I clicked on one bookmark and had to wait for the tab to load before I could open the second bookmark. Usually, I open both bookmarks one after the other.

I opened Task Manager to check how much memory it was using. It was over 580MB!

Particularly since my main computer at home is a laptop, the less I have to move the cursor, the better.

I installed Google Screensaver on my work laptop also. The thing was that the usual keyboard shortcut that I usually use to lock the screen, ctrl-alt-delete, did not immediately activate [...]]]> http://takethu.com/blog/2007/06/01/activate-google-screensaver-with-keyboard/feed/ 0 How to Install Applications on Linux http://takethu.com/blog/2007/05/29/how-to-install-applications-on-linux/ http://takethu.com/blog/2007/05/29/how-to-install-applications-on-linux/#comments Wed, 30 May 2007 04:23:14 +0000 Thu Tu Koelling http://takethu.com/blog/?p=293 I found this page today that finally helped me understand how to install applications in Linux: HOWTO: Use dpkg to Install .deb Files:

The previous issues that made me revert to Firefox 1.5 after attempting the upgrade:

Lost bookmarks

It turned out what made the bookmarks disappear upon upgrade was that [...]]]> http://takethu.com/blog/2007/03/22/upgraded-computers-to-firefox-2/feed/ 0 Lost Bookmarks in Firefox 2.0 Upgrade http://takethu.com/blog/2006/10/25/lost-bookmarks-in-firefox-2-0-upgrade/ http://takethu.com/blog/2006/10/25/lost-bookmarks-in-firefox-2-0-upgrade/#comments Thu, 26 Oct 2006 05:02:40 +0000 Thu Tu Koelling http://takethu.com/blog/?p=184 I decided to upgrade to Firefox 2.0 despite it being officially out for only one day. The upgrade process was really quick. When I restarted Firefox, I noticed a huge empty space where my bookmarks used to be. I thought, no problem, I’ll right-click on the toolbar and enable Bookmarks. But it was already enabled.

I happened to have my laptop with me so I took it with me.
