uzbl, the return, part4~ no, er 3.5

uzbl, the return, part4~ no, er 3.5

(ok, technically i started writing this on what i'd call day three... but lets not quibble over that.) [edit- (it's later than late for me)]

starting to notice that what i most want is the ability to add ads to the adblock list, on the fly, "click click done*". ...not gonna sort that out now... i'm sleep deprived like a mofo.

*gone from my sight forever, effortlessly.

... hehe, or perhaps a do-gooder script for uzbl would b rly nice.

ads n pop-ups on megavideo for example... gurrr.

a moment of clarity...

double fudge.

fumbling around, feeling like forgetting everything i was doing, so able to work with... get this... zero to about a dozen tabs. ... that's it. uzbl isn't the lightest cat around. she doesnt scale as well as firefox with bartab (and noscript, flashblock, adblock, ghostery...)... but then... i dont recall me ever managing to make do with just about a dozen or less tabs with firefox. hence why i eventually ended up getting bartab addon, to help me scale my tab useage even more. i'm not joking here... after some time with bartab addon, (and this is neither joke nor exaduration here...) it was the norm for me to have over 1000 tabs in my session)

the fudge of it... it had created for me the illusion that i was getting more done, because i was looking at more ~ er, no, sorry, that was the illusion trying to slip back in there again. ~ because i was opening more.

this isnt just me, this isnt just firefox. this is loads of people, all over, suffering from "tabs as bookmarks". it's been happening since back in the days when all we knew about was explorer and something you heard of called "netscape" but never had the slightest incling to look out side your cosy little microsoft mesh, because [as incorrectly lead to believe] "thats all there is" and/or "it's the best".

~ er, sorry, getting off the point.

suffering from tabs as bookmarks. why? because the browser is a big slow bloaty thing to launch... it's so precious with all those tabs/windows so fragile and liable to crash, so full of that important data that you're using your important time to see, and you just really really dont want to have to click all those buttons again after having to wait for it to load again after it crashed, and you lost your big precious pile of stuff.

see, it teaches you that what you have is more important than either what you can do, or what whatever it is that you have can do / what you can do with it.

capability > stuff

^ thats the correction for you. :)

that's the re-orientation!

greater-potential-ward.

^ that's the heading/direction.

y'know... come at it with a philosophy of what's best... n keep looking for the best best you can find, the biggest, the broadest, the smartest, the ~


sorry, wrong blog. ;)

tonight it's free software rambling, with digit.

oh, wait, but that's right, free software is at it's roots savvy to philosophy first, it's a philosophy of synergy, and reccognises you only get there with the liberty, the freedom, the libero, only get the synergy that propells us all to be better than we can be alone, that we're all scuppered and diminished a little bit any time someone takes without giving, that doesnt synergise, and not only that, attempts to stop all others from synergising too.

if you're reading this and you've been on foods laced with any glutamates, or drinks laced with aspartame, then you might fail to catch a thought of that size there.

(if you're reeeeeal savvy n on the case, you'll have seen what i did there. ;) dimensional.) *snortyscoff*

stopping the synergising? dont they see that no matter how much they take n try to build their totalitarian singularity, they'll always ultimately falter too? yay, they might be the last to survive, but they'll still fall to ultimate bottom obliteration and ultimate nothingness oblivion. syngergising... as yaz would say... the only way is up.

and i'll add... "P.S., you're not a dot."

~

er... so anyways... uzbl.

it.. uhh.. helps you connect the dots.



i wonder what would be involved in making a button row for it... a fully configurable.. ;) y'know... for the firefox kids. ;) get them in on the candy(1), n hit them with the er... candy(2).

(1) the pretty button candy
(2) the unixy goodness, the interoperability n completely wide open potential for configuring n tweaking and making your own, making wow, making new innovations...

i wonder what'd be the lightest, simplest to configure way of getting that tight n tidy pixel perfect "gui"... i know uzbl already uses gtk... but since uzbl seems so accomodating... i wonder if we could see about using something lighter n simpler... hrmmm, fltk? no... no.. something simpler and more reliable... hrmm... i wonder what those haskell toolkits are like...

no, stop, that's just my haskell lust talking.

i think i'm past where i should have stopped this blog post now anyways. :P
