^ Well, sometimes these things just hang on and on....

Evening all. I'm really planning on going to work tomorrow.

Full moon tonight. Pretty.

[Cayla]

Good evening!

I can see the moon from my patio door.

My husband left for Southern Ohio to work tonight. It's amazing what I can get done around here when he isn't home. I spent the evening working in the garden, drying herbs, and freezing fresh green beans and grated zucchini.

jgc, I hope you get better soon.

Good morning, all.

More training at HQ today, so I will be running late again.

[jgc]

Thanks Cayla.

Gorning everyone.

So far, so good. Of course I've just gotten up and only had three sips of coffee....but so far, feeling not bad.

Sick of my increasingly buggy Internet Explorer, I decided to download Firefox last night (which I'm using right now). So far it seems to be a bit faster and Renext is behaving quite nicely with it. There's still some things I need to work out, but so far so good.

[jgc]

^ Yeah, that' swhy I downloaded Firefox quite a while ago. Uni was nice enough to tell me about it, cause I'm pretty clueless...

Home from work folks. I put in a full day! Woo hoo.

What I really want to know is what Tipper got up to today. When I got home the afghan was all messed up. Oh look! Poor guy has the hiccups!

[RJDiogenes]

^^ Heh. That must be funny.

Good evening, all.

I've been using Firefox for a while, and I started using it because my IE was crashing left and right. I love it, even though it takes a while to boot up....

[jgc]

I have to use IE at work. But at home I use Firefox on both my computers. With the exception of one online payment whose web page only works with IE. Odd, huh?

My PC was automatically upgrading FF v3.0 until I heard that 3.5 was released, and when I upgraded to that it worked even better. So make sure you have that.

[RJDiogenes]

^^ Interesting. Mine just automatically updated to 3.0.1.3 about two days ago. I guess I'll have to get 3.5.

Good morning, everybody.

It's Friday!

[jgc]

^ Yea!

Morning. Waiting for the coffee to finish.

[Cayla]

Flukie suggested Firefox when he was helping me with computer issues about a year ago. I also installed it on my work computer.

Good morning!

I was asleep by 9pm, but I am still tired this morning.

[Lupine]

I think my version of Firefox is the latest, but it so-far works better than IE in any event. I think I might load it onto the other computer as well.

In other news, it was cool enough that I slept pretty good last night. If only the rest of August would be like this.

Not so odd -- you used to run across that a lot, particularly with banks and government websites, but most have become more friendly to other browsers over the last few years. For that one payment, you might want to try using a Firefox add-on which embeds IE in a Firefox tab. I think this is the one trekkiedane recommends. Here's another which is supposed to be an improved version of the first.

[jgc]

^ Thanks.

Home from work. Glad today is over. As much as I love Fridays (end of week), I seem to often be very crabby on Fridays. And not to everyone either. So strange. I know I'm doing it, but can't seem to stop at the time. Anyway, it's over with.
