Opera 9.5 - Loving It!
I’ve been the kind of guy to want to bounce around between technologies just to see what the latest and greatest can provide. Having never really settled on a browser I’ve had the opportunity to experiment and discover the benefits of each one I come across. Although I still rely on Internet Explorer (unfortunately) for some of my day-to-day tasks at work (we use SharePoint), for my general browsing I’ve been back and forth between Flock, Firefox and now Opera. With regard to speed, Opera 9.5 most definitely takes the cake. Although it lacks the flexibility of Firefox regarding addons, and Flock regarding social networking integration, being able to fly through pages and accessing them through SpeedDial is awesome. I have discovered that posting to Tumblr is causing me a bit of grief so I’m going to post to the community to see if anyone else is having any trouble. More later.
Why oh why
It’s mornings like these that make us wondering why we are who we are, or do the things we do. I’m up early to help cover from my co-worker is off today and tomorrow. Having to juggle two positions and two children is quite the challenge especially where we are now. I have found that trying to maintain a peaceful demeanor becomes more difficult as the workload increases. Granted it is all part of life and living, but damn it it’s hard. I’m focusing on staying strong for the wife and kids, to show that life is good and we are happy. It becomes a series of mental games. We can do it though, I know we can. I’ve got a funeral to go to this Sunday, maybe that will help with perspective. I also have my Fellowcraft degree a week from Monday. Taking in more Masonic knowledge and experience will definitely help.
