I picked these up off of eBay not too long ago!

Is that from the "No place on Earth has better weather" era (1996–1998)?

The title-bar gradient is too smooth, among other infidelities:

Now with dwm on my old box:



X currently runs at 1024*768 because I had to revert to the vesa driver, due to the nv driver having a problem with window borders. I could not get nouveau to work.

It seems that I may be in the minority now of still using Firefox.   Chrome is indeed fast when I tried it for a test run, but I saw some bugs and a few web pages that didn't work, which really concerned me.  Furthermore, security is something I'm a little weary about when using something from Google as I do online banking and other private things.  I'd like to see Chrome step that up before I would completely trust it over Firefox.  It's just my opinion.

I am in the same minority. I still use Firefox, albeit in the form of GNU IceCat. Firefox appears to be the least bad of the major Web browsers.

I just went through the worst power outage since 2008 for me. According to my UPS (uninterruptible power supply), it lasted about 52 minutes, and yes that is quite long for me because my power is delivered via ungerground wiring.

I believe my worst power cut was from 10–12 December 2007, due to an ice storm. I believe the power cut started at Monday, 2007-12-10T04:51-0600 (or so I remember the clock displaying when it happened), and ended sometime on Wednesday.

I wonder if Mibbit + a public BitlBee server would be an acceptable replacement...

Anyway, I have not used Meebo regularly since 2009. I used to use Pidgin (and later Finch, the text-terminal version of Pidgin), but now I use BitlBee with irssi.

Hey, does anyone know of a good, online Youtube downloader I could use? Mediaconverter and a few other sites no longer work with YT. I'm trying to save a few clips on my account that I no longer have on my computer so any help would be appreciated.

I prefer youtube-dl.
