L. sent me a link this morning to a screencap of some browser benchmarks that he’d done, then to the site where he’d done them. Of course, I was curious (he knew that would happen), so I ran tests on all of the browsers I have installed on my ageing desktop. By far the fastest […]

I don’t fuss with my hair. There was a time when I did, but I was in my 20s then, so what did I know? It’s still curly because that’s how I was born, and it’s still long because that makes gravity do most of the work of controlling The ‘Fro. I wash it when […]

Aw, not this shit again! I think it was last…September or October of last year before our sites got hit with that stupid injected code, but I know there were people getting hit with it as far back as August. AFAIK, it’s not exactly “malicious”, as in “will email goatse to your boss, cause your […]

A sunny Friday when it’s just a bit too cold to want to roam outside, but the only real “work” I have to do today is a few water changes and fixing the space bar on a laptop that’s popped its clip. I’m sitting here at my desk, looking across the room at my laptop, […]

First Firefox, then Safari, and now Epiphany. I was looking through the Gnome 2.2.6 release notes, since I think that’s what’s going to be in Jaunty when it’s released next month, and found this: Imagine my joy. What’s next–a “not so awesome” bar in Lynx, FFS? Hell, for all I know, IE 8 has something […]

Go home, you old bastard. I want the windows open because it’s beautiful outside, I love to hear the birds, and besides, open windows make the cat STFU, but that doesn’t mean I want them open with you spending half your time roaming under the windows of one side of the house, and the other […]

Well, it’s early spring once again, and maybe this year, I’ll actually get around to doing it. “It” would be a wildflower garden. Just a small one for now–enough to attract a few insects, hopefully including butterflies–but I think this might actually be the year! I considered it in 2007, but decided it was probably […]

No joy yet in getting Safari to run under Wine on Ubuntu, but I think I’m getting somewhere because it does at least try to start, which it didn’t with a default install. I’ll have to poke around a bit and maybe copy some of the folders from my Windows install to the .wine folder; […]

Well, I think it will be, at least. I was wrong about my day–it did get better. Last night, I fell asleep watching Mythbusters. Woke up at 0100h with a headache so bad I couldn’t even lift my head, let alone get up. Fell back to sleep until 0200h, woke up again and my head […]

I really want to like the Safari 4 beta for Windows–I do! L. told me about it one time when I was bitching about FF on Windows (which, in my defence, does take forever to start on XP, especially since I use it so seldom and it’s always got four thousand updates to do), and […]
