js. The ultimate aim of this PPA is to provide all the components for nodester which provides an opensource stack for quickly deploying node.js apps.
There is currently the latest version of node.js 0.4.1 in the repository. The next stage is to compile NPM to allow node.js modules to be installed easily. Finally I’ll start the work on a nodester package, so what this space!
To add my PPA on ubuntu run the following command:
add-apt-repository ppa:richarvey/nodester
