Thoughts for the day

The new Firefox 4 is both awesome and aggravating at the same time. It is so much faster, and after getting used to the new layout changes, much more efficient. However, continued issues with remembering open tabs, app tabs, and saved login/password info, make me wonder why they changed a system that works.

While we are on the topic of IT issues, the Microsoft Active Directory error message writers need a good beating. Generic error messages with generic lists of possible solutions do not lead to a good and productive day. Suburban job can be frustrating like that more often than I would like.

This moring, while getting ready for work/school:

Suburban Kid: Dad, have you seen my pockey huck?

Suburban Dad: Whats a pockey huck?

Suburban Kid: You know what a pockey huck is.

Suburban Dad: I'm not sure I do.

Suburban Kid: You know... the little black round thing they play pockey with.

Suburban Dad: I think you mean hockey... and its a hockey puck.

Suburban Kid: Gahh... thats what I meant... so have you seen my pockey huck?

This went on at least five more times before he got it right.


This kid of thing happens with ridiculous frequency.
