Okay, so it’s a good browser when it works.
Over the past week I’ve had multiple crashes with heavy usage (multiple tabs with active content). I still like the browser; however, there are some bugs that still need to be worked out.
Well, it’s now out in final release. If you are an Internet Explorer kind of user I would highly recommend downloading it as it is MUCH faster then IE7. The tabbing is improved and the speed increase is noticeable. Going between “Compatibility View” and Standards mode (default) is quite simple (and sometimes necessary to view a page properly). I still prefer Mozilla Firefox for it’s plug-ins (or Add-ons); however, I can honestly say this is a nice step forward for Internet Explorer. I guess with the competition heating up with different browsers MS finally woke up. You’ll have to manually download and install it at this time, the link is below.

So Mom’s (Elena’s) back surgery went well yesterday. As per usual it took her a while to come out of the anesthetic but at least she came through initial recovery without issue. When I went to see her she was in and out of sleep but doing well. Holding a conversation didn’t really work that well, it went something like this:
Me: “How are you feeling?”
Mom: “Oh, good. In a little bit of pain…
…
[several seconds later]
but otherwise I’m okay”
Me: “That’s good to hear.”
Mom: “I have an idea for our comic. Lenny (a cool little dog, I’ll try to have a picture up some time) was doing something really funny; now what was it…
…
…
So that’s what I want to do”
Me: “That’s great Mom; however, you didn’t actually tell me what Lenny did”
Mom: “Really??”
Me: “Yeah”
Mom: “Oh. I think I’m going to try the Jello.”
UDATE: You can find a picture of Lenny here
But she was at least smiling so it made me feel better knowing she was alright.
Anyway, best wishes to everyone.
Okay, so if the site looks a bit weird for a while I’m going to be trying out some customizations to the theme.
I’m tired yet can’t sleep. Why is it that when I need sleep I can never fall asleep? Oh well, time to do some research I guess.
Seriously, this time of year is like torture. With all the pollen in the air my allergies just kill me. For anyone who has pollen/dust allergies you know what I’m talking about.
In other news, at least the weather is nice. Slightly overcast; but cool.
I’ve uploaded the pictures from Donald’s trip to D.C. you can check them out in the Art/Picture Gallery page.
Or you can just CLICK HERE and be taken directly to the page.
Well all the pictures are now up. I still need to try to put some caption info w/them; but, at least they’re up.
Well, slowly but surely I’m going to be transitioning to this new setup. I’m going to be moving the artwork over first so that should be up soon.
