All is well that ends in pizza.

My Safari just upgraded to 4.0.

Hmmm.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Daniel, I actually like it, except for the relocation of the refresh button. I get a HUGE kick out of the "Show Top Sites" grid. Mine are very predictable (b.org, LiveJournal, Lolcats, the Cincinnati Library, etc.).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Opera keeps crashing on me. I may be switching to Safari instead. Putting up with Opera is just silly. But I have loved it for years.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Currently I'm Firefox's bitch -- it's all those themes and handy addons that have me flopping over and baring my throat.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I agree. apparently 3.5 is awesome with its features, but I'm not diving in until I'm sure it is stable and has all the add-ons I want.

Opera on Vista is stable, but Vista keeps crashing on me. Leopard is staying up for long periods, but Opera just can't. I can't win.

The add-ons and themes irritate me. Opera never needed those for me. It did everything I wanted, and I never had to go looking and gluing things on to make it better.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Isn't there a new Opera coming out in a few days?

eta: And then there's this Opera mystery: Next Week, Opera Claims It Will “Reinvent The Web”

We’ve heard the phrase ‘reinventing the web’ too many times already, so we’re wary of Opera’s claims, but this made us curious anyhow. The browser maker has just unveiled Opera 10 in beta, so it could be taking the wraps off the product and taking it public rather quickly. Or it could be something entirely different.

Opera users don’t seem to know what’s going on either.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

heh. the add-ons are just awesome though. it isn't like firefox is crippled without them, but with them, I can clip text to my Evernote account (for example), search for duplicate bookmarks, duplicate tabs (or detach them or consolidate windows), automatically reload certain web pages at differential times, sync bookmarks across computers and to the web.

I was using the beta and it started crashing every few minutes instead of every hour or so. I'm not optimistic.

But they're about to reinvent the Web! (see my edit)

I'm reinventing the Web right now AIFG!

I'm reinventing the Web... in my pants!
