Oww.

Three more holes in my head.

Yay.

I’m currently testing out Mozilla Milestone 17, and I must say: download it and try it now.

This release proves that Mozilla has finally reached a level of stability that competes with IE, and I’m truly impressed. I’d installed Mozilla M15 a while back, and promply uninstalled it about five minutes later.

What I like about Mozilla:

• It’s fast. No, I mean, it’s very fast. Pages load considerably faster in M17 than in IE5.5 .
  • It’s small, weighing in at about six megs.
    • It has full PNG graphics support, including transparency.
      • The security and privacy features are wonderful! Mozilla allows you to disable cookies completely, or allow them to be set, providing they are only sent back to the originating server. Furthermore, Mozilla allows this same amount of control over images. This means that you can disable all images that aren’t stored on the website you’re currently viewing, such as banner ads. Furthermore, you can control this on a per-site basis, from the “Tasks -> Security and Privacy” menu.
        • Mozilla is skinnable. You can change the interface whenever you want.
          • When you view a page’s source, it shows it in pretty color-coded text.

Conversation overheard in my house:

Rod: Kevin, we’re gonna drag you out of this house!
Kevin: Why! I leave the house all the time!
Rod: When was the last time?
Kevin: Like, …. yesterday!

And there was a great disturbance in the Force: Actor Sir Alec Guinness dies at 86 – August 6, 2000. Obi Wan was my favorite. How sad.

Register to vote, you apathetic pigs.

I love explodingdog. I love it so much that I gave it a hallowed spot in the Sacred Box O’ Comix. Go there now.

I’ve been informed that some of you heathens don’t know who Curve is. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

The first thing I suggest you do is go to UBL and purchase “Doppelganger,” “Cuckoo“, and “Come Clean“. Once you’ve paid your dues, put “Doppelganger” into the largest stereo system you can find — I suggest going to Best Buy or Palm Audio/Visual (in Huntsville). Turn the volume all the way up, and press “Play”.

Some people didn’t believe me when I said that BSD is far cooler than Linux. Now I have proof.

“If you are not a BSD or Linux user, then this one will be easy. Just take our word for it that the truely el33t use BSD and not Linux. If you’re a Linux user, you have to access that place deep deep down. You know where I’m talking about, that one little place in your heart that you don’t talk about at parties. The place where those doubts about yourself creep in, where you feel (secretly) that FreeBSD and OpenBSD are too intimidating, so you use Linux. You have to access that part and feel deep down inside that BSD is in fact technically superior to Linux. Even just a little bit. And you don’t have to tell anyone.“

A conversation online:

Daniel: Hehe
Daniel: I just trashed Hawaii.
Unxmaal: Howso?
Daniel: Hurricane Daniel
Unxmaal: Oh really?
Daniel: Yea.
Daniel: I got downgraded to a tropical storm and missed the main island, but… I was tossing seamen all over the place.

Ahh, more updates: As some of you have noticed, I’ve gotten rid of nasty underlines in the link boxes. I’ve also created an easy way to get to Archives, over on the left side. Also, I’ve noticed that this page looks like absolute crap in Netscape 4.x . For those *NIX users, I suggest downloading Opera or Mozilla. You get what you pay for.
