Microsoft has run out of things to make!

My buddy Mark pointed out an interesting link to me today. It’s a product that Microsoft is rolling out in Britain called the iLoo. I can’t believe it’s not a joke! Read all about it here.
Should we really be encouraging people to take longer to do their business in public? I mean, in your own home is one thing, but in public, I don’t think people will enjoy waiting around to use the head while someone else is in there surfin the net, even if they can check their email while they wait.
Kung Tunes updated!

Kung Tunes is a great little application, it’s over to the right there, letting you know what I listened to lately. That’s new. It used to just tell you what song I was listening to at the moment, but now it lists the current song, and the 5 songs played before that! And if I’m not listening to music (like probably right now) it’ll show the 6 songs I’ve listened to recently. Cool eh? If you have a mac, and want this kinda thing, pay Adriaan a visit at his site.
IE problem!
Friday May 3, 2002 at 10:22 pm | Filed under Software
You know, when it comes to browsers, I don’t have a lot of gripes about IE. I really don’t mind how it integrates into the OS, and the speed of it is fine, I usually save all my griping for Netscape 4.x. They should have stuck with the throbbing N in previous versions, because 4.x is the worse thing ever.
But that’s not what I’m talking about here. The main problem I have with IE (pick a version, any version) lies within the Links toolbar. This toolbar is a handy way to have the most frequently used Favorites right close by for easy clickin. Sounds all good, but no… If you have more than one IE window open (who doesn’t?) and you click on a favorite that is within a folder on your Links toolbar, it’ll most likely open in another IE window, rather than the one you clicked on the Favorite in. Is that screwy or what? I mean, it’s like a penalty for being organized!
Why am I bringing this up now, after I’ve had this problem forever? Well, I found some people that were talking about it, and even though I didn’t find a solution, (as Microsoft hasn’t fixed this thing yet) I did find solace in knowing that others experience the same bug. Read their misery here.
