Realization
This afternoon, while weeping at my desk, I asked god the following.
"God, please get me into a cool job that pays great that I enjoy."
Why the hell do I mention the "enjoy" thing last? I have a potential
choice coming up soon. It will be hard work, but it will be something
that I have an investment in. It will be something that I have a say
in. It will be something that means more than a paycheck to me. Will i
enjoy it? Will I make it work? Or, will I screw it up like most of the
other stuff in my life? Stay tuned.
Firefox Trouble
When you set Firefox to open new links in a new tab instead of a new
browser (Who the hell wants 900 browsers open at the same time?) you
get some funny results.
For example, When I open a new email in Gmail, it pops up in a window
with no menu or buttons displayed. I'm tapping my email away and think
"I sure would like to listen to some music while toiling away at this
correspondence." and I jump over to Radio Paradise
and click on the
"listen" button. That causes the little pop-up window counting my email
to load the page that loads the music feed.
"DAMN-IT!!" I exclaim. Which is something I would normally say in such
a situation.
I figure I just lost my whole email and I'm not too happy about it.
Which is something I would normally feel in such a situation.
I click on the "X" to close the window an the computer asks me "Do you
want to close all the open tabs?". ... "Open tabs?" I ask myself.
There are no tabs showing in the window. That doesn't mean they are not
there. I hit cancel and try the control-tab key and sure enough, there
is my email.
Now, this is one of those things you will never find on the internet.
This is a combination of cascading features also known as a
cluster-fuck. These things happen in all software. They happen in all
parts of life. There just isn't anything you can do about it, except
sit back and laugh. Then, sue someone and try to make a couple of bucks.
Happy surfing.
It wasn't me. You can't prove anything.
