Is hate worth the trouble? November 11, 2008 3:28 pm
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Cathy, Communications, Daily Life, Family, Technology , 1 comment so farI’ve just been on the phone with Sprint because one of their customers has left a pseudo-threatening/hateful comment on my wife’s blog. They advised immediately filing a police report so that their corporate security department could escalate the issue faster than if I handle it myself. I really don’t like giving hateful people this much attention. It’s best if they just go away. People, the Internet is far from anonymous! In cases like this, you don’t leave a bread crumb trail; you leave a paved boulevard.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily Life , 1 comment so farIt could be that Firefox kept running my machine out of memory. I’m going to be watching its memory usage closely to make sure on of the many plugins I use doesn’t have a memory leak. Additionally, I have never cleaned out my bookmarks. That means, every url I bookmarked since Firebird version 0.7 I still had. Also my history had every day’s usage remembered back through June. I deleted every bookmark (since those are all duplicated on Delicious anyway. And I cleared my history (which was a little disconcerting because I do go through that history regularly and pull things out that I need). Back to work.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Communications, Software, Technology , 11commentsMy workstation is having trouble. I suspect a piece of hardware is dying or a huge dust bunny is wrecking havoc inside the case. It spontaneously reboots a few times a day which is not really a problem because I wouldn’t take breaks otherwise and Firefox always comes back in the same state as before the crash…well, almost always. I don’t help myself because of the way I use the computer. I have many apps open at once and typically will have multiple Firefox windows open with 10 to 20 tabs open in each one. This is how I do research and it is typically work related or blog related. In today’s instance I had 4 windows open. 3 were work related and 1 was filled with information I might one day blog about. These are usually just bookmarked at Delicious for that day I finally get a round to it. Considering my machine was having trouble and I had far too many tabs open, I was just starting to bookmark everything and reduce my windows down to the very few I needed when the computer crashed hard. Upon coming back up, Firefox opened to just a single blank window…no tabs. I needed that work related research! I can reproduce it but this is just frustrating!
So, is there a way to tell Firefox, "restore the previous, previous state?" I think I’m faced with scrolling through the mornings history and pulling up pages one at a time.
