And we're going mad with photos! New to the web is childeric's birthday set ... from 2003. (Ahem.) Yell if a photo of you therein causes actual physical projectile vomiting. The B-Movie March 2003 set, with sarcaustik's Weapons of Mass Distraction, is back on air. If you object to any pics therein, too bad as they were up on velvet.net for two years! I would like to mark this pic of Mog and Eris as my very favourite of this set.

arkady came around this afternoon and did most of the house cleaning. I think I owe her my soul (again).

p.s.: Firefox crashed in the middle of me writing this post, which is what I get for writing it directly in the browser like I tell everyone else not to do. SessionSaver not only recovered my tabs, it saved the contents of the text boxes, right up to the moment of the crash. Don't start Firefox without it.

heh. i read that polydactyly page a while back. i reccommend harder science pages on it. they are far more interesting and informative, and much less biased. there are several good books about the actual mechanics and chemistry of these things, too.

1. Firefox crashes enough that someone wrote a plugin to deal with it?

2. It isn't a standard function?

3. Ever heard of Opera?

[reddragdiva]

Firefox crashes when you run it for a week without restarting, because it still leaks memory like a leaky thing. Nothing is a standard function - they stripped it down to near-uselessness to avoid "complication", so everything's in extensions. Opera annoys the shit out of me (and leaks worse after a shorter uptime).

[ewx.livejournal.com]

I'm increasingly convinced that there is simply no excuse for memory leaks (http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/).

[loom.livejournal.com]

The commonly mis-reported memory leak in Opera can be fixed by switching the cache memory management form automatic to a fixed amount of memory (in Preferences/Advanced somewhere). It isn't actually a leak, so much as opera caching stuff in memory to re-render pages faster. I only restart my PC after thunderstorms, or software/hardware install/upgrades - Opera hasn't crashed it yet.

[grumpy-sysadmin.livejournal.com]

You seem to be making a common, Windows-centric mistake. An application's crash should not (and does not, anywhere but Windows) imply that the operating system needs to be restarted.

[loom.livejournal.com]

Whilst I agree with most your point regarding Windows (I'd add OSX in there), I'm afraid that that is not the mistake that I've made. The mistake I have made is one of poor expression. Let me rephrase.

I only restart my PC after thunderstorms, or software/hardware install/upgrades. I only restart Opera when I restart my PC. Opera 8+ hasn't crashed yet.

I run opera on a variety of OS's and it is equally stable, although I can't say I leave it running for weeks at a time on any *nix's that I use.

[strangedave.livejournal.com]

Seriously, I have programs crash, or have to force quite them, on OS X all the time (not because its unstable, but because I'm a software developer, so run all sorts of crap), and find that restarting is really neither necessary nor particularly useful in most cases (the occasional exception being things that deal with hardware, mostly).

[emarkienna.livejournal.com]

Surely that's the case on Windows too - or at least, it's extremely rare that an application crash can take down the OS.

[reddragdiva]

One might think so, except the best practice of not routinely running with Administrator powers makes it way too hard to do too many things. Mac OS X doesn't tend to work that way.

[reddragdiva]

The main problem is the annoying the shit out of me. The main main problem is that all software sucks.

[loom.livejournal.com]

That would make the main main main problem that Computers in general suck.

I blame Turing, he was (if not the first) one of the first to propose that machines should be fallible. And they have been ever since.

[zotz]

I run both Opera and Firefox for weeks or months at a time. They don't cause problems.

The rave Chick Track parody is from Ishkur (http://www.ishkur.com/articles/trancecracker.php) (not sure how old it is, though).

SessionSaver's fine right up to the moment when one of your eighteen kajillion open tabs crashes your browser. You restart your browser, it crashes again. You have to close tabs quickly, usually getting a couple each crash, til you find the one causing it. And by then you've closed half the fucking tabs that SessionSaver was remembering for you in the first place.

sessions in tabs

[sheridanwilde.livejournal.com]

which is precisely the same problem you can get in opera as well (as another responder suggested).

[reddragdiva]

I read somewhere that all software sucks.

[stevek.livejournal.com]

Quill pens and parchment anyone? ;-)

Sessionsaver sounds rather useful - I must remember to download it when I get home.

I love Jack Chick parodies. This userpic is from another one by the same fellow called "God Hates the Scene".
