I have been meaning to give XFCE a try, just because I'm a fan of lean-and-mean. But, I'm still not comfortable enough with linux, so I stick to the more popular things.
@GeorgeMarian - I find other WMs are a bit overrated. They do some things well, but never feel like good all-rounders. Gnome is just .... my bestest friend.
Except when nautilus eats 800Mb of Ram for no reason
Hrm, in less interesting news, I feel like I'm digging myself a hole with this code. Anyone want to read my mind and point me in the right direction? ;)
Okay, here's a simple application I've created to do this: Video Link Generator. Give it a try and tell me how well it works. If it works reasonably well I think I'll bake it into a userscript.

[ However, what to call it? While the "LAMP Room" has possibilities, it doesn't exactly follow that CSS & JS would belong and "WebDev something or another" is too broad.
@TimStone To answer "more seriously, what's the problem?" the problem is that I have just used Maven for like the second time in my life, by copy-pasting, and need to read the documentation. But thanks for offering to help.
@GeorgeMarian I've only ever tried their beers. Not really a fan of fruity beers, so I didn't really enjoy them. I suppose it's more acceptable in wine? I don't drink wine at all.
Lovely how everybody here's complaining about snow. Once I get back to somewhere nearer to the equator I should post something like "What's this snow thing everyoone's going on about?"
The temperature here should allow for snow, actually, but it's just dipping slightly below 0 and 'tis the dry season, so no snow for, say, the next month or so
@YiJiang Perhaps...I'm a little disturbed that his thought process went "I can't wait for my son to grow up.....Hm, I sure as hell hope he has Wikipedia."
@TimStone The close button also drops a cookie I think (or is there a "Stop showing me these things" button) that removes the message from all new pages for a while
@GeorgeMarian Yeah, heh. Although right now I was just trying to delete some sections from this XML file, not really sure why that was an application-freezing process.
@TylerChacha Yah, I'm hoping to add a second monitor this holiday season. Not sure what the gf has planned for a gift, but if it isn't a second monitor I'm buying one soon. Assuming our elected officials don't eff-us over unemployed schmucks.
I hate this crap. Not that the vacation isn't nice and all, but I just have to do something. Even if I were to win the lottery I'd be working. Likely for myself, but I would still be working on something.
I actually like them both equally. However, Coke made me angry, so I started buying Pepsi exclusively for a while...now Pepsi has gone and done the same thing (I think), so meh.
Personally, i think Coke, made with real sugar, in a glass bottle just barely edges out Pepsi, but just barely. Pepsi, with real sugar, in a glass bottle is great.
i didn't even bother with the new flavors of Pepsi. I got a free bottle of Pepsi Max once from Pizza Hut. It wasn't bad, but I wasn't excited about it.
On the Coke side, I was a fan of Coke Black (which was Coke mixed with coffee, somehow deliciously), Enviga (carbonated green tea drink) and Red Vault. All have gone away, heh.
Admittedly I could see the first two having more of a niche market, but Red Vault clearly trumps Green Vault, so I have no idea what they were thinking there.
I dunno what the issue was, college students drink alcohol, no matter how hard you try to stop it. GTF over it and drop the drinking age back to 18. sheesh.
@YiJiang How is that a surprise? We invented the things. :)
@YiJiang I've never really liked alcohol, though my experiences are only 3 fold and not exactly the best of experiences
First exposure was a cooking alcohol that was not cooked long enough to denature it. I couldn't really tell, but it was strong enough to get some people drunk.
Second exposure was Hennessy. I think I can leave it at that.
It doesn't even look enticing, so I never really understood the attraction of a drink which seems unappetizing and which tends to result in more harm than good
