Getting to Know Me: ABC

By way of naudiz

( A-Z of me, sort of... )

Yup, insomnia struck again this week; night before last I didn't sleep at all, so after work yesterday I came home, checked a few things, made a few phone calls, then went to sleep. Woke up at 4am. I never wake up early, not getting to sleep is one thing, waking up early just doesn't happen. So I've got a long day, parties this evening, a sleep on the sofa job, then I'm at work tomorrow. Great.

Oh my. Firefox goodness and web tricks

Old news to some, but to others, the wonders that is a decent internet browser (ie pretty much anything that isn't made by Microsoft) is still lost on them. So, reading devils_kitchen this morning, I come across this post linking to his company's homepage. Now, I know that Microsoft's default internet browser is crappy, but do you?

Here's a good reason. Go to his homepage, and hover the mouse over the 'start' button at the top right. Now, if you're using IE, that's just a link to his home. If you're using, for example, firefox, then, using nothing more complicated than a Cascading Style Sheet (something that is simple enough for me to understand and read, even if I can't (yet) code it), you get a full drop-down site map. How cool is that? In Internet Explorer or other crappy browser platforms, you don't get any of the coolness.

So, if you're still using IE, why not get a free copy of Firefox and give money to a good cause? (NB, disclaimer here, giving the money to a good cause involves using the Google version of Firefox, which some people, notably daweaver think is a bad plan) To get it, go here to timworstall's site, and follow the links. Google gives money for every time a person DLs Firefox and uses is once. That's all you have to do, try it.

If you'd rather try a different browser but not trust Mr Google, then there's a decent summary of them on Too Cool for IE. OK, it's midday, there are twelve hours (and one second) left in 2005. I may do a proper 'my life' update before I leave to go out. May. Don't hold your breath ;-)
