It 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.
Tired of Daylight
I’m seriously thinking of flipping days and nights. I’d much rather sleep through the day and work through the night.
3rd crash
10am and the machine just crashed again. Time to take it apart and troubleshoot.
Firefox Crash Recovery Fails
My 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.

No one told me Sh*t Creek had waterfalls! And tall waterfalls. With rocks at the bottom. Where’s that paddle?!

But apparently there are about 43 states better suited for my family.

My apologies to the horrible driver I chose to engage. You put us in unnecessary danger. My response did nothing but entertain the line workers at the intersection and upset both of us. Certainly we would have behaved differently had there been children in either car. I am not an asshole as I am sure you are not a bitch. I hope we did not know each other prior to this interaction but perhaps we will meet later on better terms.

From the mouths of babes
Noah, 12.5 years old: "Who is Tom Sawyer?"
Dad: "You’ve never read Tom Sawyer?!"
Noah: "I’ve heard of him. He was on Fairly Odd Parents once."
Bad Dad
I am trying to work. Evan comes downstairs carrying a game CD and a case for Mart Kart Wii because he likes playing Mart Kart Wii with me. Instead of acknowledging the cuteness and giving him the 4 minutes it takes for him to get bored with the game, I got frustrated with the distraction and angered that a CD/DVD was out of its case being handled by a three year old. Don’t ever forget, they just want your love and your attention! To give a child what they want often takes very little. Make the time.
