Which God or Goddess are you like?
Your Result: You are your own God or Goddess

Sorry to say, I have no answer that fits you. You are your very own person, and you like to do things your own way. You have stumped me this time, but I will soon make a quiz that will have your answer, just you wait...

Satan
Goddess Bast
Buddha
Goddess Sekhemet
The Christian God
God Zeus
Jesus
Which God or Goddess are you like?
Make Your Own Quiz

...actually, considering the options, that is a good result
(gee, I'm not a lot like Jesus, am I?)!

I've given up on Internet Explorer / Maxthon and migrated to Firefox.

Why did I finally give up on Maxthon? Partly because since I discovered YouTube, I found that I.E./Maxthon wouldn't show the flash films (and other media) properly, and Firefox would. Also, I'm still planning on migrating properly to Linux at some future date.

What had been holding me back was the same thing that held me back from moving from The Bat e-mail client to Thunderbird - functionality. However, I made the same mistake I made before. Firefox by itself is simple and unembellished. What you have to do is add extensions to get what you want. These are the ones I've found for my requirements

Enabled Extensions: [20]

Disabled Extensions: [3]

Total Extensions: 23

Cool extensions are TAB MIX PLUS (which sorts out opening new tabs and things), SMILEY EXTRA (which allows you to insert icons and graphic smilies from an online database) and UPDATE BOOKMARK (which allows you to update directly the URL of a selected bookmark by the current page).

The later was important because that was how I read web comics - I'll load the last page I've bookmarked, read one or more pages, and then update that bookmark with the current page. It means the next time I use that bookmark, I'll return to where I left off. Simple things, but they make the difference.

Also, Firefox has a built-in password manager. No more Roboform!

Just in!

Apparently the ABC Island in Second Life has been bombed!

Never heard of ABC Island before. Heard the story this afternoon on TripleJ. The host and guest were having a good chuckle to themselves over it, and suggesting that second life inhabitants might go out and buy bullet proof vests.

Whatever else this is, I don't think it's clever. A lot of time and energy must have gone into creating this area. The destruction of it just shows me how humans take their behaviour where ever they go, and that vandals will be always be with us, when people think they can destroy/deface stuff and get away with it.
