Hey Guys! Wanna go bowlin’?
Slow Website
I noticed that the servers at members.aol.com are extremely slow. Bear with them for about a month and a half until some stupid AOL technician realizes that they were doing something wrong (That was sarcasm if you didn’t realize.) Actually, they seem a little better now but are still a little blah… I remember this happening last year, where the servers crapped out for a week or so and then they were fine. So just wait a little and they should be fine. Patience, my friends.
No, I Didn’t Throw A Crayon At You
Yeah. Random. I’m at Friendly’s with Greg and Marc yesterday and we’re sitting there minding our own business. Of course the two year old idiot Marc decides he wants crayons to color things. Anyway were’ over there doing nothing and this guy behind us sitting with his girlfriend goes psycho on us. He accused me of throwing a crayon at him, and I never did. It was weird thought because the way my arm was on the table, it looked like I may have thrown something, so I was like oh shit I’m framed. Anyway he was ready to start shit but we all ignored him. His girlfriend told him to that no one threw anything and he responded something like “No bitch. It didn’t come from the sky” and then continued to verbally abuse her. Crazy ass person over there. Why would I throw a crayon at someone not bothering me? Ok, I think I’ll throw something at someone twice my size so he can kick my ass. Honestly…
AOL + Meteorologists = Disaster
Yeah so I’m sitting here listening to the rain slam against my windows. So I went on AOL to delete some spam that their shitty filters miss. So on the main startup page, there is a little weather section with a 3 day forecast and the current weather. They do a really good job. Anyway – today’s forecast:
Mozilla Firefox is Awesome

Wow! What a damn good browser. It kicks Internet Explorer’s ass. Actually, I’m not a big fan of replacing things that came with the operating system, but you need to get this browser. First off, it is much more secure than Internet Explorer. For example, all those install on demand spyware installers are completely blocked. So it eliminates the holes in IE. It also doesn’t run stupid javascripts. For example, I made a computer crashing javascript using AIM vulnerabilities and opened it with IE. When I opened that same script in Firefox, it stopped immediately. Firefox also has a nice easy to follow options dialog. Internet Explorer’s is really confusing. All the stuff to clear your cache and history are right there, instead of going through IE’s many sub-option dialogs. The size of the browsing window is clear and to the point, instead of being cluttered with IE toolbars. Another key feature is the built in popup blocker. The most awesome thing has to be the Tabbed windows. Instead of having 10 instances of a browser open, you can have one and it will open in tabs. Another nifty little feature is a little google toolbar (which you can remove of course). Oh, I forgot the download manager… Yeah, it’s very nicely done. You can pause downloads and it is a really cool interface.
I highly recommend this browser and it is a MUST for everyone to download. It’s also free.
