Here are a bunch of quick blurbs I thought might be of interest. Read the rest of this entry ...
My mother-in-law and sister-in-law were visiting for the weekend to celebrate the twins third birthday. My sister-in-law brought over a bunch of "Best of Muppet Show" DVDs
I've complained before about Firefox not supporting split view and encouraged readers to vote for Bug 231156. I just learned from the bug this morning that Firefox has a few extensions to give you this very thing. The one that I like the best is Split Browser, which took the approach that the "split" should be at the browser level (across all tabs) rather than at the per-tab/document level (which I would have originally preferred). I think the choice makes some sense, because that way you can compare two different documents as well as two regions of the same document.
I also wish it had the little scroll-bar splitter that is present in so many Microsoft Office applications. But right-clicking and choosing Split isn't so bad for those rare cases where I want to compare two sections of a loooong web page. All in all, I'm pretty happy with Split Browser though...
I don't like to be reminded that I'm missing GDC this year, but Rob sent me this little video reminder. The video is of a soon-to-be-released game for the PS3 called "Little Big Planet" which allows up to 4 players to construct their own fully physical world, or download other levels from other players and play it as a game. Go watch it!
The one thing I don't like about OpenSUSE so far (both 10.1 and 10.2) is the mechanism for setting up Automatic Updates to the system (i.e. when security patches are released for packages you've installed). To me, it's needlessly confusing, though I think I've got it mostly under control in my head. This post is part investigation, part what-worked-for-me. I hope it helps those experiencing the same frustrations that I did. Read the rest of this entry ...
