Life :: Constant Work in Progress

There is a new web browser available.  Opera is now offering their new version at no cost unlike in the past.  Opera is slick, fast, and more secure than Internet Explorer.  Many people think Firefox started the “tabbed” browsing, but the truth is Opera started it first.

The tabs are very intelligent in the recent version and those of you who have been testing out IE7 will realize that there are many similarities.  Of course, one would NEVER think that Microsoft didn’t copy FF and Opera.

I strongly urge everyone to use Opera as their default browser.  It is available not only for Windows, but on MAC OS X and Linux.  If not, at least use Firefox and avoid attracting spywares.

Another great article available today.  This may be counter-intuitive coming from a tech guy, but it’s well worth reading.  Mac Rory’s article found here.

Earlier this year, I believe in April, I slammed my finger on my car door.  The nail is just starting to re-grow, and it no longer looks gross.

Last week as I was going through the horrid events of my tires getting changed, I ripped a good chunk of my skin off my left hand.  Now I have a scab which is good since it no longer shows the “inner layer” of my skin grossing out my kids.

Last Sunday, I had an incident with my motorcycle and have the biggest pain at the moment.  Right food peg rubbed my leg the wrong way and some skin on my right leg just got destroyed.  I got some “goo” oozing out of my wound, and it is not pretty.  When will this all end?
