The Fat Lady Has Sung?
According to this CNET article, there may not be another Opera for the Mac. Why? They claim because Apple is crowding them out with Safari. Sorry, guys. Your version of Opera for the Macintosh was mediocre at best. With a 2.6 rating on version tracker, this sour milk gripe just makes me even less likely… Continue reading The Fat Lady Has Sung?

Safari has no undo for text operations (typing/paste/cut/copy) in form fields, or anywhere for that matter. I hope this is on the list. 🙂

Alright! I have art!
Ok so it is not really “art” but considering how much I love Disneyland, I finally got my posters I bought at the park dry mounted and hung. No frames yet (too costly) but they still look good! see for yourself Now I have a Pirates and Haunted Mansion left to hang, but no idea… Continue reading Alright! I have art!

Gates to Ballmer, “Houston, we have a problem”
Don’t mess with Texas Microsoft bullies people into paying large contracts or face audits. Houston gives MS the finger. MS comes in at last minute whining they were not part of the bidding process. Bidding process? You expect to bully people and then negotiate? haha. Yao Ming – 1, Gates – 0

This story is pretty interesting – those of you who use Quark, comments please?
LOL
One of the great things about exploring who I am, what I feel and not being made to feel ashamed for my thoughts is that I am expressing myself more and getting some pretty interesting, useful and often funny feedback. On geekculture.com, I posted in reply to a thread titled “sappy sappy romance” which was… Continue reading LOL
Safari helps find a bug…
After looking at my site with Safari, my web counter was wrong (visually and numerically) Today I spent some time looking into this and found that the pipes (vertical bars) my ISP was generating for the IMG tag are not valid inside of a URI. A few hours later of dorking around with other scripts,… Continue reading Safari helps find a bug…
Apple acknowledges Keynote kernel panics
In this kbase note, Apple recognizes the kernel panic, and I was right, it is related to ATI! Damn ATI – It is obvious that Steve uses nVidia based Macs!
I actually found a use for iPhoto
A friend was sending me full sized photos, and I was trying to explain how to use Graphic Converter to scale, but don’t save, be sure to save as, on the desktop, then drag into mail, blah blah blah. Recipe for disaster heh. Then I saw iPhoto has a Share via Mail function, which is… Continue reading I actually found a use for iPhoto
Patents Gone Wild
SBC Communications sent this letter to protect it’s “links on left side of page that navigate within frames” patent violation error. What a crock! I am glad I moved my links to the top. Sheesh. What is next people???
I’ve made the switch to Safari
I’ve made the switch to Safari Why? Surprised me. I hate the Mozilla/Chimera history. I have never understood that, and Safari keeps a very good history, searchable, etc. Also, now that Chimera supports the ability for a site to not have Chimera cache a password (which I understand why they had to do it, or… Continue reading I’ve made the switch to Safari
Retracting
Sometimes you have to wonder why you have the people in your life you do, or maybe not enough of them. Why you spend so much time alone, why you feel so selfish, why you don’t care enough, when you do but when it comes time to show you, you retract. Sometimes you wonder why… Continue reading Retracting
