Nifty Tool

This is cool! Ever have a website with a search box that you wished you could search directly from Firefox? [1]If you don’t use Firefox, shame on you. You know what I mean, the little google or yahoo search box built into the browser.

Well, now you can! I was catching up on my geek reading when I came across this little tidbit. You basically download the extension for Firefox. [2]Sorry IE7 fans, only works w/Firefox. Maybe you should make the switch. Then any page you visit with a search box, just right click inside the search box, click “add to search bar” and you’re done. You can now search said site directly from the browser.

For example, I setup my blog. I can click on the little search box in Firefox, select my site, and then search my blog for any term(s) I want! How cool is that? [3]If you are clueless as to what I’m saying, click the link for a screenshot preview.

The Morning After

So last night with TFA was very nice. It was good to see him again. After almost 3 weeks, I was jones’en to see his handsome face. [1]Yeah, I was excited to see other parts but I won’t be going there He tends to be a very private person so I think knowing that I blog scares him a little. hehehe. I’ve assured him it is all very general and often has more to do with me. Wouldn’t you agree?

I will say it is very nice to find someone who’s energy matches my own! OY! Such a strong connection. I’m liking where this is headed so far.

Fly By

So the flight attendant [1]Here on out referred to as TFA has a layover tonight in SF! I’m so excited I’m falling all over myself today. LOL It has been 3 weeks since I’ve seen him. I’m definitely looking forward to it.

You can figure out the rest on your own.

Random Questions

I’ve gotten a slew of random questions this past week and I figured I’d share here my answers.

1) What happened to “Mr. I-know-who-you-are”?

I don’t know. He never responded to my request for a valid IP address. All talk and no action. NEXT!

2) Are the hidden posts on your blog stories or real life occurrences?

I’ve answered that before however, they are all true. Sometimes I change the names to protect the guilty though. heehee.

3) When did you know you were gay?

I knew as early as 5 that I was somehow different however, a mind that young has no frame of reference for human sexuality. I began questioning when I was 10 and then at age 12 I knew something was very different about me. It wasn’t until just after my 14th birthday I began to really admit to myself I was ‘gay’.

4) I registered as a user but I still can’t see your hidden posts.

Probably because you didn’t reply to my follow-up request to introduce yourself. Email me directly.

5) You never talk about the Bare Chest charity anymore.

I no longer volunteer for them. Call it “creative differences”.

6) I noticed your twitter updates are still functioning. Mine has stopped, help!

I switched to a javascript loader via the RSS feed. The WordPress widget no longer works after one of Twitters’s recent upgrades. Email me and I’ll send you the code to load.

7) I live in San Francisco. I have never seen you out at the bars. Where do you go out?

Uh, I don’t do the bars much unless I have friends in town. I used to go out alot when I worked for several local charities however, my priorities have shifted.

8) Have you ever met Chad Fox?

Yes, and he is a filthy scoundrel and I love him to death.

9) How did you know I worked for [removed for privacy]? Is it that easy to discover?

Uh, because I am very nosy. I monitor all incoming/outgoing traffic on my blog/domain. You visit me weekly from your work address/IP. It is not a filtered or proxy IP so it was an easy guess. And yes, it is.

10) Why are you such a slut? (from a good friend mind you after reading my last entry)

Because I can be bitch. Jealousy is so not your color! 😛

Technorati or Technocrap?

I think I’ve discovered why so many VC companies like Technorati fail about 70% of the time. They don’t give a rats-ass about their user base.

My Technorati feed has been down for well over three weeks now. I’ve emailed twice w/o a response. No notice, no email, nothing warning of the outage. A quick perusal of their forums shows I’m not the only disgruntled user either. I don’t care that it is a free service. If you offer a service to thousands, even tens of thousands of people you at least have an obligation to warn them when it goes offline regardless of the reasons. Hell, if you can sp@m my inbox w/useless news about your staff, you can take the time to send a quick note, “oh btw, our service sucks and will be down while we try to figure out what went wrong“. No, I’m not bitter, why do you ask?

Not a big deal in the scope of things however, it is rather annoying when I’m trying to be nosy. lol

Shout & Scream

First things first, a big shout out to Adam. Today is his birfday. He hasn’t been feeling so hot so be sure to hop over and wish him a good one!

In less exciting news, I got the “ring of death’ on my xbox 360 console last night. I was just sitting down to play the full version of Bioshock when the box suddenly shut down. On reboot, I got the fated death rings. I hate to but Microsoft gets props for having my info correct and on file. After a quick run down of this and that they had my repair order placed. Of course, it was just too be good to be true, the system was “updating” so I had to wait an hour and call back to finalize the order. Almost Microsoft, almost. lol
