buter's BABY blog

I know I might risk alienating my readership. Oh well. Sometimes you just have to tell the world how geeky you are.

If you use Firefox then maybe you'll like this one. Sometimes I can't be bothered hunting through the list of bookmarks for the one I just know is there - like my bloglines, or smh or whatever. Well in FF you can set a keyword (or words) for your bookmark, that you can type in the address bar and you will just go there! So good.

Go to Bookmarks -> Manage bookmarks.

Right-Click on a bookmark name that you love like ... oooh, jarv's blog.

Then enter a keyword, say "Jarv".


Then save it.

You're done! Open a new FF tab (by Ctrl+t, dummy) and type "jarv" in the address bar.

It's Magic!

Today's geeky fact is brought to you by the Window+D key combo. Never lose your desktop again!

You might think from my Monday that I was suffering from a weekend of shenanigans. But no...

Fri night - a lovely 2-hour train journey home. Bloody cancelled trains stupid telopea train line random connections missing grumble grumble. (oh, and D™ took the car to Canberra..)
Sat day - gave blood, did some book shopping, went to a baby shower in glebe (remind me next time that it's not a good idea to walk from central to glebe in 27-degree-heat after giving blood..) then got on the 6pm bus to go to canberra.
Sat night - weird woozy feeling not at all helped by sleeping on the floor in a house full of paint fumes. In Canberra.
Sun day - woke up cricknecked, painted Someone.Else's.House. all day. In Canberra. Then drove back to Sydney with D™, arrived home 8pm.
Sun night - got to bed around 9.30, woke up at 11.40 when a FIRE ENGINE was flashing its lights and reversing down the fire trail in the reserve opposite our bedroom window (random? maybe!) then woke again at 1.30 with the wind rising, then woke again at 5.20 with the kookaburras then finally woke -again- just after 6 to go to work.

*sigh*

today it's better. Had a good night's sleep, no fire engines, no kookaburras, and I've found this ... I love this one which made me actively chortle. Hehe. I just looked at it again and I chortled again. I love the internet. Time's a-wastin'! (that's in the declarative sense)

Oh and if you're curious about the books I bought - they were tomes:

• Underground by Haruki Murakami.


• Swann's Way by Proust.


• On Seeing and Noticing by Alain de Botton.
