Serial. Should have food to put in there, might explain hunger.

Anyhoo. So I'm playing with the new Firefox. 2 things already. 1) When I loaded the Message Center, it popped up something about firefox stopped this page from automatically reloading, then there was an "allow" button. Naturally I clicked it. Which made it do it again. Seems a bit crazy. Where would I find the allow these sites to reload as needed settings?

2) They hype this location-aware thing, which would be great for maps. I love that feature on the iPhone. For the life of me, I can't find where to enable that? Any thoughts?

eta as for #2, I found if you do a "Get Info" on a page, in the Permissions tab, at the bottom, there is a "Share Location" with the options "Always ask" "Allow" and "Block". Even in ALLOW mode, google maps doesn't have a button saying "from where you are". I'm guessing that's code that still needs to be written. I was hoping since the video showed a Google map doing it, that it was implemented.

ETA again OK, so I found why Message Center was doing that reload warning. Apparently I checked in preferences "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page". Unchecking that stops the annoying thing for the Buffista site. I wish "allow" would remember that *THIS* site it's ok to do that.

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

Is there any way in Skype to make yourself only visible to your contacts or people who search for you via your email addresses? I'm tiring of the spambots.

Forget it. Just had to trick the iPod.

So I must be a masochist or something. I have double backed up my laptop and blown away the hard drive, to reinstall OS X. I clearly enjoy watching progress bars.

Time remaining on the install: about an hour. Then the system update to 10.4, then ProTools. Everything else can wait for later.

Our wings are not tired

So you will hopefully have ProTools later today for tech?

Yep. That's the intent.
