The one thing I like about Mozilla Firefox is the fact that I can open several sites in tabs, as part of my home page settings. <grin>. To use, simply separate the sites you want opened by the '|' (pipe) character, in the home page Location: text box (Tools > Options, General section)

Lately, I’ve been working on a project in Microsoft Visual C#. The language itself closely resembles Java (especially in certain parts of the class library exposed by Microsoft .NET), but its heritage is more C++ than Java. Inheritance is via the same construct/syntax as C++, and both interfaces and classes are inherited this way, unlike in Java with its

I’ve been catching up with F/OSS news lately, and have been reading several articles, blog posts, and news items. What seems to be the common denominator in the F/OSS community is the level of zealotry and passion that dominates conversations and comments.

I then (belatedly) found out that the CDROM drive was broken, and couldn’t use my ever-so-nifty Slackware 8.1 CD as a rescue disk. So, I instead used a Slackware 8.1 bootdisk I had lying around my room, and finished setting it up this morning. -
Things I do on a caffeine high, involving Java:

Rediscovering some Pinoy bands— Sugar Hiccup in particular. Interesting vocals and musical style. Can’t describe what band they remind me of right now, but I can say I definitely like it.

... but I'm not using you to edit my JSP and Java source code. I'm switching to JEdit. Not that I'm no longer going to use you— just not for anything remotely related to Java.

New story over at CyberLizard productions: Sleep. I recently found this in my notebooks. I remember writing it, as well as soliciting comments on it. Don’t try to read too many meanings into it though.

Too Much Magic. (Guilty as charged. Thanks to Sacha for the link</a>.)
