Winter is definitely coming – so cold out today! Or maybe it was just me. Here’s my notes for this week:
- Last night was the Chinese Grand Prix, the last race of the 2005 Formula 1 season. Newly crowned (and youngest ever) World Champion Fernando Alonso won the race. Not such a great year for Ferrari, but here’s to hoping they bounce back next year!
- Midterms for me this week and next. Hopefully they go better than my SOC midterm a couple weeks ago (which I still have not gotten back).
- One thing I hate about surfing the web is that sometimes you click a link only to find out that it’s not a webpage, but a PDF file instead. Then you have to wait for hours while Acrobat loads. Happened to me all the time, until recently when I found the PDF Download extension for Firefox! Basically if you click a link to a PDF file, it will give you some options like opening the file as HTML. Highly recommended if you use Firefox!
- Here’s an interesting live search page I found, called Inquisitor Instant Search. Hard to explain what it does, but give it a shot!
- Work is moving along for Paramagnus! We’re trying to get everything ready for the Podcast & Portable Media Expo in November. More to come on that later!
- If you like a challenge, check out my Dad’s daily trivia. See how much useful stuff you know!

Hey Mack,
A lot of the time that Adobe spends loading up is when it is loading optional plugins that you may not need.
You can remove some that you don’t need to speed up the startup. Check out this article for more information: http://blog.monstuff.com/archives/000084.html
