stumble-too-long

Jesus. I've been playing with browsers for the last 5 days, trying to figure out what works better than IE7 which is forever timing out and freezing and not responding. Started with Safari, which was quick and has a nice layout and good fonts. Spent the better part of an hour manually adding RSS feeds one by one by one by one, only to find out that they don't actually update themselves at all. Maybe I did something wrong, who knows. Then I decided to try Firefox cuz it has more applications and supposedly has a better system for feeds... so I spend another couple of hours tweaking and importing and playing with settings.... it's better, but still not quite as nice as the feed system in IE (or at least I think). The RSS add-on I have has to be manually refreshed to check for new posts every time.... why does it have to be like that? Isn't the whole point of feeds is that they update themselves? Anyways, I'm tired of fucking around with things so I guess I'll leave it for the time being. But one of the things I did install is stumbleupon... and holy canoli have I spent hours on this thing. You can seriously get lost doing this. And I've learned two things: 1) there is a lot of crap on the interwebs and 2) there are some seriously beautiful photographs out there. And lots of bad ones too, but boy I've seen some pretty pretty things in the last week. And now I need to step away from the computer and get some shit done already. Don't need to waste a day off sitting indoors.
