I almost went on overtime today… because the business decided to do some changes because somebody slipped… well they were blaming the system… and I wasn’t about to accept that nor deny it… but heck, the problem is there, let’s go ahead and fix it… well my superuser of course was pissed off because he might miss his 6PM class… I on the other hand was already resigned to the fact that I’m going to miss the shuttle bus… oh well that’s life eh?

Got this great link for speeding up firefox…

1.Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”

Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”

Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0″. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.
