Where’s the peanut butter?!

I reliably have the following experience. I’ve experienced this on multiple Windows machines and in Linux and with 2.* and 3.*

• Adopt Firefox rather than previous/default browser
• be happy
• Between 1 and several months pass
• Things deteriorate to the point where it sucks. Opening or closing tabs takes forever. Browsing between pages (forward/back - same tab) with large amounts of content (which previously would render with pipelined speedy hotness) is painful. Actually *starting* the browser also takes forever (in the past I used to say how I’d originally switched to Firefox because I could literally start it, browse to page X, and have page X render all in the time it would take IE to render page X).

So what’s the deal? I’m guessing I’ve hit some data limit and now my form MRU, or history, or some random cache is now rearing a very ugly unoptimized critical path head. Or something? This is so not the future.

Citigroup to shed another 53,000 jobs

So the economy is still a disaster, but on the bright side, maybe these will be the people who have been responsible for sending me three credit card solicitations by snailmail every day for my adult life?

“My life is in God’s hands,” Palin said. “If he’s got doors open for me, that I believe are in our state’s best interest, the nation’s best interest, I’m going to go through those doors.”

Sarah Palin is relentless and unapologetic with the depth of her faith-based-lack-of-accountability. It’s stunning that anyone supports her. Even if her conviction or the strength of her faith seem compelling, surely it’s easy to see the fault in “any opportunity I see, I will take advantage of and it is God’s will that it turns out that way,” right???
