The world ends every year on Dec 31. That's why we celebrate like there's no tomorrow on New Year's Eve. Then the world is recreated from backup on Jan 1.

Ugh. I wish Firefox had an equivalent to Unix's "top" so I could figure out which tab is responsible for "101%" CPU usage.

I think it's called "Chrome" =)

Does Chrome have an equivalent to "Proxy Button"? (I guess it's a bit ironic that the need to easily switch to using the Google corp proxy is part of what keeps me on Firefox...) Also, this was on my Mac, and Chrome is pretty rough on the Mac right now.

I don't actually know... I'm still using FF on my mac too.
- Jim Norris
Laurence, MacOS lets you set proxies on a per-network basis. Why are you setting browser proxies at all? (Safari knows no such concept, and neither does Chrome for Mac.)

I hear you with the browser proxies Laurence and there is a hacky workaround for setting up a browser proxy in Chrome. Shoot me an email at work and I'll tell you what I did to solve the issue. Chrome has been a champ for me otherwise.
- EricaJoy
Daniel: I'd never thought to look in the system prefs for HTTP proxies, but I now see that I can set different proxies for different "locations", and these seem to apply to Chrome. Thanks.

I don't think Firefox even knows which windows are taking up your CPU -- I imagine its single-process architecture makes that rather difficult to find out.

Power Socket SWITCH does away with need to unplug - http://www.ubergizmo.com/15...
Typical form over function design. Sure it looks neat, but my wrist hurts just thinking about twisting a power plug like that. How about this design: put a light switch on the plate above the outlet. Much easier to use, you can actually tell if it's on or not at a glance, and it doesn't require an instruction manual to use.

BLDGBLOG is all sorts of awesome.
- Amit Patel
When I first read Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke (back in grade school) I misread one part to think he was talking about natural nuclear reactors. When I later re-read the book I realized my mistake, and was a bit disappointed because natural nuclear reactors seemed like such an interesting idea. Now I find out they really existed!

Meta: I wish Friendfeed would copy the first comment (if it was from the sharer) as a comment, similar to what it does for items "shared with note".

Back to the original topic: Yeah, BLDGBLOG is neat. This post got awfully woo woo at points, though...

Homebrew CNC hot wire foam cutter - http://blog.makezine.com/archive...
Tracy liked this
I've seen CNC foam cutters before, and "I don't want styrofoam parts" (yes, except for Lego heads) is exactly what I was thinking. The link to the article on lost foam metal casting has me thinking twice, though. I admit that I'm not sure if I'd be comfortable handling molten aluminum, but the idea of being able to "print" cast aluminum parts (with a few manual steps) has me tempted to try.

YouTube sends to Google Reader & Twitter. Friendfeed reads from Reader, Twitter & YouTube, sends to Twitter. Activity graph manager needed.
Really what I want is better de-duping, but in the meantime I've started pruning connections to prevent dupes from appearing.
