5 Things I'd like to see In Opera!


5 things I'd Like to see in opera I was tagged by Bud fammcdon

1. a SIMPLE Customisable user CSS for idiots.
The standard choices for blogs a fine, but blogging is all about individual expression.:D

2. Better help for Linux users, version requirements and dependencies, also installing browser plug-ins.
some of my adventures getting Java and flash to work were...
frustrating.

3. a way To see my mail contacts without having panels opened, either on the default mail buttons or
a pop up java script window I could select an email address from:D

4. a block button in my forum messages page:pBUDp:

5. a help page for blogging plug-in content and a user directory for same.

okay some things are for the browser, others for the my Opera site.

*Bonus request: 1 share Opera Stock issued to contest winners:up::wait:as long as this does not give Tamil a controlling interest:irked:

A Criminal Administration

, , ,


Why is the Justice Department investigating the leak of Bush’s illegal activity instead of the illegal activity committed by Bush? Is the purpose to stonewall Congress’ investigation of Bush’s illegal spying? By announcing a Justice Department investigation, the Bush administration positions itself to decline to respond to Congress on the grounds that it would compromise its own investigation into national security matters.

Caught in gratuitous and illegal spying on American citizens, the Bush administration has defended its illegal activity and set the Justice (sic) Department on the trail of the person or persons who informed the New York Times of Bush’s violation of law. Note the astounding paradox: The Bush administration is caught red-handed in blatant illegality and responds by trying to arrest the patriot who exposed the administration’s illegal behavior.

Bush has actually declared it treasonous to reveal his illegal behavior! His propagandists, who masquerade as news organizations, have taken up the line: To reveal wrong-doing by the Bush administration is to give aid and comfort to the enemy.

National Security.

, , , ...


If the goal of Islamic terrorists is undermining American freedom,
then we have to ask ourselves,
Are the terrorist winning?

If we allow domestic freedoms to be diminished without protest,
how can we consider ourselves to be patriots?

Domestic secret wiretapping without a warrant violates the constitution.
The laws passed to support the action are illegal.

The Constitution says "congress shall pass no law", that violates our protected rights.
The President swears in his oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution.

Be a brave patriot, Impeach every violator, be they a congressman, representative,
Senator or President.

This is a call to action, it starts by writing your elected represenatives, it ends in the voting booth. It is time to send Washington a strong message and reclaim our Constitution.

Another Poem...

The Conversation

Rhododendron said to Narcissus,
"Where do you go each fall,
To meditate or contemplate
Some sacred shrine or hall ?"

"Nay",spake the Narcissus,
"My time is short, tis true.
"I sleep beneath the ebon earth
and hide myself from view"

"Why do you hide, my vain fair lass,
What tortures do you fear?
The tickling bees, the creeping grass,
The trampling of the deer?

"Nay again my bow belled friend,
For if I stayed all year;
My countenance of buttercup,
Wouldst not tell you spring is here."

Poem - The sitting

The sitting

Persian rugs on hardwood floors,
Windows framed with wandering jew,
Books on shelves of block and pine,
Pillows thrown askew.

Easel near the bedframe,
Where tubes of paint are strewn,
A model gives her small soft hand,
Beneath the quarter moon.

New Post

This is the NEW post.
Notice how bright and shiny it is compared to the old dusty posts.
After a post is minutes old, it becomes tarnished and faded looking,
No one wants to read it.
It just goes down, down and further down the page,
To the second, third, etc.
Until it is put in some sub zero electronic post prison, an archive.

Unless of course it stays at the top of the page,
Where by some strange miracle of electron regeneration,
It remains bright shiny and flaunts a vibrant neon halo.

Maybe someone should invent old post polish:
<ADVERTISEMENT>

))))))))))ANNOUNCERS VOICE((((((((((

Tired of those dull looking boring old posts?
Sure you are! and so is everyone else!

Well don't be embarassed any longer get "POST BRIGHT!"
....YES "POST BRIGHT!"

Polish those dingy, dull, unattractive old blog and forum posts and
Make them look good enough for everyone to read.
</ADVERTISEMENT>

I guess our electronic culture is obsessed with the new, the bright and the shiny.
Me, I'm off to search the old forum archives.

Fleeced and Sheared


In America there exists a hierarchy of haircutters.
1. your basic unpretentious "Barber" with the familiar red & white candy striped pole.
2. Mall stylist, like supercuts, get em in quick and clip them fa$ter.
3. The Upscale Salon stylist, make em wait and charge more for the importunity.
4. The Most High Exalted "Hair Sculpturist".

Is all this drawing to a point?
I went to a hair sculpturist once when I was a teenager, alright, it was a long time ago.
I was running for student body president so...

My mother made the appointment,(Her Idea) and drove me the the exclusive
cliff side studio overlooking a waterfall, this is great except the
waterfall was about a thousand feet
below his studio window, just about straight down.
to this day I think it was part of his evil plan to fleece the quaking acrophobics.
anyway...

The first appointment all he did was look at my hair, look through my hair
and write in a note book, I can only Imagine what he wrote:
"Today I found another sucker, boy is he a live one and his mother already has the checkbook out,
I can probably stretch this whole scam out for 4 or 5 appointments before I do anything!

He appeared to be counting hairs per square inch, splitting hairs as it were.
My experience was different than this though, it was more like The Marquee de Sade
practicing some rare form of scalp massage torture, while looking wistfully at his very sharp scissors, almost licking his lips in antisipation of the eventual shearing.
We escaped, somehow, barely...:eek:
And I went to a BARBER.
I give the Barber all the credit for my 1 vote margin.

Poem - Autumn Leaves


A friend of mine once told me that poetry was intensely personal and should stay that way!
But its my blog and I'm posting it anyway so....p: to David where ever he is.



Autumn Leaves

Whirling dervish crimson leaves,
Skating figure eights to airy perfection;

Kamakazee battle planes,
With no goal or direction.

The last wan leaf,
Upon this limb and twig of time doth cleave;

A weather vane on anchor watch,
North wind would have us believe.

The Gentle Art Of On-line Stalking.


Did you ever find yourself following links another had posted,
Studying the websites and forums they haunt, just to get a better idea of what makes them tick?
Oh sure you have, dont even try to deny it.
Anything to catch a glimpse of the ghost behind the avatar.
But its easy to get sucked in, like an undercover profiler for the F.B.I.
You begin to examine the evidence and project your images and senarios.:left::right::eyes:
Do you ever suspect that the flirty, girly personna that flits from post to post is
actually a burly water heater salesman from Nepal with intentions of corrupting your
innocence and converting you to some rare form of Animalism/Hinduism with overtones of
reincarnation as an escape from the pagan Christian devils of western civilization?
Sure you have....Uh Huh...I mean you have right?
Are you following me around?
How did you find this page?:insane:

{ O - e + ( p x e2 ) = r+a }

OPERA :happy:
:irked:I run into people everyday who don't even know there is an alternative to IE.
I try to break it to them gently:left::right::eyes::yikes:
with this simple example: { O - e + ( p x e2 ) = r+a }


O = The amount of time it takes OPERA to load a page .
e = The amount of time it takes Explorer to load a page.
p = Time saved per browsing session
r = Real time saved over a internet browsing lifetime
e2 = Enhanced browsing experience squared.
a = Absolute value of OPERA

So. { O - e + ( p x e2 ) = r+a }

*Note if (e) has a claimed value Lower than (O) or e > O THEN SUBTRACT USER IQ and continue calculations with negative numbers
