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.

@TylerChacha Agreed, I wouldn't want to split my time between a bunch of chat rooms. (Hence, why this is typically the best place to fine me.) 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
