Re: W-H-I-Y-L It's over 1000!!!!! (pages)
Currently posting via Steam while I experiment with the Steam browser.  It's... not so great.  Resolution issues, responsiveness issues, and just not as intuitive as it should be.

EDIT: fixed the resolution issues, at least.  Responsiveness still awkward, to say the least.  As soon as I find out how to open more than one tab, it might almost be functional.
It supports middle-clicking, albeit somewhat awkwardly.  God forbid you venture anywhere near something using Flash though.

It plays Pandora, and is significantly less memory intensive with an equal number of the same tabs open than FF (or at least the session I was using.  I only tested once, so there's probably some error in there), so I might actually use it for somethings.  Not everything though.  Not by a longshot.

Because writing your own custom XML interpreter and renderer is stupid if you can just use webkit or something similar.

It's actually a really handy tool if you want to do something like look up a guide on GameFAQs or a forum posting while in the middle of a game, especially since not every game out there plays nice with alt-tabbing.  I just wish it wasn't quite so glitchy.

Finally got around to watching the 'There She Is!!' animations on NG, and took a direct hit to the feels. Now I'm going to play some DarkSouls to balance out the fuzzy feelings with some good old fashioned gamerage.
If you hit it and it bleeds, you can kill it. If you hit it and it doesn't bleed...You are obviously not hitting hard enough.

I can't get a well rested bonus worth a damn
I'll go to sleep, wake up, and yearn for more
And after yearning for more after an additional four hours, I still yearn for more

It's like this perpetual desire for sleep which is obliged, but never fulfilled

Driving me nuts as I can't for the life of me figure out a logical reason as to why

I understand this, and I'm certain I know what it is:

You lack physical and mental stimulation. Dull tasks make for a dull state of mind, and lack of exercise slows everything down. You probably can't or shouldn't pass on the dull tasks, so do some exercise and tend to your body. Your brain should feel better as a result as well.

I drank too much last night.

My body is telling me that this is a bad thing.

This.

Exercising on a regular basis has improved sleeping for me by so much. Not only I do I feel more rested after I wake up, I also have sane sleeping patterns.

I'm thinking of getting back into running. Is anyone familiar with C25K (Couch to 5 Kilometres)?

Otherwise ATM I gym 3 times a week. On Stronglifts 5x5 if anyone is familiar with that, though I'd recommend anyone who's keen to start lifting and has access to a good coach/personal trainer get on Starting Strength, but that you'd already know if you've done your research.

Also had a good day at the beach today, and am nursing some nice burned feet from the hot sand. Must invest in thongs. (yeah that's right, they're THONGS, ya' bastards) :D
