We’ve discovered the cause of the problem we were having with SquareSpace online blog creator and manager and Firefox RC3.
It was the LastPass add-on the Firefox. I inadvertently, meaning clumsily clicked through a pop-up box without reading it. LastPass was filling in fields I had mindlessly instructed it to fill.
Thus, every time I brought up the editor, it filled in the blanks and defaulted to the Fathers Day entry, during the creation of which the offending action on my part took place.
When there is a technical problem we always first ask, “Is it plugged in?” Now when we have Firefox problem, we need to ask, “Is it a plug-in?

There was a cartoon back in the nineties of a man sitting at a PC staring at the screen with a look of incredulity. The message on the screen says, “You have reached the end of the internet.”
That’s how I felt this morning when I had no more links on my RSS reader FeedDemon. I had started with 521 pages to view. This seemed an insurmountable task.

I will admit it was my intention this morning to join the mob and comment on the brouhaha about the exchange recently on the Gilmore Gang. But apologies from both combatants have been issued. The matter should now be dropped.
So, have you seen the flash games on Owen’s World? The flash based games can be a harmless distraction. However, the ever so simple Tetris posted there brings back memories of my first computer addiction. What this version doesn’t seem to do is increase the intensity, but remains at the level started. This could explain how I got to 1900 rows before I dragged myself away.
The fact that Tetris didn’t exist before 1984 is very hard to believe. It seems like one of those things that have always been there. Graceland was opened to the public two years before Tetris was invented, almost to the day.
This is all a geeks attempt at changing the subject. It’s something like someone saying, “So what about those<insert sports team>?”
