PhotoMatt has posted his wedding photos! Feel free to browse through them.
I promise, I’ll post some of my own soon. Along with house photos, Tiara Happy Hour photos and honeymoon photos. Yes, I have a lot of photo editing in my near future!
First, my confession. If you are one of those people that watches the log files to see what browsers people use, I am a diehard IE user. (If you are really a fanatic about watching things like that, you probably knew that already.) People have tried to convince me to switch, but I have just never given in. Sites don’t always look pretty on Firefox. I used tabbed browsing back in 1996 with Opera, and just prefer IE. I’m used to having 10+ browser windows open at one time, and with tabs I tend to close the main window instead of just a tab. The list just goes on and on.
Tonight, while surfing along, I came across Scott Andrew’s tech site, Delimiter, thanks to Ernie. I decided to go to Scott’s main page to check things out and maybe listen to some of his music. (Good stuff there, if you ask me.) However, there is a nice little warning that I should stop using IE on the top of the page. “Hey! If you’re using Internet Explorer, you’re exposing yourself to viruses that can steal your personal information, banking passwords and more.” Then a link leads me to his tales of woe and cybertheft, giving me a good solid reason to leave IE behind. Yeah, I had heard it all before, but this finally sank in. Internet Explorer is Dangerous.
He links to many sources that convince me even more. I have downloaded FireFox, and as soon as I close out my 17 browser windows, I’ll go back and read the Introduction to Firefox tutorial.
Today Firefox (and probably Thunderbird too), tomorrow WordPress. What’s next? My head is almost spinning from all the possibilities!
UPDATE: Yeah, I’ve been holding out because I’m not a huge fan of tab browsing. Brilliant. When you right click, you can choose “Open in New Window” in Firefox. You can even make that a permanent setting. Doh!
In case you didn’t know already, there is a new Blog Showcase in town. Just thought I would pass that along… [via Red Said]
Or you might prefer to Judge Blogs By Their Covers. Full of beautiful sites I might have otherwise missed. (With lots of great tips – good, now that I have time to focus on things like that again!) [via PhotoMatt.]
I’ve always been a night person. Well, in the sense that I stay up late – because in reality, if I get up early in the morning and get busy doing work, I’m really a morning person and get the most accomplished then. Unfortunately, staying up past midnight normally prevents that from happening.
I’m also one of those people that can be woken up from a solid sleep and function normally. I can talk, cook breakfast, whatever. I’m considering doing Project Blog for that reason, but haven’t decided for sure yet.
Last night though? Last night was unusual. I went to sleep at 2:15 am. I am stuck with the alarm on my side of the bed because Mike will sleep through it, so I woke up at 6:30 to wake him up. Again at 7:00. Again at about 7:15, when I begged him to get up so I could go back to sleep. He woke me up at 7:50 when he left. Chelsey called about 9:00 and we talked for a little bit. I told her to call me later, and I went back to sleep. Mike called at 9:50 as he went to get his hair cut. He offered to call back later, but I told him no, I needed to get up and run errands. I promptly went back to sleep. I woke up at noon, lamented over how late it was, and went back to sleep. When I finally woke up at 1:45, I actually screamed “holy CRAP!” Yeah, so much for all the errands I was going to run this morning, right?
However, I must say that I do feel quite refreshed now.
I was just thinking about them the other day. Jellies. The fantabulous summer shoes of the 80s. I think I had two or three pairs – I had to match them with my clothes, of course! I’m almost tempted to order some just to relive the memories!
