It’s been about a week since I set my default web browser to Opera. I can certainly see why some people prefer this browser over others, but for me it’s been a somewhat frustrating experience. Is that due to “growing pains”, or is it something else?
As I mentioned in the original post, my [...]

I’ve made the big browser switch - sort of - but this time from Firefox to Opera.
Unfortunately there are web sites that don’t render correctly in Opera, and I plan on continuing to use Firefox either way. I also am not very comfortable with some aspects of Opera’s user interface… so why switch at [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day, here’s a ghost photo!
I like topics that are strange and weird. There’s no secret about that, heck, this blog used to be dedicated to those subjects. That’s partially where the name came from.

I went all weekend with not receiving messages from people before [...]

This was incredible, and is the first time that I’ve seen Firefox using so much system memory.
The browser locked up when I opened the second - yes, only the second - tab to check my GMail. Actually, I’ve been getting spammed in GMail lately and I was logging in to flag the mail as [...]

The latest version of Google Desktop Search has a feature that allows a person to transfer files from one computer to another, but this feature comes at a price that has become all too familiar with Google: Privacy.
It seems anymore that almost every post that I write about Google is negative. It’s not [...]

I received an invitation code to CoComment yesterday and have signed up for their service. This means that I’ll share a good deal of information about it as soon as I’ve become familiar with the CoComment features. Assuming that sharing the information is alright with the CoComment folks, that is.
If so, [...]

It’s probably safe to say that most of us are aware of the NGE that has essentially destroyed Star Wars Galaxies. There has been a lot of talk on gaming sites about how drastically the population on this MMORPG’s servers have dwindled. Many have speculated that server pops were merely in the hundreds.
