*sigh* Had some nice thumbnail screenshots on WebShots Pro but they got deleted. Much to my chagrin, linking directly to them resulted in souless, blank frames on otherwise-nice slices* like this. So much for progress. I need a faster way to get images hosted on my spaces so I can have relative assuredness they won't be deleted. Flickr's too slow for that, so's Photobucket… but ImageShack has an extension for Firefox which lets me right-click and "Upload to ImageShack". My past qualms with ImageShack included unreliability with missing images, and the horribly ugly image URLs. You never get all the markers in one box, I suppose — but I'm thankful for what's free.

Moving on, reason why there's a * next to "slices" is because I'm mulling over replacing my verbiage of "blog post" with "blog slice". WHY THE HECK? If you're thinking of me and watermelon slices, it makes sense. A more representative way to slyly say, "This is part of a whole", too. Plus, after reading about thin-slicing via Malcolm Gladwell (awesome hair d00d), it fits nicely together.

Looped back, I think I'll still use WebShots Pro and the like: I'll just remember to store my images more persistently in the future. Gosh knows how many old slices I have that weren't preserved in time as I'd like them to be. It's almost as depressing as a rotting watermelon!

SICK. Ewwww. YouTube's throwing weird errors on their front page at me:

At least I could enter through the side. I prefer this error.

In the time you wonder why you made a decision, you could've made two more decisions. And so on it goes.

Also in the "makes Firefox better" dept., I got coComment, which keeps track of comments I make across blogs. It automatically recognizes popular services like YouTube, and to such ends, I've enabled a WordPress plugin for it too. So if you use coComment, you can easily keep track of what's happening. I think it's nicer than receiving notifications via email. But dang:

1. those coComment "ghosts" are weeeeird and
2. the add-on can't be toggled off easily without disabling it and restarting your browser.

It doesn't play well with Second Life's Feature Voting Tool either, and (this is without coComment) if you got double frames after entering a proposal, I entered that as a bug while I was at work! :p
