That Was Then, This Is Now.
I had my grad photo taken this week, and the proofs were made available
today. I decided to compare this graduation photo to that of high school. It
is remarkable what four years of stress can do to a person. I decidedly
prefer the high school photo. Receding hairline, cheek bags, and eye circles
all contribute, also the more dramatic lighting of the high school photo
makes it the winner. However, it is possible the real print of university
photo will be more decent and have better contrast than the proofs.
Last night I accidentally lost all of my Mozilla settings while deleting ".mozilla" in the wrong directory. As such, it seems to be a good time to switch to Firefox and Thunderbird. Both of these programs are in many ways more refined than old Moz, but there are several things that bug me:
- Slower starting new mail, opening new browser, etc. That's a result of separating programs.
- Lack of "Open in new tab" option on links in eMails. The programs don't seem to be able to invoke actions in each other.
- I keep hitting Ctrl-N in Thunderbird and getting a new mail message instead of a browser window. Key consistency is important.
- EnigMail seems to be missing from Thunderbird. Will have to hunt down.
