Comment Bike rides (Score 1) 266

I really enjoy just riding into the sun with my bike (as in bicycle) without any real direction, checking out new routes I've not tried before. Thanks to GPS I know I can always find my way back. So in a way it makes me stupid (I don't have to remember the way I came from), it makes me lazy (not planning routes ahead) but it also makes me more adventurous taking me where my bike has not taken me before, discovering new places.

Comment Tabs ... (Score 1) 184

I still wish PuTTY would have native tabs without the need for the Connection Manager which is way to bloated for my need (tabs). I just need PuTTY, Pageant and then automatic tabbing when there is another PuTTY window already open.

Comment Better than IE (Score 3, Informative) 308

Better to see some Chrome installs out there because: it runs on multiple platforms, does a hell of a job in supporting web standards and is fast. Although it does crash on occasion, especially with web content. It also dies when you have 60+ Google Maps tabs open.

For me as a web developer I prefer to see more Chrome installs than IE, just it makes life easier. The only positive thing about IE is that they have gotten better at supporting web standards. Even though stuff that worked in IE 8 doesn't work in IE 9. and stuff made for IE6 and special modifications in IE7 still break IE8 and IE9. But I'm getting off-topic here.

... been this biggest problem with Firefox, not just since Firefox 4. Basically the last usable versions (memory/speed wise) where Phoenix and Firebird in pre-Firefox days. Ever since then it has been a memory hog and a pain. Eventually I switched to Chrome which just feels faster and I only use Firefox to debug websites with Firebug.

Indeed. I have a Hotmail account to check if the mails from my servers arrive there. Sometimes they don't, sometimes they do without a recognizable pattern. But when I do log in once or twice a year my mailbox is filled with spam. I want to know how the spammers get their mails into the system.
