@achewood I am composing a tone poem about eagles, lawnmowers, and Ted Nugent. It is composed only of the sounds of those things.

The strength of my memory is inversely proportional to the importance of the information to daily life.  This is useful for Trivial Pursuit, and is a source of amusement for my colleagues who like to play "Lets find something John doesn't know about."  However, its a source of despair for my wife, who resorts to emailing me reminders to do things like get gas in the car.  Sometimes she does this when we're both at home.

Speaking of alt texts (or more accurately, 'title'), with firefox 2, the tooltip does not appear when I hover over images, and thus I am robbed of it from comics such as achewood, dr. mcninja, or xkcd.  I have to look at the image properties to get it.  Anyone know how to re-enable this?

Oh, please let this be the segue to a Lyle-in-prison story arc. Not enough Lyle lately.

I love the disclaimer by Beef at the end.  Also the alt-text.

A can for naming yourself after Sumarian epic poetry.

Also, I want a Halloween costume of myself that consists of a mask of my own face? And a plastic smock with a picture of myself on it saying "Trick or Treat!" in a big word bubble instead of a close approximation of the clothes I would usually wear rendered as a plastic smock. Because the latter would be just silly.

Hey kiu kredi la strio bezoni pli Lyle!

I once got a bloody big box, dressed it up as a pumpkin, put it on a trolley (with arm holes) and wheeled myself about. The dog (who's terror of my previous Headless Man costume resulted in five stitches) tore it up along with a small part of my arm, but not before I'd forlornly wheeled myself around the empty village after some local toughs mercilessly trundled me into a shite filled ditch.

I haven't upgrade to FX2 yet (I'm waiting a bit to allow time for extensions and themes to update) but I use the Popup ALT Attribute. There's also a Greasemonkey script that will display the text underneath the comic for Achewood, Dinosaur Comics, A Softer World, Dr McNinja, Wondermark, and xkcd.

Achewood doesn't actually use alt-text - it uses a title element - and that does pop-up in Firefox, although it concatenates the text after so many characters and just puts a ... at the end.

So you'd still need to check the properties to read the entire title text.

I don't know of any way around this... as of yet.

But you can change a LOT of FF's behaviour with:

about:config

Great "add-on" Cort.  Remember when they were called "extensions" last version?  Sigh.

Anyway, I love FF2.0 so far except when it just completely freezes up when I'm trying to scroll up or down a page sometimes and I have to kill it with a three fingered salute.  By "sometimes" I mean at least three times a day.

I know I should have waited for the first point release, but dang it's just so derned... sexy.

Love the spell-check built right into the browser for text fields, too.  I am ashamed to admit that I need it.

I'm still addicted to TBE. Granted, every single official release of FX has included more and more TBE features but there are still some missing that I can't otherwise live without. How do people survive without undo-close-tab?
