Yeah, I've been indisposed the last few days. There's been too much shit going on that I would as soon not have to deal with, but couldn't avoid it. Plus, I've been engaged in editing my novel. Plus, it's been miserably hot.
Finally, I decide to do a post, and I turn to my Scribefire, type the post, and get ready to include a link, when what to my wandering eye should appear but, no fucking link icon.
See, I have this theory. People that work at these jobs for these people that make these browsers are always expected to "do something". Otherwise, they can't justify their paychecks. So, they tinker. And, they tinker, And, they tinker some more. Almost half of the time they spend tinkering is unnecessary, but tinker they must, and far too often, it adds up to something ending up badly fucked up.
Well, I'm dropping Scribefire. Justify that, pricks.
By the way, if you really want to drive Firefox crazy, and probably every other advertising driven site as well, download a little add-on called Propel. You'll have to Google it, because the homepage is blocked, even though I originally got it as a Firefox extension. I also have it through my local isp. If you are on dial-up, it is indispensable. I'm not sure whether it works on anything besides that, or even if it would be necessary, but it's great for dial-up. I think it works by filtering your pages through their site, much like Macros. Well, not nearly that fast, but Macros is a pain in the ass, which is a whole other story.
Firefox no longer offers Propel, and in fact discourages it, in fact, because it "doesn't offer secure updates", or some such drivel. Translation-their fucking advertisers don't like it because you can block their fucking ads and pop-ups.
Anyway, hopefully I'll have something worthwhile to blog about here in a day or two.

You could blog about that article I sent you.
I read it, but don't know quite what to make of it. All that drama over a stain in the seat?
Yeah, well sometimes you have such a way with words that I was curious as to what you'd say with it.
I always knew that something would take the Osteens down. I'm a little bummed, though that it's a catfight with some ghetto-attitude flight attendant and not something more- like infidelity, homosexuality, theft, etc.
I don't really even know anything about them, but I doubt this will bring them down.
Thanks, that's really comforting.
