Fun Fun

I haven't been posting much, Opera has been crashing constantly on me with the last update. Surprisingly, the beta works perfectly fine.

Last week I read an article about some guy in Florida who got himself into the record books. How, you may ask; he's got the world's largest rubber band ball. The thing is over 28 feet in diameter!

That's someone with way too much time on their hands.

All you peps with your i-phones, here's a great link for your wallpapers or whatever you call them. iPhone-room has a lot of good looking walls.

Another dude with way too much time on his hands.



A matchstick Titanic, now that's either some kind of talent or freaky obsession.

I'm pushing my luck here, so for now, cheers!

Cel Phones

Love 'em or hate 'em - cel phones are everywhere!

Personally I fall into the "hate 'em" category, but recently I had no choice in the matter and had to go buy another one. Another one? if I hate the things why would I buy another one and what do you mean another one; isn't one good enough?

This is my fourth necessary evil ringy thing. I've tossed two of them in the river already the last one was still ringing while it was sinking and I've given one away. I'm definitely not a fan of cel phones.

So then what's this post about?

Opera Mini, that's what this post is all about. If you haven't tried it - you don't know what you are missing and remember I'm not a cel phone fan. The standard browser that was on the phone, I quickly discovered was so useless that I was thinking of hauling myself and laptop off to a Starbucks just to use their wifi.

Then I got smart. (I also don't like Starbucks coffee) and downloaded Opera Mini to the phone.

What can I say other than WOW!

I should have known it would be a completely easy to use, slick and fast browser; Opera 10 is pretty amazing; what i wasn't prepared for was seeing a web page that actually looked like a web page.

Seriously, if you haven't seen or used Opera Mini yet I highly suggest you give it a try. You won't be disappointed. Want to see what it looks like? Check out the Opera Mini demo for yourself.

Feature loaded, this little browser will sync your bookmarks, super fast scrolling shortcuts, there's even a little mouse pointer on the screen. I should have known - the folks at Opera don't mess around when it comes to browsers and this is a great addition to my tools.



Rambling

, , ,

Before I begin - WOW! Espen this Opera 10 is fantastic! I only hope that everyone I show it to on my travels agrees with me that it is the best browser available. Keep up the excellent work.

So I've been home for a couple of days now, but you wouldn't know it by the state of the place. The lawn needs cutting, the laundry pile is high, housework, I'm not even going there.

Ottawa from what I was told had nothing but rain for a week solid, cold temperatures and the political hot air was a non issue. Looking around I was trying to figure out where to begin, the sun was shining, not too hot not too cold, just right for getting outside and cutting the grass.


Nope wasn't going to happen, I got as far as puling out the lawn mower when I spotted a bunny in the grass having itself a snooze.

I left the lawn mower and sat watching this little animal almost as intently as it was watching me.

The grass can wait for another day.



Laundry - maybe?

Anyone that knows me, knows right away I absolutely detest doing laundry. If I could I'd buy new clothes rather than wash them or send it all out to let someone else do it for me. Uggh laundry - I hate it.

Nope didn't do laundry either. Can you spell P-R-O-C-R-A-S-T-I-N-A-T-E

What to do, need to feel like I'm doing something without actually doing anything. I was hit with the sudden desire to find out how the neighbourhood cat was. This cat was abandoned over a year ago and nobody has ever been able to catch her; she's gone feral but still hangs around people. She's known as Miss Kitty to the neighbours here and despite being a feral cat is fed and watered at 4 homes.

Miss Kitty has so far as I know had three litters of kittens. The first litter consisted of two that survived, nobody knows where those little cats are.

The second litter had only one survivor and I'm happy to say that Skittles as he is known lives inside and is well cared for. This last litter has two of the cutest little fur balls running and playing in the yard next door. The plan is to catch these little beasts and get them homes. So far catching them is easy to talk about - hard to do. Suggestions anyone?

In the meantime I'm still trying to decide where to begin with the list of things to do. I could watch it grow even longer. I think I'll just have another cup of coffee and wait for an epiphany.
