More Safari strangeness

I am experiencing this strange apparent bug in Safari 3 with Gmail -- when I click on "send" to submit a message, most of the time the page will just hang. If I hit the stop button and press "send" again, it will go through. This is very consistent.

Bad horse experience

This reminds me of me. Well, sort of. Except for the "impure of spirit" part. Well, sort of.

Going on a Safari... beta

Upgraded my Mac to Safari 3 Beta. Best features so far:

Having rich text editing in the browser is a big plus -- IE and Firefox have already had this for a long time. Makes Gmail and Blogger easier for starters.

Being able to run Safari on Windows is great. I've always wanted that. Safari is the only browser I like anyway and now it makes my Windows experience more pleasant.

That being said -- if you try it out, remember that the Windows version is still a beta test version, and there are a few rough spots (saw at least one crash and a couple of oddities, although nothing that keeps me from using it as my main browser.) I'm sure it will be more stable when the final release comes out.

What exactly happened ... ?

Blogger was down for a couple of days, but mysteriously the Blogger Status page says nothing (well, as of the time I'm posting this.)

Mysterious. Suppose people will be unhappy?

Tracking the price of gas?


If you're interested in the price of gas, and oil, and why gas is so expensive right now, go right to the data about the industry and investigate for yourself: This Week In Petroleum, from the U.S. Department of Energy. Lots of charts and graphs, and analysis.

Work

"Every man is proud of what he does well; and no man is proud of what he does not do well. With the former, his heart is in his work; and he will do twice as much of it with less fatigue. The latter performs a little imperfectly, looks at it in disgust, turns from it, and imagines himself exceedingly tired. The little he has done, comes to nothing, for want of finishing."
