Studying studying studyingCategory: school
It's my fifth day of isolation. I ventured out for hot chocolate on Saturday and Monday. I need milk, sugar, cranberry juice and ginger ale but I've got too much studying to do to leave, instead, I'm writing here!
First final is tomorrow morning- Corporations (e:heidi,49944). I hate the Wall Street Journal. Here's a study limerick:
Walkovszky v. Carlton
Walkovszky was hit by a cab
Would Carlton pick up the tab?
No, limited liability
Has social utility;
Undercapitalization is fab!
- Jeremy Telman
Second final is Friday afternoon - taxation of nonprofit organizations - where I'll get to discuss the fine points of 501(c)(3) qualification and the Unrelated Business Income Tax (UBIT).
Sunday is the estrip potluck!! (see how bad I need it?)
Last final is next Thursday - federal individual income taxation. I'm looking forward to it because it's multiple choice, the test will be considerably easier than it could be, and the prof (whose name happens to be Heidi!) doesn't like gray areas so the exam is very clearly black & white.
And then I'm done! Halfway through my JD. Yea!
In other news, the Save Our School coalition packed the Mansfield High School auditorium (at least 450 people) Monday night to express its hope that the Southern Tioga School Board will renovate North Penn instead of closing it (e:heidi,50116) Newspaper article The crowd sang the North Penn alma mater, did crowd cheers, the girls volleyball & basketball teams read off one fact about the potential impact closing... Jill said it was a very moving experience.

Chrome vs. FirefoxCategory: geek
I made a whole-hearted attempt to integrate Chrome into my online life, used it exclusively for over a week. I decided to return to Firefox because Chrome couldn't handle LexisNexis and would occasionally balk at Hulu. I really liked the right-click > open in new tab as the top option, the google search from the address bar, and my most visited sites on the page that opens when you choose new tab. I like the concept of "incognito" browsing, but I didn't use it.
Have you tried Chrome?

my only experience with chrome is: when I am on locked-down computers at work, that run only @#$#@% IE, and I go to a site that won't work in IE (mac's mobileme, for one) and it recommends safari or firefox. But, since the computers are on lockdown, I can't install anything that needs admin rights, so I can't install firefox, but I can install chrome. It does seem to launch super fast, but I really haven't played with it. I use (and like) safari, myself.

On my netbook, I tried using Chrome three times now since February. I feel indifferent to it. I don't have anything particularly bad or good to say about my experience with it.
I keep going back to Firefox because it is what I know, it continues to serve me well and there haven't been any issues using it on either the netbook or the laptop.
I have also used, SRWareIron but haven't used it enough to form an opinion. Firefox just keeps drawing me back.
I never use IE.

I first migrated from
IE to Opera (a decade back)
Opera to Firefox back and forth(around 7 years back)
Firefox/Opera to Chrome (when Chrome hit the net)
Chrome to Firefox (when there was just too many background shady processes and updates going on in Chrome, a month into Chrome)
Firefox to SRWareIron (when Firefox was UNBEARABLY slow and took a whole 4 minutes to boot - about a year or two back)
SRWareIron to SRWareIron portable (because I don't relish installing programs and believe everything should work out of the box without messing the registry and requiring admin rights on any computer)
SRWare Iron to Chrome Portable :::link::: (Current, a month into usage and liking it till now )
And no, I don't foresee going back ever to
a) Firefox
b) Any browser that requires installation/admin rights. Portable software is the way to go.
