It is raining very, very, very hard. All thumpity-thumpity on the roof. And I am in bed. Very cosy.
Also, I just upgraded from firefox 1.0 PR to 1.0 and can finally actually install tabbrowser preferences. Yay! So this meant that I actually, um, stopped mostly using 0.8, which I was clinging to because I had customized it all so purty. I have now done much customizing, which is a goodness, even though I have not yet been able to find the alt-up extension or the click-to-view-flash extension for 1.0, which irritates me. The first let you hit alt-up to go up a level in a directory, which you do all the time because of dead links or people who don't bother to include links to home on every page. And the second lets you make flash animations click-to-view, which vastly improves my browsing experience, because I hate flash ads and flash intros when I don't want to see them. Also, I liked the firebird 0.5-0.8 options menus so much more, because there were tons more options, and I didn't have to futz around for ages trying to find everything I was looking for. (BTW: mozdev? Putting the easily-summed-up "prompt before accepting a cookie" that I was looking for under the option "keep cookies?" and phrasing it as the bland "ask every time" -- grrrr. I miss my old options menu.) I do approve of the option to import cookies from old browsers, but why in heaven they include only IE as an option -- what, because I'm already converted, so I should do it the hard way? Yeeesh.
Also,
mlechan, what's your schedule like for the hanging out? And for the San Franciscoing? And is anyone else in the area free between now and Tuesday night?
Also, many things happened when we visited Seattle, most of which
m_shell has talked about. I'm too lazy to do it myself.
