2:04 pm - Firefox 3.6 and tabs
|
I updated Firefox to 3.6 (Mac). Now it's doing something that I suppose is meant to be a feature but I find it annoying: when I open a link in a new tab, the new tab no longer opens at the far right of the tab bar beyond the other tabs. Now it opens next to the tab I'm on. Most of the time I do not want it next to where I am. I actually want the new tab at the far end to the right. If I want it elsewhere, then I'll drag it to where I want it. But, for the most part, far end to the right is the place where I want my new tabs. I can't find a way to disable this. Any ideas?
(I spent a lot of time yesterday hunting for lost tabs, opening them twice when I couldn't find them, etc.)

1:42 pm - January books and video
|
I didn't read much in January. I started some, I browsed several, but I don't think I've finished anything since Flesh & Fire (which I liked a lot).
- The Italian Slow Cooker, by Michele Scicolone. There are several recipes there that I need to try. I did the chickpea stew. I'll definitely make it again, but not so heavy on the chickpeas.
VIDEO
- Sleepers, 1991 miniseries with Nigel Havers and Warren Clarke. Four-parter about long-forgotten KGB sleeper agents who have been in England for 25 years ang don't want to leave their adopted lives.
- the new Star Trek movie. I watched this in the theater. Still not enough Simon Pegg.
- Alias, season 1, episodes 1-11. First time watching this show. Fun.
- FDR, part of The American Experience. I caught part one on TV and checked out the DVD so I could watch the rest. Very interesting! I learned a lot.
- Slumdog Millionaire. Not at all what I expected, so I wasn't sure about it at first, but I ended up liking it.
EDIT:
- Slings & Arrows, season one. I'm pretty sure that was in January.

8:06 pm - Ah, the [bleep] scent of early February
|
|
I caught a few whiffs of it last week. Tonight, the scent is unmistakable: the smell of early February, when a young skunk's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love. Joy.
