GF and I are now opening a joint checking account with them. Anyone done that?

Yes. We were intrigued by the mortgage but it appeared to top out at some low amount, like $200K.

Henna disappointment: was a total PITA to apply and keep on my head, and no discernable difference. Sigh.

You Johnny-come-latelies. Poor Opera, never getting any love, having had tabbed browsing before Firefox got its cool name.

I use Firefox at work even though officially the company only supports IE -- fortunately, we have a wonderful local IT team who is more than happy to install Firefox for anyone who asks.

You Johnny-come-latelies.

Do I get points for being an ex-Opera user who has since switched to Firefox? Or am I doubly scorned for being a traitor?

Damn, it must suck to have a work computer where you don't have admin rights....

You, Jessica, are knowingly sinning.

I'm just pouty because whenever people are being choosy about what browsers they support, I get the short end of the stick. I use Firefox--I'm using it now, because Opera and CBS Innertube don't play nice.

But for standard browsing, like now, I always come back home.

GF and I are on computers watching old music videos. Now on? Unrest - Make Out Club!! Loves it!

Now on our 2nd live Breeders performance. GF rocks - she taped all of this shit back in the good old days (90s). Now we're transferring it all to DVD. Rock.

Do you have a video of The Breeders' appearance on Conan O'Brian?

It was awesome! They all attacked Conan and one gave him a hickie.

I tried Opera, long ago, but at the time it was "pay" or "have some annoying ads!" and my browsing needs were minor - I think we're talking early IE4 days, and I didn't have a computer of my own yet. The tabs were awesome, then, and I could see the future, but I felt no need to pay for it.

Then I was on Linux for a long time, which was the first OS to get browsers that copied Opera's tabs successfully, and never had a very good actual Opera version while I was using it. I've been using Firefox since it was called Phoenix (and maybe Firebird at some point? I've forgotten the deets) and before that I used a slate of linux-only browsers that used the Mozilla engine (Galleon was one whose name I recall). Firefox et al were an obvious choice on Linux because of the whole Open Source Unites! thing.

Then I switched to a Mac and used Firefox immediately because my other choice was IE (Safari wasn't out yet). Used it until Safari came out, and switched for a while. Then I discovered true love with Camino, and have had no need to look at other browsers since. I did download Opera for Mac once, recently, but wasn't too impressed. I might try it again, but for me, Camino is home now. I doubt I'll switch without truly compelling feature differences, which Opera isn't offering me anymore.

That story was way too long. Sorry. I feel geeky now. Especially since I just reread HP5 this weekend, in lieu of getting shit done.

OMG! I catch up in Bitches just at the right time! I think... I think!!! I think I may be the first to post...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KRISTINT

See, there are advantages to insomnia!
