Open up task manager in Windows XP however you usually do (Ctrl-Alt-Del or right-click on task bar). Double-click in the area just under the tabs. Do it again to put it back. Weird, huh? You can drag that window around, too. It does something strange on the Performance and Networking tabs.
So, the doctor says I’m ill. Big shock there. I’ve got three medications to take twice daily. My health insurance card isn’t working, so I’ve had to pay it all out of pocket. Just before I went to my appointment, I learned that my server had been hacked.
I was in the doctor’s office for an hour, waiting. I think that they take sadistic pleasure in asking you, “How ya doing?” when they first encounter you at a doctor’s office. I mean, clearly, I’m miserable. But I’m going to say I’m fine because that’s just what one is supposed to do. You just know that they’ve got an evil grin on their face when they turn away. I’ve always hated this stupid custom.

I hurriedly upgraded to Firefox’s new preview release 1.0 after reading about it at Gadgetopia. Perhaps I was a bit hasty. Once again, a couple of the extensions that I use extensively are not yet compatible with the new version. Still, there are some benefits to be gained.
The new version includes this crazy search bar. Instead of popping up a window when you hit Ctrl-F, a new toolbar thingie appears at the bottom of the window. The toolbar has a space to type the search term, and a couple of buttons that let you cycle through all of the instances on the page. There is also a button that will highlight the term wherever it appears. Appropriate errors appear in the bar when the search cycles back to the top of bottom, or when the term isn’t present. That’s a nice addition.
