design annoyances

1) Popup windows
2) resizing the main window
3) popup windows that you can't resize
4) flash that needs to "load" before you can navigate the page
5) animation that replays every time you go to the site

and finally I get super-annoyed with 100% flash sites, so you can't link to a product itself.

edit: why the fuck did everyone comment on this and not alien abductions?

Although it sucks up memory faster than a Tijuana hooker, the extensions can't be beat. I've used as many as 30 but I think I've whittled them down to more or less the bare essentials:

WebmailCompose translates "mailto" links for your favorite webmail site, instead of nasty OE.
Book Burro loads up at Amazon and shows various other stores' prices for the ISBN you're viewing. Also, you can see if your local library has a copy of the book.
DownThemAll is one-click downloading for any files on a page.
Adblock is a necessity.
Fasterfox tweaks stuff for optimal browsing.
HashColouredTabs gives each tab a different color for a different URL.
Read Easily lets you disable/enable styles on a web page.
Session Manager saves and restores ALL the tabs when Firefox closes/crashes.
PDF Download gives you the option NOT to run Acrobat, and can even render HTML.
Greasemonkey lets you (or other internet folk) write userscripts for Firefox.

it's not funny anymore, just because I'm tired of it

really I hope that, at best, dudes learn to read ads and not respond if they don't fit the requirements.

also, stop sending women penis pix pls thx.

Jarvis Cocker writes in his blog. Notable for the number of times he uses the term "cunt" and "cuntish."

Without a doubt, this is the strangest, most sexist graphics tutorial I've ever read.

In other news, I found out last night that when mozzarella goes bad, it kind of smells like yeast. Draw your own conclusions.

I would like to give mad props to google's feed aggregation. I still use LJ for most of that kind of thing, but I think for MP3 blogs it's way better.

• The Friendster is a lot prettier and faster than it used to be. I dropped it after getting together with Reg, but I got back on last winter to laugh at people and connect with people from college whom I email at least once a week anyway. Anyway one of them had a birthday recently so I went back on the site and yeah. Added a bunch of people.

• The Puyallup Fair made me want to listen to Meatloaf. I guess it was all the teenagers. Jim Steinman is my favorite Jew. edit: Ok ok, Favorite Jew in Entertainment.

• I told Reg to get tickets for Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman readings, and he did. TONIGHT! Terry Pratchett's my favorite living author so this is GLEE-INDUCING.

advice: When explaining yourself to the Police its worth being as reasonable as possible. Graffiti writers are not real villains. I am always reminded of this by real villains, who consider the idea of breaking in someplace, not stealing anything and then leaving behind a painting of your name in four foot high letters the most retarded thing they ever heard.

lie back and think of england
