    I'm one that doesn't really use favorites or bookmarks. In fact just a quick check in all the various browsers on my system shows that all still have whatever the defaults were and I had to search to find where the bookmarks were in Chrome.

    Of course, I always figured I was in the minority on that since everyone else I know uses them. I do have to wonder what part of their user base they talked to that made them decide that bookmarks could be eliminated.

    According to one of the associated official blog posts, apparently they spoke with people like you who are totes the majority of Opera userbase. (There's a general perception that Opera is THE nerd-geek browser for those who love to tweak things.)

    Oh, I take that back, just realized I do use bookmarks on my tablet and my phone since typing on those is so cumbersome.

    See? I have something like 1000+ bookmarks. In folders. Neatly arranged by topic, with subfolders used whenever needed. 'Cause I roll like that.

    Imagine all of them dumped to speed dial system sans subfolders, which is one default page that opens when you press "new tab".

    Which has thumbnails of the site as a press-this button.

    Suddenly, speed dial goes from "speed" to "slow" dial.

    Actually, I've tried Opera about 10 times now and I've never been able to use it as my primary browser, it just doesn't work the way I think.

    For me, having to drill down your neatly organized bookmark list would take me twice as long as just typing the name of the site. :)

    I do see your point about having all of that organization just ignored and tossed on a single page with thumbnails, I'd never find what I was looking for that way.

    You must not go to many sites. But...one little typo and you could end up on a malicious look-alike site. That could cause you a world of pain. Nobody is a perfect typist.

    Dana

    I don't go to a lot of different sites so that's a large part of it. Another part is that I tend to use the history that appears as I'm typing the site as a kind of bookmark. The final part is I tend to use search to go to sites - I'll type in the name of the site in the combined address/search bar and just go to it from the search results.

    Not to say I haven't miss-typed and gotten a bogus site, though I tend to run blockers for most ads and flash as well as things like javascript only letting them through on sites I've whitelisted. That tends to minimize the impact those sites can have.

    Still, I wouldn't recommend that anyone else use my system, it works for me but then it's one I've developed over the last 20+ years of being online in one form or another. Like I said, I think I'm the only person I know that doesn't use bookmarks extensively.

    I hope I do not make my tea too strong by leaving the tea bags for a while or putting in a tea bag too many

    ...that usually does make it stronger.

    I often have the cafe I go to give me two bags so my tea is proper strength. They make it too weak here in the States (both the restaurants/cafes) and tea producers. For home I buy ab brand of Irish tea which brews stronger (larger bags for one) than the American brands. A bit more expensive but the quality is worth it.

    I know, right!?

    At least the voices have been heard and that its coming back. I think I'll roll back until Opera gets their act together.

    Thanks for the help there Ski, I was baffled why I wasnt seeing anything you were telling me haha

    Yeah, I was pretty baffled as well! Jeeze! I like Opera's extreme tinkerability and I don't want to use IE, Chrome or Firefox, I don't like them!

    Sounds like you have acid reflux...official terminology is GIRD (Gastro-Intestinal Reflux Disorder). You should talk to your doctor about this. Untreated it can cause a lot of damage to your throat. I take omeprazole 20mg for it and have only had two or three incidents in the past decade. Some of the things that cause an incident are eating too late and going to sleep too soon afterward, drinking tea or anything with tannic acid before bed, overeating and going to bed still full. But the root cause is not the food, it's the failure of the "valve" in your throat that keeps the acids from coming back up. As we age it weakens. I don't know why it doesn't happen to everyone. There may be other factors involved.

    Don't let it go, see a doctor about it.

    Dana

    I also take omeprazole 40mg. It helps quite a bit.
    ...also known as GastroEsophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). Not fun.

    Indeed, this is why I give myself enough time after eating to digest before heading to bed. With my old work schedule it bothered me periodically as I'd usually get home so late and had to be up so early (thanks to the epic commute I dealt with) I barely had enough time to catch my breath and make dinner before having to turn in. Staying up a couple hours longer only resulted in myself dragging the next day due to lack of sleep and for a while getting hooked on energy drinks just to stay coherent (fortunately kicked that habit, one of the brighter spots of my being laid off I guess).

