Windmills of My Mind

lol..."that's where I'll be" LOL

I wonder what's your best moment?

Ahh the Avocado, also know as the “Zaboca” in Trinidad & Tobago.

There are many different types of ‘Cado’ though. Some are creamy, some watery, some with strings attached etc.

The worst thing is waiting for a Cado to ripe only to find a Pseudo-Cado… son of *****! All that time waiting only to find a stringy, watery, off colour thing not worth placing in your coconut bake. Oh the horror.

Sadly not all Cados grow up to be Radocados (named after the great Randall). The perfect Cado is hard to find. I come across missing socks quicker. Even when found a potentially great tasting Cado may be hard to peel!

Enter… the Disobedient Cado or ‘Diso-Cado’. This may sound like a small thing… but Cados can be so hard to peel that when you finally get the skin off you have Guacamole

Scientist have long hoped to breed the Radocado but until now, the only way to come across one is by chance.

TRIVIA: Why does the green edge of an avocado taste the same as the yellow interior?



ANS: know I should hell the how Really,

Well one of them anyway & not now… it was like when I was 13. Not much of a relationship though cause we hardly saw each other & were both shy.

Thing is these twins were identical & as they were not in any of my classes I only saw them at lunch or break time…. I couldn’t tell them apart!

My best friend somehow could tell them apart though & we had a good laugh at the fact I still couldn’t tell after a week.

Now his girl was in my girlfriend’s class & both of them tried to help me figure out who was who before I met them …they would be like… “She’s wearing the Nike today” ..so I’m like “okay cool “

The next day of course I happened to see one of the twins first! so what do I do? look for the shoes first! …of course I didn’t think at the time that because they were twins they would sometime borrow each others things

So there I was making ‘sweet eyes’ with my supposed love when she walked down the corridor only to see her expression change to that of ….”what the hell are you doing?”

Oops wrong one!

Their personalities were very different though now that I think of it. One seemed more stuck up & sure of herself (she knew she was HOT & wanted) & my girl was shy like me

It was very cute though… such a short period in my life but it was fun

…well except the times Jack (a moron in her class) wanted to kick my butt because he was jealous of me …actually most every guy was a bit jealous of me so that was expected.

That B**** is FAST! Safari 4 I mean ….seriously! I find Opera takes long to load in general but Safari’s load time is non-existent! Firefox 3 (with considerable plug-ins) loads pretty well but Opera takes twice as long Safari destroys them both.

Opera needs to watch it’s back cause the only thing that keeps me from switching is the way Opera handles Transfers in it’s own tab, the “Duplicate Tab” & “Paste & Go” features which I use extensively.

Another thing I love about Opera is the close knit community. If I have a problem I can contact Opera directly & get help in a second. I doubt that would happen with other browsers.

One quirk I dislike in Opera is the way it handles Bit-Torrent files. …because they have a built in Bit-Torrent program when I click a torrent file to download, Opera takes it by default. However I would rather use my own Program. There must be a way to turn that off but for the life of me I cannot find it.

I have a plug-in in Firefox 3 that gives me Speeddial (though not as much as in Opera) & Safari has a similar “Top Sites” interface. Yeah Opera came out with it first but in the end it doesn’t matter. Once it works on your particular browser. Therefore that feature is no longer an advantage for Opera.

Now this Acid3 Test I keep hearing about is a big thing for browsers. And apparently it’s HARD to pass because not even Firefox gets a perfect score. Opera fails…. & but Safari 4 gets the perfect score
I can’t begin to imagine how difficult making a browser & keeping it up to standard with current technology is, however it is a bit sad that for all Opera’s innovation (Speeddial, Unite etc.) that we don’t even get mentioned in the same sentence as the ‘Popular browsers’.

I remember hearing that the reason why some sites can’t load pages in Opera is not Opera’s fault but that the sites do not take the time to make themselves compatible with a browser of such small market share.
So I guess some problems will be resolved as Opera gains more recognition… but some (like the Acid3 test) they will have to resolve on their own.
