  • Half my extensions are busted. TargetAlert, Flashblock, SessionSaver... those are the three most important disabled ones right now. Fortunately, it appears I no longer need SlashFix or Tab Mix (try dragging the tabs around).

SessionSaver ".2d1 nightly 30" works on the recent Firefox betas/nightlies. I believe this is the new home page.

(This extension's history is a study in chaotic development; several forks with the same name, appended version numbers, different authors, patches, posted across a bunch of web forums containing hundreds of complaints and comments. You have to wonder why they didn't just create a wiki page somewhere, or at least a web page on some free hosting service, and tie the damn threads together.)

But because not all customers will take advantage of the offer, McDonald's actual spending on the campaign will probably be in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Something tells me that Apple will find a way to make the 1 billion from McDonalds even if people don't take advantage of the offer.

Journal Journal: Bringing a little taste of Louisiana to the midwest... 1

I've been out of town for a long weekend, helping my hubby host a shrimp boil for some clients in the midwest.

We shipped 75 pounds of jumbo shrimp up to Milwaukee. That's 3 pots worth - large, outdoor pots that hold about 25 pounds of shrimp each, on propane burners.

Journal Journal: Have a Sneaker-Napster Christmas 4

The music industry is hoping that some big hits in the last quarter will help them salvage what has been a disastrous year for sales. They are counting on the Christmas season to take them home for the holidays, back to the good old days when they had the customer, who only wanted one favorite song, by the short hairs.

Journal Journal: Transcendental Karma 2

From the Slashdot FAQ: "Karma used to be a number, now it is a word, this sucks!"

Good grief. It's karma, not your "Interpolated Parabolic Interest Metric." Can you for one minute pretend like you are not an engineer?

Journal Journal: Musings of a new Slash-daughter 1

Some observations after participating on Slashdot for 4 days, after years of reading an occasional article someone sent me a link to...

First, it's a hoot. I've laughed more in any single half hour reading Slashdot comments than during any TV sitcom of the last 10 years. Who are these people? I get the impression they are mostly younger than me. Wait, that's true just about everywhere... Also mostly way smarter than me. Wait...

Journal Journal: Luddite lugs 4

What is it with people who are proud of not using computers? "I don't do email," they smugly announce. People who can't read are ashamed for anyone to know it, but people who don't compute glibly broadcast it to the world as though it's an accomplishment.
