rambly: browsers, coughs

Wednesday, 16 January, 2002 at 4:18 pm

I’m presently mad at all three of the browsers I have. Netscape 6, 4.5, and IE 5. N6 died on me, 4.5 did an illegal operation and shut down, and IE was going too slow and annoying the hell out of me with that slow moving blue bar at the bottom. I’d like to try Opera or Mozilla, except Opera’s free version has pop-ups and I haven’t heard anything about Mozilla except that it’s a browser. What am I using now? Netscape 4.5 of course. Can’t ruin those cookies I have going, can I?

Meh. What is that and where did it come from? Meh? And why did the Simpsons use that word?

Y’know what’s annoying about a cough? It doesn’t help any! I cough, and then already I need to cough again! And it still doesn’t do anything! *mumble grumble*

I’m fighting the urge to put up a new layout. But hey, that’s good for me. It’s been two weeks and two days since I put up the present one. Not one week, or a week and a half, a whole two weeks and two days!

Netscape 6.1, Buba-chewed-layout

“How goes the new Netscape, version 6.1?” you ask. Or maybe not. :b

But anyway, yeah, so I’ve kinda got it figured out and fixed the way I want it … It’s so sloooooow! Okay, maybe not that slow. It’s the teensiest bit slower than IE 5.0 (the version I have now). But that’s slow to me! It’s like whoever makes Netscape was copying Microsoft (which is what I accuse them of doing) and thusly magnified the things I dearly dislike about that monopolizing browser. ¬_¬

Although … I can finally view frames and stuff correctly (I think), so I’m happy! :b If you’re wondering, I’m adding this entry with Netscape 4.5, don’t ask why.

Hey, I found out what layout I’m going to make to put up between the Padme and Michelle Branch one! It’s the cover of The Double Life of Pocahontas, illustration by … M-something Lynde … I think. Anyone want to open any bets as to how long it’ll take me to realize I can’t make this layout?

Ooh, ooh, guess what!! Okay, so Buba chewed the cover, I know that, and I cherish the teeth marks, I know that too, but I just found something out. I’m going to leave the teeth marks in on the layout and make a story! Or, at least I’m going to try to.

Obsessed? Yes, I love my piggums. I even love my scar on my right hand, although it was kind of scary when I first got it. I could see into my skin! Not that painful, though … or maybe it was, and my nice mind blocked out the memory. I do remember the horror of having to wash it out myself. I also remember making Buba fly across the room (umm, maybe a couple of feet) because he was latched onto me so hard. Hmm, personal experience if I ever wanted to report on how fiercely male guinea pigs can fight! haha.

Umm, what else? Oyeah, I downloaded that Netscape IM (which is AIM with a different name) because I didn’t want to stress myself out with the “custom download” so it’s just sitting pretty on my hard drive … *sigh* stupid thing. And there are “Free AOL and Unlimited Internet” links and icons and etc. all over. I can’t tell which is more rude, Microsoft or AOL.
