More and more and more...

Well, my website is all fucked up again. It's there - more or less. Backgrounds are hit or miss, images are hit or miss, stories are hit or miss. So I sent a note to Mediacom (my ISP) which basically told them to fuck off. I think I'm going to go with GoDaddy - they have a good reputation, aren't that expensive, and their tech people were very quick and very nice in answering my earlier questions.

I also installed Google Chrome, but I'm not sure I'm going to stay with that. It's faster (ie, doesn't bog down finding sites) but it uses tabs exclusively, which I hate, and doesn't have the Google toolbar and in general is clumsier to navigate and use than Firefox - and when I'm opening various sites, while simultaneously searching for stuff and have a couple different programs I'm using... the time wasted having to minimize everything on Chrome just to get to the other stuff hidden behind the damn tabs means there isn't that much time saved.

It would be so nice if these technicians would quit playing with new "innovations" and just have stuff that's simple and works for the user. In this day and age you'd think they'd realize that the computer world is no longer inhabited solely by geeks (no offense to said geeks, btw ;-))

I used Chrome for a while and it was okay, but no so much that I bothered about putting it on when I got the new laptop last year. I like tabs, but want a choice too. Seems daft to expect everyone to have the same way of working.

Yeah - seems a bit ironic to find "innovative" developers who think there's only one way to do things... I'll give it another day, see if I can get used to it, but the hassles between it and FF kinda balance out, frankly.
