Haiyooo

I was about to go out and get a haircut, but it just started raining and buses + rain are not my ideal combination at 9 in the morning... Buuuut, whatever.

I finished reading like 50% of Questionable Content (from 600-something to the latest) and I love it!!! You really don't know who's gonna grab Faye's boobs next do ya? ROFL! xD So, I've been kinda glued to the PC for the last 3 days and mum called me an addict and made a big fuss about it. And she leaves today and tells me to go get a haircut. In the rain! Now you get why I'm whining ya? :)

Watched the Star Trek movie yesterday and I think I'm gonna be a trekkie... Woohoo! :)

aaaaaaaaand Firefox 3.5 (the greatest browser ever btw) apparently has a big security hole so don't panic, just follow the instructions here to patch up for now... DO NOT UNINSTALL FIREFOX AS IT MAY BLOW UP YOUR COMPUTER!!!

bad joke? :S

  3. @Chatura: well I went and got it done... there's mud all over my back as I type this, going to get a good bath now... hehe :D

    @Kirigalpoththa: I think I put up the wrong link, I changed it... :)

    LOL, as for Firefox being the greatest, it was just an opinion, nothing scientific. I did try Google Chrome and IMO Firefox is better... I use the 'Firefox Preloader' to make it startup faster (I'd have to agree that Firefox is a pain when it takes so long to start-up)

    I haven't used Safari for a long time and the version I used was the first beta ever to be released for PC, and it crashed a lot, but I guess they've come a long way since then. Similarly the version of Opera I used was pretty old (8.something) and I guess they've also come a long way. I should check out these browsers too, but I heard that Firefox is the best when it comes to memory management, and this is important for me since I have a very small amount of RAM (512 MB) :)

    Thanks guys for the comments! :)

  4. Oh tks.. Earlier link also had some instructions to mitigate the effect..

    I have read abouit these Acid tests to check browser performance..Seem to Safari and Opera done well although they are not so popular

  5. @Kirigalpoththa: Yeah, but turning off java script is going to make browsing a pain... :)

    Yes, I tested out my browser and it got 92/100... which is pretty good, but Google Chrome gets 100/100 and so does Safari (since they both share the same rendering engine) but this is just a test of web standards compliance and not overall performance... :)

    Thanks for the comment K...

  18. @GG: adey, did you just call me a fart??? :D hahaha

    same situation for me (and most teenage guys I guess) 'cept that mom doesn't really mind, just dad... :) next experiment: see if I can grow a beard without the parents flipping out! :D hehe

    rain makes muddy roads... muddy roads makes wet slippers... wet slippers make me slip onto the road and get crushed by oncoming traffic... :D

    bottom-line: I need to get some non-slippery-slippers! ;) ;)

    Thanks for the comment GG! :)
