testing post from scribefire. This was supposed to post on the blogging page but ended up on the main blog. I'm now using wordpress to post this. I'll try the same thing only there will be a series of periods after this.

Make Firefox faster

If you have a broadband connection, you can use pipelining to speed
up your page loads. This allows Firefox to load multiple things on a

page at once, instead of one at a time (by default, it’s optimized for
dialup connections). Here’s how:

• Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return. Type
  “network.http” in the filter field, and change the following settings
  (double-click on them to change them):
  
  
  
  • Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”
  
  
  • Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”
  
  
  • Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to a number like 30. This will allow it to make 30 requests at once.
  
  
  
  


• Also, right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it
  “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0″. This value is
  the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it
  receives.

LIMIT RAM USAGE

If Firefox takes up too much memory on your computer,

you can limit the amount of RAM it is allowed to us. Again, go to
about:config, filter “browser.cache” and select
“browser.cache.disk.capacity”. It’s set to 50000, but you can lower it,
depending on how much memory you have. Try 15000 if you have between

512MB and 1GB ram.

REDUCE RAM USAGE FURTHER WHEN FIREFOX IS MINIMIZED

This setting will move Firefox to your hard drive
when you minimize it, taking up much less memory. And there is no

noticeable difference in speed when you restore Firefox, so it’s
definitely worth a go. Again, go to about:config, right-click anywhere
and select New-> Boolean. Name it “config.trim_on_minimize” and set
it to TRUE. You have to restart Firefox for these settings to take
effect.

Switching From Windows Live Spaces

After useing Livespaces for about a week I am starting to realize Blogger has way more features, is easier to use and load way quicker.

Having a hard time getting anything finished!

I think I'm trying to balance too much at once. I am simultainously creating blogs, web pages, rendering graphics, researching a host of topics,recording music,editing music, all with no help and no direction. My advice to myself get something finished and go to the next, focus on ONE thing. So I'm asking what do I need to get finished first? I'd like to get The Capoeira page finished first, we'll see how it goes!!
