And a fine close to a fine weekend.
Apr. 17th, 2005 11:56 pmWhich means that I got squat done and enjoyed it very thoroughly. Tomorrow, I'm probably getting my list of potential paper topics for the last paper that I have to write in my undergraduate career. On the Monday that it's due, I have my last undergraduate examination. So I've only got one week left of undergraduate work. I also found out that my thesis reader was one of the professors I had for a class earlier, and he did a wonderful job critiquing the paper. If we can work out a time or something, I'll talk with him about it and see what did and didn't work. Either way, it's finished and reviewed, and all I have left to do is find out what sort of honors I'm getting.
Secondly, Mozilla's leaving a rather large memory footprint on my system when it runs - periodically I need to shut it down to free up the memory that it grabs. Firefox won't run for some reason (same sort of memory bloat). So does anyone have a tabbed-browsing mouse gestures-enabled browser that does what Mozilla does and has much smaller memory usage? Preferably one that I can take my groupmarks across to without having to rebuild them. Could be that the latest version fixes the memory problems, so I got that. We'll see. [Time passes] Turns out my favorite Mouse Gestures extension is rabidly incompatible with the latest Mozilla version. Much like it was incompatible with Firefox. That sucks, because it's a really good gestures extension. Nice menus and such, well laid-out and everything. Oh, well. I'll wait for it to catch up and do normal middle-click browsing all the while. (I still want something that doesn't take 20K of memory on startup and can do all the things Mozilla does.) In a related sort of question, would installing Firefox with a Mozilla install already there make Firefox behave badly?
There's some other, not really related stuff. In the IngSoc department, be wary, for soon governments may be scanning your plates from above. If they can find a way of making it cost -effective, I suspect. In the "WTF mate?" department, the Exploding SuperToilet. Isn't that craptacular. In a "Wait, they're not ALL raving lunatics?" department, we produce another "dude, gimme back my religion" piece. (Older, from December or so.) I'm surprised I didn't put it in earlier, but it was hanging out in my Important Stuff file, and so I thought I'd throw it up. If I have done this before, oh, well. Still a good piece.
Remember that Day of Truth thing linked a while back? Well,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
murnkay produced a set of Truths - I don't know if it's original or from elsewhere, but it's interesting to see.
( The Truth is... )
Out of that same journal comes a snippet of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Sith:
Yoda: Game of questions will you play?
Anakin: What?
Yoda: Unfamiliar are you then with it?
Anakin: Why would you think that?
Yoda: Expressed confusion did you not?
As you can see, I'm still considering making more additions to my friends pages - while I'm net-addicted, I don't want to scroll through volumes of potentially marginally-interesting things. So, surprisingly enough, and probably in some way counter to the nature of the friending process, I'm making evaluations of journal contents. How silly of me, right? Am I placing standards in a place where standards should never show themselves?
Oh, and I'm currently involved in a one-versus-one battle of captions (Famous Quotes) in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
