Computer problems hampered my Russian work for a while, but today those problems were fixed for the foreseeable future, and I have a chance to do Russian work (required DVD player attached to compy) so intense it entitles me to a break. Good thing.

To add to this happiness, Pandora’s been all thumbs up for a while. Maybe they’ve changed the code. But it’s fantastic. It’s actually playing what I want.
I will use this break to tell you to enable cleartype. Unless you’re Ally, you won’t look back. It should be enabled by default, and I have no idea why it isn’t. Fantastic stuff.

Secondly, the performancing plugin for firefox is as good as it comes. Blogging just got better. It allows blogging while browsing, quick switching between code and regular modes and wordpress categories. It’s what Writely should be but isn’t. I hear Flock helps Writely, but I haven’t checked it out, because new software is very rarely a time-saver for me, who is a waster. On my first impressions I’d say it might be to writing blogs as RSS is to reading them, but perhaps that’s a bit extreme. Speaking of RSS, Sage is my favourite RSS reader. I just like how it’s simple, and when you click on an article, it brings up the webpage itself, not the plugin’s interface. I like that in an RSS reader.
