Thanksgiving drives

Well, I'm back! Lindsey, Chaya and I went to Houston and Beaumont for Thanksgiving. The drive to Houston on Wednesday was fast—Chaya did not wake up once the entire way. The drive to Beaumont was pretty much the same. However, going back to Houston on Friday and then back to Austin today were both quite eventful. I'll try to post more about the trip tomorrow.

Even Microsoft is using Firefox

Microsoft is really having issues... When they sent out info on their new search engine to the press they included a screenshot. However, whoever made the image forgot that they were using Firefox to view the search page...

Look at the toolbar. You can clearly see the Google search box in the upper right-hand corner.

In case you did not know, Firefox is a more secure, more powerful, and easier to use browser than Internet Explorer. Lots of people are changing to other browsers like Firefox.

Back to Work

Well, I am back in the office today. I was working from home for a few weeks to help us get settled after Chaya was born, but it is good for me to be getting back in the office. Working from home invariably meant that I would work whenever I had nothing else to do. Needless to say, that meant that I sat in front of the computer until 2 AM many nights, only to get up at 8:00 to start it all again.

I think I like working from the office. Not as many issues with overworking—there are definite boundaries to what is work and what is not. It might have been better if I had an office at home, but I doubt it.

Firefox issues...

Am I the only person missing the Googlebar on Firefox 1.0? I have been dying without it, and I am starting to wonder if Google missed the fact that they were supposed to update it for the 1.0 release.

I have also been having some annoying issues in Firefox today, mostly not being able to copy and paste text from the address bar or from a form here on blogger's site. Not critical functions usually, but annoying nonetheless. Restarting the program didn't really fix it and I ended up getting the Netscape Quality Feedback agent twice... grr...

Entering the blogosphere...

Well, I am officially a part of the blogging world. I have not been very successful at creating journals or diaries in the past, but I think this might be easier. Enjoy!
