"fride"
2/15/2002

Today's been very slow. I can't get my mind to work on what it should. So not much to say on days like this.

Other than the fact Kit gnawed on my head for the "kill Spike" comment.

One little bit of sneakiness on my part. I emailed fanfiction.net about all the popups I was getting. No reply. Not surprised. But I can't disable javascript in my IE browser because then it's impossible to use hotmail.

So... I decided not to use IE. Least not for ff.net.

Having decided that, I went ahead and upgraded my nutscape browser to 6.2, made ff.net the homepage there, and just turned off javascript. Now I'm able to surf ff.net in peace and not get a million and one new windows for every click.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to detracted from their need to make some kind of revenue. I can understand, appreciate, and respect it. However, bombarding me with popups is not the way to do it. That just makes me not want to go to the site, or else, as in this case, do something to circumvent the ads.

Maybe if they took a poll, or actually sought to gear adds to the individual, then places banners in perhaps a couple of more places. I'm more likely to click a banner ad that catches my eye, because with popups, the only urge I get is to close the new window.

::sigh::

<Random note> Things I hate in yaoi fics all the world over: When male characters who are not or have not been portrayed as obviously [read: flaming] homosexual in the series/game use the word "darling".

I don't know why, but that just irks me to high heaven.

<another random note> I asked someone to get me some jellybelly beans today. Why? I have absolutely no clue.

As obvious by this entry, my thoughts are scattered and disjointed. I hate that. And I'm tired. I'm going to see if two excedrin, then laying down helps at all.

So if anyone said anything of importance to me and I haven't responded, that's why. Gomen.



 Comments: 1 sigh



**gnaws on Gen's head some more** Does that help?
