One thing I noticed about Firebird is that it seems like a lot more sites are using favicons!
I guess the full Mozilla just can’t handle all of the favicons that it comes across, so it just doesn’t display them. But man, Firebird takes it like a champ! Almost every site I visit now has their own little icon next to their URL.
They’re not cached, which seems lame, but it’s a start!
I’ve had this persistent cold/cough/congestion for the last two weeks or so. I could see the light at the end of the tunnel last Friday, but suffered a total relapse over the weekend. I think the 3:30 AM bedtime on Monday and the stress of a colicing horse was all it took to push me over the edge.
I took a half-day yesterday for reasons unrelated, and by the time I got home yesterday I could tell my condition was only going from bad to worse.
That’s when I realized that my only hope was to take the coward’s way out. That’s right. I saw a doctor.
Anyway, now I’ve got some drugs and I’ll probably be back in to work either tomorrow or Friday, depending on how fast the Azithromycin kicks in.
In the meantime, I’m really bored. I’ve depleted my Tivo’s collection of pre-recorded programming, I’ve beat Zelda, and all of my computer games are at the house in Anaheim. It’s a rough life, I tell you.
Thanks to Nick who sends along this tip for disabling smooth scrolling in Firebird:
Type about:config into the address bar and go to the general.smoothScroll item. Double click it and put in false for the value.
Well so last night Nutmeg coliced. Tammy noticed something wasn’t right when she wwnt to go take care of her last night.
She called me, I drove over to see them, and then we called the on-call vet around midnight. Anyway, we didn’t leave the barn until about 3:30 this morning. I’m taking a half day at work today, but I should have taken the whole day. I’m exhausted.
I was really happy to hear that Dumb and Dumber was getting a sequel. That happiness quickly turned to disappointment when I learned that the sequel would actually be a prequel, and none of the original cast could be returning.
The two guys they cast as Harry and Lloyd really do an amazing job of mimicing the real Harry and Lloyd, but come on. The trailer looked decent, but I don’t know.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Someday I will be a banjo master.
Buying your first banjo can be confusing, and learning to play it can be hard, particularly since so few people know how to play one. Luckily I stumbled upon BanjoHangout.org, your source for all things banjopic. Some good reading in there!
Ebay actually has a whole banjo category, but the prices there aren’t that good. ‘The Hangout’ suggests not spending less than $250 for a decent model, and that’s more than I’ve got.
The Matrix Reloaded didn’t start to get interesting to me until the Oracle showed up.
The whole point of the movie is really explained in Neo’s chat with the Architect (also interesting,) but it was kind of a short discussion and it went by pretty fast. Here’s the transcript of the chat they had so that you can go back and review.
You remember when all of those other Neos were on the TV screens in the background during their discussion? And how they were all saying different things? Well I thought that those were just projections of all of the conflicting feelings and emotions running through Neo’s head. This transcript suggests that those were just recordings of previous Ones. Why they all looked like this One (Neo) eludes me, but that seems to be the case.
Yesterday I made the switch from Mozilla to Firebird. Firebird is kind of like a slimmed-down much faster version of Mozilla and its settings put an emphasis on privacy and security.
It seems okay so far. One thing I hate about Firebird is that it apparently has IE’s “smooth scrolling” feature built into it, and there’s no way to turn it off. Other than that, it seems pretty zippy and good and all that.
Triton Labs, maker of the popular Afterburner, has just announced their next product.
Get ready for this – the Stealth Link acts like a wireless link cable. Booyah.
