Josh Bancroft’s famous “think small” photo has been turned into a lolgeek, not to be confused with a lolcat.

Is anyone else finding recent releases of Firefox to be totally unusable after a couple hours? I’ve done some of the things people suggest for reducing its memory footprint without much luck. Not long before I took this screenshot, BonEcho (an unofficial build of Firefox) was up to about 220 MB. (Yes, I have the same problems with the official builds.)

Totally ridiculous.

I’m giving the latest beta of Camino another chance to win me over. There are four main things I’m going to miss from Firefox, though:

  1. Web Developer extension
  2. Firebug extension
  3. del.icio.us Bookmarks extension
  4. Ability to set Google Reader as the default feed reader

I’m in the market for a new point-and-shoot camera. I’m looking for something small and relatively inexpensive, since I also plan to buy an SLR later in the year. The Pentax Optio M30 seems to fit my requirements. Does anyone have other suggestions?

(Oh, how I wanted to use <blink> on that red text.)

Since I’m over thirty, I don’t really know much about this whole ringtone thing. Surely, someone out there on the lazyweb can help me out. Our current ringtone vendor only supports about half of US mobile providers. Does anyone know of a vendor who supports most, if not all?

As some of you know, I’ve been a contractor at OCP since June 2006. Monday, I will become a full-time employee. I’m very excited. I get to work with smart people on interesting projects at a company that does important work. I couldn’t ask for much more.
