Did you know about this? I didn’t. Thanks to some random surfing and an EFF post, I just learned of it.

As useful as Google spell checking is, it doesn’t measure up to the value the Wayback Machine has had for me.
I love the Wayback Machine. I want it to have my babies.
I finally got around to testing the Firefox 3.5 betas since beta 4. It’s only been 8 days and I’m now using my fourth version.
I’ve gone through a couple of primary browsers across a couple of different operating systems and operating system versions.
What’s even more unfortunate is that I’ve had multiple backups where there were different changes to different versions of things. Fortunately I’ve been semi-active on keeping my links lists up-to-date, otherwise I might have bookmarks from 1998 in Neoplanet from back in my 16-bit Windows days.
Macromedia Adobe Flash is a stupid idea that has been implemented badly. Hell, since day 0 the entire concept of browser plugins has been shaky at best. Seriously.

For a very very long time, I’ve wanted a proper backup solution for Linux.
UPDATE: Firefox is a pig when in use, but not when idle. It turns out that GMail is the pig!

srsly.
Don’t get me wrong, It’s my main browser and it looks like it’ll stay that way. I was using it when it was called Phoenix, and then Firebird.
But boy is it a memory-leaking pig of a program.
