Welcome to the IHoP v.2

[///M5 2,833]

 

14 tabs open right now in the main browser window, 3 other browsers open with 1-3 tabs each.  

And how the hell do you know which one to go to where?  Without tabs I get a list.  Uber easy.

 

You must have a smaller screen, or, no that's it, you must have a smaller screen.

 

I opened 14 tabs and though I can't read the full title of each tab, I can read enough to know what each tab is. Plus I can have two windows open with multiple tabs in each pertaining to a group of interest, ie: vomit porn, and job applications, and I rarely mix the two!

24" is small?  No difference IMO from my 13" laptop to my desktop screen.  Tabs just suck ass to switch between.

Or say you post in the Ihop about some fancy word I've never heard before. I can hit crtl-t for new tab, search the word, get the definition, hit crtl-w to close the tab and go back to the ihop.

 

Without tabs I don't know how the world could exist.

Or ctrl-n for a new window, search and alt-f4 to close it.

 

Just replying alone in the hop makes me HATE tabs.  SSA updates slow enough that I usually have 10 windows open by the time I've caught up.

I have concluded a few things after trying Chrome:1. It sucks with a lot of tabs open, compared to Opera2. It's slower than Opera in some aspects3. I much prefer Opera's control scheme (how ctrl+tab works, how to switch between adjacent tabs, mouse gestures)4. SSA looks crowded with all the images loaded. So I'll just stick to quoting people whenever I hear about a picture and keep using Opera. For me Chrome is better only on Facebook and Yahoo Mail 

I fucking hate tabs.  Why did anyone ever think they were a good idea.  Someone without a widescreen obviously.

I feel the exact opposite.

Seriously?  Why are they advantageous?  When you don't use them you can have a full list of what is open and click on anything, alt-tab/mouse to whatever you want instantly.  With tabs you have to sort through all the shit.

 

Holding Ctrl+Tab shows me a list, just like Alt+Tab. 

and when you do it in windows the list is always open, no need to click shit

I don't mind tabs at all, I normally use 3-4 per window, rest are kept open as references to look at, reminders to order items, other emails open, etc.  My taskbar doesn't show any program/window titles, just the icons.

Taskbar on the bottom is dumb IMO.  Widescreen format isn't so useful unless you can double so the real estate to make a real bar on the side is key.

256 colors on a 15" CRT is all you need, natch.

Yesterday I was given a 24 hour turnaround to work the night shift. I got a text this morning while I was snoozing: "change of plans. we will be switching to nights on Saturday." Shit. "take tonight and all day tomorrow off, come in Saturday night". 24 hour turnaround turns into 72. Noice.

Well I've switched the taskbar to the left and ditched the unlabeled icons, I'll see what I think of it...

Envious. I am busting my fucking ass 5 days a week 12 hours a day. I would kill for a nice 72 hour turnaround... but I can't complain about the pay. Averaging 150 hours turned each pay period... but still, time off would be killer.

I told them I was burning out. They threw me a bone after having me cover a few extra shifts.

I'm having a slow month anyway.... LoL

I just helped the trainee kick ass all over the place though. He was excited and told me he was happy to work with me and not the normal trainer.

Oh, and FWIW, I am tired of working on Jeeps. Today alone I built a front diff on an 04 Grand Cherokee and repaired broken wiring in the door jam(4l), replaced a leaking block heater and heater hoses on a 2004 4.7l GC, diagnosed and replaced an upstream 02 on a 98 4l GC, and diagnosed a bad drivers door module taking down the network in a 2000 GC, 4.7L, and a leaking trans pan and reverse light switch in a 99 4l Wrangler.

 

Yes, well over 20 hours turned on Jeeps today. We specialize on those pieces of shit.

Apparently they didn't get enough work done today so I'm going to have to go in tomorrow night. Jinxed myself

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

Came home from the day shift yesterday and managed to stay awake until 4AM this morning before going practically comatose for 11 hours so I should be okay energy wise.

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

Fingers crossed.

[dem beats 1,223]

I need an 11 hour crashfest.
