Fun Fact of the Day:

In Mozilla Firefox, if you set browser.triple_click_selects_paragraph to TRUE and browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll also, you can't select all the text in the address bar no matter how many times you click.

(I keep toggling the latter but it still won't select all in one click ;.; I probably just need to restart firefox, but lordy not now!)

Also, this one is rather helpful!

If you find that firefox (1.5) lags terribly when you open large pictures in tabs, such as from APOD or various LJ photo communities (I like [livejournal.com profile] jumpingpictures myself) then, set browser.chrome.image_icons.max_size to a smaller value. I have it on about 300 right now. I believe default is about 1024 or so. you can change this in about:config (just type that as if it were an address into firefox's address bar), the values are in pixels. I don't reccomend messing with the other values unless you know exactly what they are:] there's a lot of them.

What this does, is that it tells firefox (1.5) to STOP rendering those huge images into a tiny 16x16 square.

We all know how badly firefox complains when it has to resize images right? I know every time I scroll over some stupid idiot's post with them in one of the aforementioned communities. (Then when you tell them [nicely] what jerks they're being, they say they don't care. Well, screw you too buddy ^_^)

Anyways, now that I know that I can open large images with impunity again, I feel better ^_^ (firefox 1.5 has been giving really bad memory usage trouble, that other people don't seem to get. But I love how you can hover to change the focus of the scrolling, (like in mIRC) so I'm dealing with it by closing it often (overnight particularly) and doing stuff like this.




Anyways, it's the last day of Christmas vacation, and that makes me sad. But stuart makes me glad, but it's the end of his vacation just about too, and that makes me sad again (although secretly happy because then he won't be mansexing people when I'm gone to school! Although b0b is one of the main culprits, and luckily he's going back to work soon also and will have to live on normal people's time which is giving him such a hard time!:D

Okay, now that he's been shouted out, I must confess the reason behind a bit of my mushiness.

I read a library book.

In one day. (Azzie can confirm that I started it earlier yesterday afternoon, The House of Gentle Men, and no, not gentlemen.)

and it was sappy and awesome and I had to stay up until 3:20 reading it (but didn't get to sleep for another hour still) and oh my gosh I havent' read a book that fast in a while, and you all need to read it, here's looking at you stuben, and zomp.

It was very predictable, as far as big shocking events go, but I read anyways just to make sure they turned out, and boy they turned out very well <3

Anyways, today, I plan on MAYBE going to town, working on my playlist, MAYBE painting, playing Vagrant Story (what, I'm only 12% done STILL?!) MAYBE.

But golly gee, I gotsta gets to bed tonight;.;
