Firefox 3 is running nice and stable. :D Sitting at a pretty 100megs of memory used, rather than 250megs or more (in one extreme case, 1gig!). :)

Did anyone see this article about how Astronauts have used good ol'-fashioned Duct Tape for some of their repairs?

I know liradralyn is expressing some problems with her laptop lately, and I happened across this Gallery of Gadget Revenge that I'm sure a lot of people will enjoy looking at. :D (By the way, we have a tape eraser at work, effectively a very strong magnet. I am always concerned with using that thing whenever I'm carrying anything that isn't a video tape, including my ID card.)

Hm, I have another 160GB hard drive here... and now I remember why my C: Drive is filling up. I allocated 50GB (of a 80GB drive) to a Linux partition which has not yet occured. Maybe I should just throw the 160 in and Ghost it.

(Hey, by the way, I have two free gift codes for the first episode of Season Two of Sam & Max - "Ice Station Santa". First two people who want them, I'll forward them the e-mail so they can redeem it!)

Aah! Tempted to say "me!" even though I haven't played through my first-season episodes yet. X3 And I'm probably planning on getting the second season on the Wii instead anyway. So yeah, never mind. X3

Hooray for Firefox 3! :) So you aren't having any weird stale-image problems with it? I've been harassing ATI about it, and so far it looks like I might just have a faulty card... bleh..

Well, who knows if the second season will be on the Wii (though I don't doubt it) - and if you want to buy the second season on the PC, this'll give you the Full Season discount as well ($26 for the rest of the season). The offer still stands :)

Sadly, I have an NVidia card, so I'm not experiencing the same problem. "Stale-image"? As in the image stays up even after you minimize a window or something?

If I have too many tabs open, the image stays up even when I change tabs. Any window-repainting that's too big, that is. Tiny things like drawing animated GIFs still works, so I get some GIFs animating over the previous tab's stale image...

I'm tempted to give FireFox 3 a whirl in OS X. I've been using Camino for a while now (currently 1.6 beta), it uses the same rendering engine (Gecko) as the other Mozilla browsers, but everything else is written natively for OS X. At the moment it's using 76.33mb of real memory, not too shabby, as I only have 2 tabs open.
