Bitch: Been noticing more and more that people seem to have been discovering 'target="_blank"' to make links open in a new window, and feeling compelled to show off their new knowledge. I hate that shit. If for some reason I want the clutter of a new frikkin window I can just shift-click; forcing a new window takes the new/same-window choice away from me.

Relief: Finally got annoyed enough to dig up the cure up again. For anyone else equally annoyed and using Firefox, "browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs = true" is your friend. Go to "about:config" to toggle the value, then rejoice at the new option under Preferences->Advanced->Tabbed Browsing.

You may express your appreciation at this tip in Twinkies.

It lives....

Nice to see you around.

"target=_blank" is new? Really? Odd. Not Even.

You mean tell me that you know and interact with people who don't use a tabbed browser? Are you sure you still want to be their friends? I thought you were more elitist than that.

And since we know that all you ever want in life is to hear how my life is going I won't disappoint. My WONDERFUL Sys Admin is leaving me in 3 weeks and my weekend Part Timer just quit on me so I'm going to be working Weekends for a bit. I'm beginning to think my life sucks. We now have a staff of 4 full timers including myself and 1 part time person. Want to come work for me? I've been offered the Tech Manager position. See I don't have an attached penis so I don't get to play with the servers (but we all know mine is bigger and it has sparkles!). Wanna come be my employee? Take Sales calls, clueless DNS questions, and maintain our BSD servers all for ~$30k a year with no relocation package! Plus you'll gain voip experience, learn asterisk and the slipstream web accelerator. And if you're bad, I'll make you work on the Win 2003 server cause I'm evil like that. Or maybe I hate the company. I'm not sure.

Yeah, life's great in Raleigh...

"target=_blank" is new?

Time to check your reading comprehension again, dearest. ;) I said more people have been discovering/using it lately. I never made any claims as to how current any of them keep on technological advances. If we're lucky, they might even discover how to remove scrollbars from frames soon.

blah blah blah my life blah blah blah

Mmm. Yes. Awful. Uh huh.

Want to come work for me?

Will I be issued a company boomstick for user diagnostics?

Re: It lives....

I understood what you said completely...I just don't express myself clearly. To expand on what I was saying before, I think poorly of the people who are discovering this now. And how low have you sunk to spend time with them? I thought I was the bottom of the barrel. I'm not sure how to feel anymore. I think I need to go write some angsty poetry to sort out my feelings. And buy more black eye liner.

If you keep dismissing my emotional needs like this, I'm not going to be able to resist the urge to type long rants and drivel to you. I know you miss it.

As for the job, you will not be issued a broomstick. You really won't be issued much of anything. Bring your own chair, computer (which our insurance won't cover if something happens to it), and your cell phone will now be your pager! And no, the company won't reimburse you for it either and good luck getting your comp time. You would be on call 24x7 even if you're on vacation. I really did get paged while I was in Sedona and had to take the damn call.

No no no, that's boomstick. Not broomstick. ;)


Though I guess I misunderstood the object of your scorn. I'm so used to being the recipient of it, I never would've suspect you of sympathizing. Woe. Have a clove on me, Lady Darktasha. As for poor html usage, it's not even just individuals. Lots of commercial websites are doing stupid crap like requiring Macromedia to use their sites, being "clever" with javascript, and trying to fill users' screens with as many windows as possible. So much for the dotcom crash weeding out the incompetents, eh?

But feel free to send me as many long rants as you like. My new email address is nobody@localhost.localhost.com. When're you going to start up a company which'll crush your current employer?

Re: It lives....

[saintingie.livejournal.com]

That's what I get for reading your journal with no sleep. *whine* boomstick...well you do have their home addresses so I guess you could help cure their stupidity. Very tempting.

The scorn was still directed at you but also at your tormentors. I wasn't that sympathetic, was I? Why is it that I can be so caustic to you in print but never find the words when we're together? You tromp on my soul so gracefully, chasing my acerbic nature away, leaving me gutted, invisible, and feeling worthless. I think I envy you.

As for bubble bursting and weeding out the worthless, that seems to have applied to every place but web development. The worthless must have MBAs and wow their employers with all the pretty colors and the blinking nonsense. If not, I'll just keep telling myself that so that I have some self-esteem left. You know how fragile my ego is. I crack with just a stern look.

I've been debating starting my own business...or becoming a breeder and start spawning like mad. We all know how the world needs more children in it.

Because you know it's rude to talk with your mouth full.

I think I envy you.

No, you just crave my hot monkey-love. There's a slight, subtle difference.

that seems to have applied to every place but web development

Dunno. Seems to be at all levels, really. But therein lies a long, angst-ridden rant best left buried in sand a cable's length from shore. I'll go so far as to mutter something about the redundancy of "MBA" and "the worthless," though.

or becoming a breeder and start spawning like mad.

See? It just keeps coming back to your lust for my howlermonkey luvin.

Re: It lives....

[saintingie.livejournal.com]

Hot monkey luvin? I don't recall you having much body hair at all. Have you gotten hairy suddenly? You might want to see a Doctor about that.

Are you going to FC? >:O How's teh dog? ^^

[urocyon.livejournal.com]

Doubt it at this point. Have a bunch of stuff I need to get done before the end of the weekend; was considering going after finishing it off, but wound up out flat with a headache all day instead. Wasn't exactly productive. And someone who was going to see about crashspace for me and Dawg never got back to me anyway.

Her Poochness is doing well, though giving me those "I'm bored!" looks right now. I'm sure she'd love going to the con again considering how much she enjoyed it last year, despite the seven hours of tedious sitting in the car each way. That's like nearly two days of driving, in dog years!

Have fun at the con for me.

[kitsumi.livejournal.com]

Awww. >< You guys can always crash at my hotel room, it's less than half a mile away from the hotel. Ahhh so sad, no pooch.

[urocyon.livejournal.com]

W00t! Is it that nearby Motel 6? OK, we'll see if I get done with Crap soon enough to drive there before it's all over. Reckon I can find you in the dealer's room again, da?

[kitsumi.livejournal.com]

Hmm, it's called Sierra Suites. Hopefully you can find the people were supposed to house you originally, bf's mildly cranky from my pre-con activities/procrastination. =X But until then I'll see what I can do for u and pooch ^^;;;. I'm most likely going to pass out super early Friday night, and Saturday too. I can't handle all nighters any more. =/

[urocyon.livejournal.com]

They're OK with pets? I doubt I'll hear back from this guy before end of con, but I've come to expect flakiness from fen. Dunno about this no-all-nighters bit though. If nowhere else, cons're supposed to be for all-nighters. Silly critter.

While I'm guilty of exploding new browser windows onto the desktops of unwitting victims now and then, I still thank you for this nifty trick.

Expect a forklift to arrive with a crate of Twinkies for you.
