I was poking around the Reliability and Performance monitor in Windows and I saw that Safari had crashed four times in one day. I went on to see that it had crashed a lot. So I counted how many times it crashed since February 2 to now and I did the same with Firefox (2 and 3) I found that Safari crashed 35 times while Firefox crashed 3. This did not come as much of a surprise because although Safari may be fast its one of the worst Windows Applications ever made.

My husband just called me from work and asked why I hadn't posted since this morning. SO CUTE! Work must be really slow for him. I can just picture him sitting at the computer, alternating between ESPN.com and this blog, probably hoping for some pics of the cats. :)

I had a great workout this morning. I could only spend an hour at the gym (boo) so I tried to make it really intense. I did 45 minutes on the elliptical while watching Project Runway and then did a heavy leg lifting circuit in the free weight room. My legs felt like jell-o when I left. Good!

My post workout snack:

Haut dans les cieux, que s'élève la fumée de combustion de la bruyante idiote, combustible de mon feu de camp pour cette Complainte ! Après l'invasion des CADÉ (les cons et connes avec des écouteurs, ces maudits passagers qui se promènent dans les transports en commun avec leur baladeur à tue-tête), voilà que j'ai croisé une CAUS: une Conne Avec Un Speaker.

Publishing News is closing shop on its print and online news operations. These seems sad and a little depressing to me. I like The Bookseller and I have enjoyed the way their website has grown more functional and useful over the last year or so, but a bit of competition never goes astray.

Speaking of The Bookseller, Penguin CEO John Makinson has a nice little piece online there about the forbiding nature of the Publishing industry to outsiders.

In OS X Leopard, we have something called a "stack". Basically, this is just a quick, accessible way to specific folders in the dock. Within this there are a couple view options including a list or grid. In the grid view, you are greeted with a plethora of chaotic info thrown at you (assuming you have a large amount of files in that folder) and its hard to find the exact thing you want.

Apple has released firmware version 1.1.5 for the iPod Touch. Are there any differences between this and 1.1.4? No, not really. Well, at least not visually or feature-wise. It's only a security update meant to improve stability and speed. It's available on iTunes. And by the way, this isn't the alternative to the 2.0 software update for $9.95!
