firefox tweak
From Forever Geek: "Here's something for broadband people that will really speed Firefox up:
1.Type 'about:config' into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:
network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.
2. Alter the entries as follows:
Set 'network.http.pipelining' to 'true'
Set 'network.http.proxy.pipelining' to 'true'
Set 'network.http.pipelining.maxrequests' to some number like 30.
This means it will make 30 requests at once.
3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it 'nglayout.initialpaint.delay' and set its value to '0'. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.
If you're using a broadband connection you'll oad pages MUCH faster now!"

Here's a good poem written by one of my new, good friends in Deaf theatre!
Best Friends
I grew up receiving scars.
Having scars I wouldn't mind
which is good for me.
Also for other people with
their own scars
makes us stronger.
But losing you is not a scar.
It is murder, a whole big wound.
A part of me dies
because that part of me is you.
You made me,
I made you,
as we grew.
We made eachother.
Such a tremdous love I have for you,
you wouldn't believe your eyes.
Losing you is far worse than anything
in this whole universe.
A half of me is bleeding
because you walked away.

best highlight of my life!
Last night, after Deaf play rehearsal, my mom paged and asked me to get some cake mixes and a dozen eggs. So I went to get them: 6 boxes of cake mix and a carton of one dozen eggs. Obviously, my hands were full, but was able to talk to mom on the SidekickII. Then I walked to the front of the store to the area that's open space right before you go into the registers. I walked past a stand-alone poster sign and a lady was stading there, reading it. It caught my eye and I walked up to it. The lady left, and I stood there alone looking at pictures of a baby in a hospital. I looked at all of the pictures, catching "we are learning sign language" and a picture of the baby boy wearing hearing aids. I thought to myself that it's a cute baby boy. I was still talking to mom on the SidekickII when I scanned up from the picture of the boy to the picture of his parents. *GASP!* I paged my mom with "HOLY SHIT!", tried to switch to the camera mode and accidentally shut down my SidekickII. Shit, shit, shit!! I fumbled around with my hands full of grocery, set them all down on the floor, then tried to get my pager started up again. Frustrated, I grabbed all the cake mixes and eggs, and set them on an unused register. I walked back and made sure my SidekickII started up. My mom paged me back, but I ignored her, taking 3 pictures of the stand. Here are the pictures: the front side; the back side; and a closer shot of the bottom right corner of the back side.
I was in TOTAL shock, because I remember 10 years ago, I used to work at this awful grocery store chain. I worked at that shitty, discriminating store, "Smitty's", which merged with Smith's, and then it merged with Fry's Food Marketplace. There I am standing in shock at Fry's. I know the guy! It hit me, I remember telling him, "Listen asshole! For the shit you give me, I hope to God you get a Deaf son and then you'll feel the guilt and the pain you put me through!" I don't know why I said that, but knew he was going to have a deaf kid and warned him that he'll feel bad about treating me this way. The guy has twin sisters, one is such a bitch and the other is sweet, but still bitchy. Those three were part of making my life Hell while working at Smitty's. I looked closer to make sure it is the SAME guy I am thinking of. Yup, I saw his full name. Same guy, same asshole. But he better be a nicer guy than he was before! You might ask, "Why was that poster put up???" Well, I found out from parts of the poster, it is a plead for money to donate to the March of Dimes organization. Ahh, the dude's pimping his Deaf son! Anyway, it's a local Fry's Marketplace store. I know I am bound to bump into that asshole sooner or later. I simply don't know what I am going to do or say to him when I do.
Wow! The dude got OWNED!
