O, Canada!

26 October 2009

I have recently been informed that ‘alot’ is not a word. How did I get this far in my life without knowing that?

Acai berry weight loss pills on flogs (fake blogs) with fake testimonials and fake comments, how to make $83,000 in three days with no effort, teeth whitening ‘deals’ that charge your credit card for 3 other products in the fine-print, etc, etc. In our crumbling global economy people are more and more desperate and will fall for anything that sounds like a bargain.

8 October 2009

While I was on a little journey south of the border the other day, I had a flat-tire. I had just passed a road sign that told me I was halfway to my destination. So, I was in the middle of somewhere and heading off in either direction would have been the same except, apparently, I wasn’t going anywhere at all. …[continued]

TiddlyWiki Crashes Firefox

1 October 2009

FirefoxAre any Firefox users having a problem getting to JLiki? It’s crashing my browser. I can’t even get onto the main TiddlyWiki site.

It looks like a war on Tiddlies, but it could be just my computer. Can you please give it a try if you haven’t yet, and report back your insights?
