FireFox is coool

So I've been self-teaching myself Selenium for my job and in doing that needed to install FireFox. Admittedly I got side-tracked for awhile but then this week put some serious effort into Selenium. Selenium itself is pretty cool but FireFox rocks - there's some neatie o add-ons like Last.fm. You type in an artist name and it'll play a song(s) by this artist but even cooler - it'll play artists that you'd most likely want to hear since you like the artist you just typed in. Let me just say VPR listening has suffered.

Making some serious Author-It progress but this tool has a massive uphill learning curve. However, once I can create my own custom book with customized content styles I'll be a beginner-expert. Currently, I'm intermediate-beginner.

Tonight I have to continue some consulting work unless the wife is on the computer; otherwise, I really need to start practising for the class I'm teaching and I have EFM reading to do, books I want to read. Maybe eat some dinner. And go to bed at a decent time since I have to get up a bit earlier then usual to take the car in for an 'ol change'.

I like that "maybe" eat some dinner. I'd say, maybe eat some ice cream. Maybe? Chow.

So you're a Foxy lady now? Cool! :) I'll have to check out that LastFM add on. Mine tend to be more practical or serve the purpose of feeling I'm in touch with friends. Weather, timezone info and such.

Hugs!

Ah, your heart is speaking, JS. Music is a passion!

Hugs!

JS, I use Firefox and I love it too, but I didn't know about Last.fm.

Sounds like life is busy and good.

san: life is busy and i'm working on seeing the good :)

my pictures i took for the project alternated between the "beautiful" and "ugly" - i'm still working on reconciling the two.
