Where Oh Where Have They Gone

Two of my favorite podcasts, The Warp Zone and The Hippie Killers, have stopped producing shows. The last show from the Zone was in March and we haven't heard from the Hippie Killers since April. Please come back. Why have you stopped?

FoxyTunes Test

I just upgraded my FoxyTunes add-on and it now offers signatures to webmail and blogging services. Thought I'd give it a spin.

Update: It didn't work at first, but now it is.