    Getting a serious "snootful" the evening before can aggravate it as well, particularly if hard drinks are involved.

    I also sleep with head slightly propped up (have one of those "adjustables") which helps not only with reflux, but also promotes improved breathing.

    Blech, dull as dishwater today. I should enjoy it while I can!

    I found a hotel in downtown Portland that's next to the MAX line - Hotel deLuxe - reasonable rates, good location. This will make it super-simple to get to/from the airport, it'll be rail!

    I might have to slide my plans by a week and fly out the 17th. instead of the 10th. to cover the extra expense, but it beats a taxi or bus. Flights are easy to come by but the cheapest ones leave here way too early, argh! I don't want to be catching a 6:10AM flight out!!! :bug:

    Plenty of time to sit n' think about it all, I won't have booking money until the first week of September, if all goes well. :blank:

    Reminds me, got to shop on the way home and load up on cheap eats and cheap beer!

    If you have to drink instant you could always order Starbuck VIA from Amazon (or pick it up at your local grocer). I prefer the Columbian and occasionally the French Roast but if you like a more espresso like flavor the Italian isn't bad.

    You could also get a Keuring Deskpro for your desk. Again you can usually find the k-cups at your local grocer. If you catch them on sale they work out to less than 0.70 a cup which is hard to beat even out of a machine. If you have coffee deprived co-workers you could charge them $1-$2 a cup and pay for your coffee with a little extra :).

    We have the Keuring and when my wife is traveling that's what I use since brewing a whole pot of coffee for just me is a waste. We got the My K-Cup reusable filter so we can use our favorite ground coffee as well which makes it even cheaper.

    No complaints with my Keurig. I'm the only coffee drinker in this house and I love being able to pop in my choice of K-Cup, push the button, and a freshly brewed cup of coffee appears.

    ...Letsee checking schedules and fares on Southwest,com: For your departure on the 17th, you can leave at 9:50AM and be in Portland at 1:40PM one stop (but with no change of plane) for 159$. The return trip still looks best with the 3:05PM departure arriving in Austin at 10:15PM (shortest layover) with a connection in Denver for 146$. Total fare: 305$ including all taxes.

    ...and again you get to take two bags for free which on most other carriers can be up to an additional 50$ or more each way.

    ...thanks for the comments. Been getting a lot on the Growing Up thread as well.

    She really does look like a kid, not just a "Mini-Me" of an adult figure. Can't wait to try recreating Leela and her friend Tracey, however I need the G2F Body/Head morphs for more shaping control (both girls are very slight of build).

    I know there is a way to transfer Genesis Classic morphs to G2F, but it still seems a bit complicated and thus easy to mess up on. Besides, my base Genesis has all the V4++ and Steph4 morphs loaded through GenX so I don't know if it might cause issues since the GenX plugin is currently incompatible (though in the revision process).

    Dana

    Depends on if you have it set to shut off automatically or not. When the unit is actually off it doesn't keep the water hot. It takes 4-5 minutes from the time you turn it on to be ready to brew. Once it's on then it keeps the water hot so it can brew right away.

    I have ours set to shutoff after 4 hours, the longest you can set it other than no auto shut off. If I use the regular coffee pot I have it keep the warmer on for 4 hours as well so I figure it's about a wash energy wise, maybe a bit more.

    So if you're only going to make 1 or 2 cups then you could just shut it off after each cup and wait the extra few minutes each time. I've done that at night when I felt like a cup of decaf.

    She really does look like a kid, not just a "Mini-Me" of an adult figure. Can't wait to try recreating Leela and her friend Tracey, however I need the G2F Body/Head morphs for more shaping control (both girls are very slight of build).

    I know there is a way to transfer Genesis Classic morphs to G2F, but it still seems a bit complicated and thus easy to mess up on. Besides, my base Genesis has all the V4++ and Steph4 morphs loaded through GenX so I don't know if it might cause issues since the GenX plugin is currently incompatible (though in the revision process).

    Doing some really good work KK :)
