The kid and I just dined with Brad Johnson at the semi-mexican Southlake dining establishment also known as Chipotle. And by “dined with” I obviously mean just happened to be in the same room at the same time.
This is the same restaurant that I also had the pleasure of gawking at Mark Teixiera as he inhaled a 4lb burrito last season, post-trade. I guess you could call it 76092’s version of The Ivy.
It took all of about 24 hours for there to be fixes for the unwarranted iGoogle update. Thank goodness. If you’re using FireFox – and you should be – you would just need to install the Greasemonkey plugin and the newly minted Rockmaster’s iGoogle Sidebar Collapse Greasemonkey script.
If you’re still using Internet Explorer (shame on you), you’re stuck with what you’ve got due to the nature of non open-source code.
Let me know if you give it a shot and have no luck, I can probably walk you through it pretty easily.
Google, you know I have mad love for you. But why in the world would you take up more screen real estate on your latest update to iGoogle? Terrible idea. Terrible. I didn’t even use your tab system before, and now I am forced to. Not a good UI practice from a team with a very good UI reputation.
Here’s to waiting for a Greasemonkey script to set it back to its old self.
I find ways to remind myself daily of the multitude of levels of incompetence I possess. One of my many traits that lend a hand in the process is my ability to procrastinate on almost any given task. Especially the minute ones.
About 2 weeks ago, I used a site to test the availability of a couple of domain names thinking that I would later return to pick the one I wanted up. Instead of doing what normal people do and taking the extra three minutes while I sat there staring at it, I procrastinated. And to reward me for my procrastination, a kind fellow (or lady) by the name of Kim Tae Young in Korea snatched it right up. Upon visiting Mr. (Ms.) Tae Young’s site, I noticed not a word of it was in English. And since I wasn’t searching for a Korean domain name, one has to wonder what exactly is the need for said person to purchase the exact domain I was looking for.
I can only assume that Kim Tae Young is what is referred to as a domain squatter. One of the lowest forms of life on the internets ranking in stature right along with forum trolls, spammers and email forward abusers. His whole goal is to search around for possible purchasable domain names and snatch them up hoping to make a quick buck. (Or in the case of the kind German owning my .com, 10K euros)
Thanks again procrastination, you really did me in on this one. Here’s a preview of my conversation with client tomorrow:
“Hello, client? Slight changes ahead…”
This one ranks right up there with some of my other all-time biggies like:
Here’s to hoping that one day I will learn… and that I’ll never use www.ajaxwhois.com again.
Happy Birthday C.
