See. I told you. Firefox 1.5.0.1 just goes nuts. I don't think it handles big web pages or documents very well. I can't find any advice online about how to deal with it either.Here it's using 50% of my processor...

Mental note to self (again): Cucumber does not belong in a hot Subway Sandwich. Jalapeno Chillies, Pepper, Pickles and Lettuce - Yes. Even olives if you're that way inclined (I have to be in the mood myself). Cucumber just spoils...

This video is NSFW (the audio at least) but funny as f*ck. However, you seriously shouldn't click on the link if you're at work, have kids in the room or are easily offended. I wouldn't bother clicking if you don't...
Mental note: If I miss any Top Gear or Fifth Gear episodes, www.finalgear.com has them for download....

For Christmas I got the Diablo Toasted Sandwich Maker I asked for. And it is very good. Nice, deep sandwiches that hold plenty of filling. It makes very little mess and is completely dishwasher proof. The instruction booklet that comes...

I've just downloaded the Performancing extension for Firefox. As the site says, it's "a full featured blog editor that sits right within Firefox".It has "Rich Text" editing (automatic insertion of HMTL code for formatting), the ability to save draft posts...

I really should hide my credit card when I drink. I woke up on Saturday morning to find myself the proud new owner of burntwood.org. The reasoning went something along the lines of: 1) Write lots of stuff about Burntwood...

James has been invited to a birthday party by a girl in his class. He's 6 and she is celebrating her 7th birthday. James wants to buy her a bunch of flowers instead of a present. Is that incredibly cute...

Have you tried installing Apple's Quicktime movie player recently? The download page that you are directed to forces you to download iTunes at the same time. Now, I like iTunes. I use iTunes. I have iTunes installed on 2 out...
