On Firefox, do the about:config thing and edit:
network.http.pipelining to “true”
network.http.proxy.pipelining to “true”
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to a larger number – say 25. Firefox will now make 25 requests at once.
You can also right-click and select New-> Integer. Name it nglayout.initialpaint.delay and set its value to “0″. This value is the amount of time that the browser will wait before it acts upon the information that it receives.
Apparently, there is no real word for the @ symbol in the English language, so these guys have set up a little poll.
It’s called an ‘at’ surely!
about:
about:config -> config console [The useful one]
about:cache -> What is being remembered
about:buildconfig -> compiler options used to create my version of Firefox
about:plugins -> see all of your Firefox plugins
about:credits -> erm, credits
I’m going ot have a go at writing a Firefox extension.
The upside is that I have an idea, the downside is that it looks like after 6+ years being a web developer I’ll actually have to know more than 10 JavaScript methods.
I have some time off over Xmas so I’ll have a pop then

It’s quite funny actually, I like his favourite movie.
This article on CNN talks about a brain, grown from some Rat brain cells learning how to fly a flight simulator.
If it’s true/real/not exageratted then that’s pretty cool.
“Hello I’d like a backup of the internet, on a floppy*”
The British Library and the Bibliotheque Nationale de France are embarking on a programme to archive resources on the World Wide Web in their respective national domains. To achieve this programme, the British Library as lead partner wishes to tender for a contract to multiple suppliers to provide development services and/or software technology for a Smart Archiving Crawler. This will comprise of a framework controlling and interacting with Heritrix, the Internet Archive’s open source archiving web crawler, and modules which provide prioritisation capabilities using document thematic analysis and link weighting.

Not possible apparently.
This post mentions work arounds for Mac, but I need to figure something out for windows.
Household Ackroyd/Beale hac decided to drag itself into the 21st century by digitising all of it’s music.
Full signoff from Cathie, not just me. We both feel that we’ve neglected to keep up with new music due to our OH FUCK! introduction to parenthood2 2 years ago.
Anyway, I’m now listening to “Straight outta compton”, NWA. It’s mad that I can still recite the whole thing from beginning to end. Did I just say that aloud?
(I will keep re-editing this post and resetting the timestamp)
I assume (and hope) that some of these will be solved by using pugins.
