A Better Firefox

Posted in Geek Stuff at 16:04

I sat down at my computer today and realized, lo and behold, my web browser seemed light years beyond the default Mozilla Firefox configuration without being noticeably slower. As such, I made a cleaned (no personal stuff) version and you can get the bzip2-compressed tarball.

If you’re on Linux, just rename your old ~/.mozilla folder and extract mine into your home folder. If you like it, copy your personal files from the old .mozilla and keep it.

Another reply to an unsigned e-mail

Posted in Site Updates at 17:04

Another blog reply because a message didn’t have a valid reply e-mail. Would anyone who doesn’t want to give out their e-mail when contacting me please consider SpamGourmet or DodgeIt? It’s kind of unfair to the other blog readers when I have to post replies as site updates.

i just tried to comment on your responce to my insulting
mial to thank you and that stupid anti-IE window popped up
AGAIN!!

Fanfiction - “The Things We Wish For”

Posted in Fanfiction at 20:21

Title: The Things We Wish For
URL: (Fanfiction.net) (Hosted by AngCobra) (Chapters 1-12 at Florestica)
Author: D.B. Sommer
Source: Ranma 1/2
Rating: 6/6
Type: Continuation, Semi-AU
Length: 15 Chapters, 2 Interludes, Epilogue

I started reading this expecting quality, and I was not disappointed. As with Shampoo 1/2 (which I intend to give 6/6 when I can find time to review it properly), The Things We Wish for is a well-written story with believable characters, lots of humor, and a deep back story. They also share a tendency to extend the Nerima craziness either spatially or temporally but I don’t think any worse of them for it.

Well, today I woke up to find a site feedback e-mail which was slightly insulting but made some valid points. As such, here’s a little something explaining why my site is the way it is.

For those of you who notice rendering problems while using internet explorer, my site has been tested using Firefox, Opera, Mozilla, Konqueror, Galeon, Epiphany, and K-Meleon and they display it perfectly well. It’s also 100% standards compliant. Internet Explorer has half-a-million bugs and ignores the Internet standards wherever it wants, but I can’t test my site on it because the stupid thing won’t work on my computer. However, some of my planned
fixes to improve my site’s appearance in feature-poor browsers like dillo and lynx might help.

Manga Review/Rant - “Your And My Secret”

Posted in Manga, Otaku Stuff, Reviews, Web Wandering & Opinion at 1:50

As you may have guessed, I’ve always loved gender-bending comedy. Though it’s less likely, someone may also have guessed that I enjoy it, not only for the wild and wacky humor, but because I love seeing how the characters react and trying to decide how accurate their reactions would be in real life.
