By the end of the day I always end up with far too many of them open, a minute ago I did have about 20 open in one window, and FF was using 280Mb of ram, it’s worth it, but slows down my PC like mad.

Is there actually a name for having far too many tab’s? I mean, it can’t be good (for you or the computer), half the time I look back at them and wonder where the hell it came from.

Ah well, FF tabs still beat IE tab’s :P

Even if they are hungrier.

It is an excellent piece of software for brainstorming, previously I tried to use Inspiration, but it’s just soo big and clunky, FreeMind is the total opposite, it’s easy to use, you don’t need top faff around to get everything working nicely, and it does it’s job well. I’d totally reccomend it to anyone who want’s something to organise their ideas/projects, its just, well, great! I can’t believe I haven’t found it before, previously whist searching for Brainstorming software I got huge lists of paid-for stuff. But recently I’ve found a nice little trick, put “open source” before whatever you want, there seems to be a great open source version of everything.

I just tried to install it and it threw up a few permission denied errors when writing httpd.conf during the final stages of installation. I’ve not yet googled to see if there is a way around it, but, for the first time (in a whole 28 hours) i have to say I’m a bit dissapointed with vista, this means i can either:

  • Wait until [or hope] apache is sorted for use with vista
  • Use my webspace, but that takes so long to to transfer stuff over FTP
  • Set up another computer as a server

I am thinking of doing the latter, as that means I can get a bit more experience with linux, also it’ll mean that it removes the need for additional stuff to be running on my computer, that I don’t use all the time, and finally I can get rid of all the stuff (photo’s, software, videos) that are shared over my network. I just need a hard drive(s) to store it all on now :)
