One evening this week, I unfortunately decided upgrade to the latest version of Firefox. The end result has required almost 8 hours of mucking around to restore the functionality I had prior to the upgrade. Definitely a very unpleasant experience.
First, due to the puny RAM I have installed in Ol'Faithful, Firefox was unable to load. Now, I don't know about you, but I consider that a real showstopper. So I uninstalled Firefox and starting using Opera. And I was really enjoying the generally pleasant browsing experience, complete with zippy page loads and pretty colour schemes, until I stumbled upon a major limitation: Google can't manage multiple accounts with Opera! Not good.
With no other recourse at that point, I figured I had better just suck it up already and download IE 8. Let's just say that even with all its improvements over previous reiterations, I'm still not a fan. But then again, I've never been a huge Microsoft fan, so perhaps I'm not exactly the litmus test for IE fandom. To be honest, until I replace my laptop, I guess I'll just be grateful that at least I can once again visit my usual e-haunts.
And that means that I can continue blogging and job searching. :)
Happy long weekend, everyone!
