• Woke up with a catastrophic migraine this morning. How’s that for a great way to start your first day back at work? Actually, I was way too clobbered by this thing to even think about going in to work. If migraines were ranked like hurricanes, this would be a Category 4: extremely nasty, but not as bad as it could have been. I’ve had two or three Category 5’s in my day, and words simply cannot describe it.
• I’ve been trying out Google Chrome for a few hours, and I’m favourably impressed. To the average end-user, it won’t look like much of an improvement (if any), but in my geek world and with my browser usage patterns, it’s quite remarkable. Very fast page rendering, nimble handling of AJAX sites, and much cleaner system resource utilization than I’m used to. Two drawbacks so far: no plugins (yet), so I miss AdBlock Plus; and the scrolling sensitivity is way too high for my scroll wheel, and there’s no way to configure it. I’ve been a hardcore Firefox fan since back when it was called Firebird, but Chrome shows some real promise and could become my everyday browser.

• I’m planning on ceding this space to more scintilating messages from Lord Edmund Bryll in the future, so consider yourselves warned. Sir Reginald Lapel may make an appearance, too, if I can remember just what the hell his deal was. Be good and Alchi-Man may stumble by for a word or two.
• Ever been to sea, Billy?
