Well, I've been reading on Google news (my favorite news compiler/syndicate lately) about all the security holes of Internet Explorer. I've done a strange thing (strange for me, anyhow): I have changed my default browser to Mozilla Firefox. I've always been a huge fan of IE, but I think this latest bout of worms that has exploited some serious security holes in the program has given me the nudge to rethink my affiliations.
I downloaded it at first to help me proof changes I was making to TroubletownRecords.com, but I ended up actually making it my default web browser. Everything shows up pretty well, with two exceptions (so far): the little pop-up ad windows on Yahoo! Geocities pages are not closeable in Mozilla, and my tBlog looks kind of odd. The lines under the links sort of float somewhere above where they should be, which is a really weird glitch. Aside from that, I like the Firefox GUI, and I definately support its open-source architecture.
I also switched versions of my AIM hack. I've been on AOL's instant messenger for years as AttorneyKid, but I always hated AOL's version of the program. I even volunteered as a beta tester for AOL Version 7.0 when it was still in its earliest stages, and the resulting computer disaster made me swear off AOL software for good. I tried Trillian and a couple of other AIM programs, and up until a couple of days ago I have been using AIM Version 4.8 with a very solid hack called MyIM. I decided to switch to Aimutation, and use the features of the current AIM 5.x version. It's a little glitchy, but I think Aimutation Version 2.0 will prove pretty solid when it comes out.
Oh, well. Enough computer geek rambling. I think my next entry will be about the decline of our national folklore, so keep an eye out for that one.

I've never really liked IE.... I've always used netscape.. until recently... probably about 6 months ago.. I switched to using mozilla.. which is actually just about the same as Netscape.. except it has popup blockers.. which.. I'm so glad about.
I hope you're doing well. I'm glad to see you're back. :)
