Hey. New board.

Chrome has a pretty nice "Recently Closed Tabs" extension. Obviously you have to think ahead in order for that do you any good.

The "reopen closed tab" option on Chrome does seem to have a significant history. I was able to reopen the most recently closed ten tabs just now, though I wasn't able to see a list of them or anything and choose from that list.

ETA: IE does have a "reopen closed tab" option! You just need to right-click on another tab and it's there. Keyboard shortcut ctrl-shift-t. Works exactly like the Chrome one - reopens the most recently closed tab.

Hey. New board.

You can also open a new tab, and on the New Tab page that shows up there is a dropdown menu at the bottom that lets you choose from a list of recently closed tabs.

The interface in chrome is exactly the same. I don't know who's copying who, but this is definitely some UI aping going on. I still think Firefox does it better than either, but the capability is there.

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

In Opera I usually just CTRL Z until I get to the page I wanted. Its history hasn't left me high and dry yet--it goes back to the start of the browsing session, as far as I can work out.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

For just daily opening, you can use the Morning Coffee plugin (which, admittedly, I'm using on Firefox, dunno the other availability) which lets you click it and open up all the tabs you said you'd want open on that day of the week.

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

Apple keynote: iCloud keychain, FUCK YEAH!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm mostly following the keynote via John Scalzi's Twitter feed, and it's hilarious.

Does anyone know of webmail hosting services? If I have a domain that I'd like to just use email on and provide email addresses to other people, is there anything optimised for that? Or would it just be the lowest traditional tier of hosting and introduce people to the joys of SquirrelMail or Round Cube or whatever?

It means I don't have to pay an extra $40.00 for 1Password on OS X and iOS.
