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
Hmmm... Having the same problem. Haircut + Buses + Rain.... *sigh*...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the FF patch.
ReplyDeleteBTW why do you think it is the greatest browser?
Hv u tried opera or safari?
@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
ReplyDelete@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! :)
Oh tks.. Earlier link also had some instructions to mitigate the effect..
ReplyDeleteI have read abouit these Acid tests to check browser performance..Seem to Safari and Opera done well although they are not so popular
@Kirigalpoththa: Yeah, but turning off java script is going to make browsing a pain... :)
ReplyDeleteYes, 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...
On your way back buy some soap and walk.
ReplyDeleteoh thk god u got a hair cut... was wondering why all the birds were flying in with twigs and stuff :D someone sounds borreddd!! =D
ReplyDelete@Sach: Actually that would've been a pretty good idea... the rains are unbelievable! hehe :D
ReplyDelete@TSC: hey TSC!!! :D long long time no see!!! I left a comment on your blog aaaages ago but you hadn't logged in after that... :( I guess you're very very busy these days huh? :)
aaaand as for the birds, my relatives were kinda saying the same thing sometime back! :D told me that it looked like a crow nest! :D and I am very very bored!!! :(
Thanks for the comments guys! :)
Haircuts are bad enough.
ReplyDeleteHaircuts when it's raining is MEAN!

@SWEC: it izzzzzzz!!! :D I miss having a furry coat of hair to run my fingers through when I'm stressed... now all I get are jolts of electricity at the back of my neck! ;)

@Harumi: I went to brush my teeth in the morning and I almost screamed!!! :D also: It was very cold last night and I missed having my furry insulating hair-cover! ;)
ReplyDeleteNope, Firefox 3.0 doesn't have this problem AFAIK... :)

@Lady D: I got it in the morning when it stopped raining for a bit.... :)
@Maks: Yep it issss!!! :D Man, I think I wanna adopt Hannelore!!! ;) :D
Yep I love the rain too... hate it when it's sweltering hot... :) Hope it doesn't rain much in August though, August is kite-flying season! :D well, I was gonna take the bus, and was walking upto the junction when I saw my grandfather going in his van... he was going to get a haircut too so I tagged along and I got a free lift... :D so cool scene! :)
Thanks for the comments guys! :)
Yes agree. That test is only for web standards compliance and not overall performance..Tks.
ReplyDelete@Kirigalpoththa: you're welcome! :) Hey, btw, Mozilla have released the first patch for Firefox 3.5, and it fixes the problem... Just click 'Check for Updates' in the Help menu in Firefox... :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Comment K!

ReplyDeletesame 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
