Coding and Sleeping

Chrome and Firefox 4 have become somewhat interchangeable for me. I like the higher level of control Firefox gives you over the browser, but I really like the way you can use URLs and Searches in the same place instead of two different places. Not that the Firefox way is some huge burden though.

IE 9 is a huge improvement, but setting it up with useful extensions seems like such a PITA compared to the other browsers.

I suspect once Firefox 4 is released that'll be my go-to browser. Chrome is still great, though.

hip deep in pie

I switched to Chrome on my netbook because the little processor in there was really burdened by Firefox and my love of multiple tabs. It's amazing the difference in speed, but I do miss some of the functionality of Firefox.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

This laptop came with chrome as its default browser instead of ie. So I used it like I do ie, to download firefox. But I'm cranky at the new tabs in this version of firefox, because when I click a link to open a new tab, it opens in a tab right next to my current one, instead of at the end. I prefer it at the end, because I like to go through the tabs chronologically, left to right. I'm not really looking at the titles. But now I have to, and I don't remember which ones I clicked when, and I can't see where to change it and it's annoying.

This is vaguely tech-related: anyone have a favorite website or method for last minute travel deals? My travel for next week just got canceled, and while normally id be fine, this weeks was also canceled, so I may take vacation...if I can find somewhere to go.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

...and are you coming to NYC?

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I haz my iPhone and have just finished updating my contacts.

So far I have to put it on speaker to hear any calls - not sure if I'm missing something.

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

Suzi, you shouldn't need to do that. Turn your volume up and hold it to your head.

Jessica, from the omni bar, hit command+enter (on a mac). That should kick your results to a new tab. I just discovered this.
