Firefox - Performance
I usually use Firefox on my Mac instead of Safari simply because of the availability of A9 and the Google bar for Firefox. But Firefox's performance was really sub-par compared to its performance in Windows and Linux. I read somewhere that some people had disabled Flash from their browsers for performance reasons. I did that last night and the improvement has been an amazing. Now I can browse quite a few tabs compared to the time before I disabled Flash. Update: Maybe its Macromdia's shitty implmentation of the Flash player
Blogging about Blogs
If you look at my blogroll, you'll notice that there are a whole bunch of blogs by folks who seem to blog on company time, and I wonder if they spend so much time on their blogs during work hours, then how do they get any "real" work done? May be they're smarter, or they make the hours they actually work count more, or they just type on their computers feverishly pretending their busy. :-)

The Legend of Mel, a Real Programmer
This sounds like an urban myth.
