Let's hear it!

I've been convinced to try the special OSX version of Firefox though. 

Say wha?

No, not so.  Firefox takes 10 seconds or more to start up on my MBP.

Found your problem! Firefox takes about one seconds to load on windows on my desktop or linux on my laptop. I've never noticed any speed difference using chrome, so I've never really understood why people like it :(

Haha.  Firefox is slower on Linux too.  I don't think it's my machine... I have 4GB RAM and a Core2 Quad...

I'll admit that the speed differential is a lot smaller on other platforms I've used both on, though.  Maybe it's just psychological, but it definitely feels like Firefox is more clunky regardless of the platform on which I use it.

I'm pretty sure there are laws against writing code as ugly as that.

I ordered a nVidia GeForce 460.  It's going to be awesome :D

I got a faux hawk. Damn I'm sexy!

(I like it because if I do nothing, it's just normal like it always is -- no special cut, just special styling. Woo!)

Early this week some guy in my office building (3 floors below me) shot himself. Cops & Forensics were everywhere and the building was locked down for a while. Pretty crazy stuff.

I am bored out of my mind at work...

Also, my new case (Antec 902) arrived, yay!  I want to go home and play with it.

I wonder how hard it would be to write a Cocoa app to give me audio notification whenever my internet connection becomes available or unavailable, for situations such as a stormy night.

Rest of my rig arrived!  Sans HDD and video card.  Those will be ordered in 2 weeks :D

Awesome. So can run live Linux. :)

GRRRRRRRRRR.  @#$^ing worst timing.

So I was scheduled to have my LASIK performed next Thursday up in Annapolis, so last night I booked a hotel room for a night since I have to go for a follow-up early the next morning and don't feel like waking up and driving 1.5 hours for the checkup.

However, I got a stupid ass call today telling me that my appointment would have to be rescheduled because the particular laser they're using on me isn't available at the Annapolis LasikPLUS center.  OK... normally something like this wouldn't fucking piss me off, but the fact that I booked a damn hotel room last night at a rate that is non-refundable and non-transferrable, and they call me the day after I book it to tell me that I just wasted money on a hotel room... grrrr.  Plus they should have fucking told me this before, it's something they should have already fucking known months ago.  Now I have to go all the way up to Towson, MD, north of Baltimore next Saturday instead.  Even longer of a drive.  And now I have to make another damn reservation for a hotel room close to this other place.

Ok, I am kind of blowing this all out of proportion, as I got them to reduce my surgery by the amount that I'm losing because of their screw up, still fucking pisses me off inside.  Makes me want to just wait even more till the last minute to book hotel reservations for something like this.
