Mozilla bug - can't get out of whistler

I live in British Columbia, and as many people may be aware, our biggest city Vancouver is hosting the 2010 Olympics.

Well short drive north of Vancouver is the mountain community of Whistler where they will be holding many of the alpine events.

To get to Whistler from Vancouver you generally take the "sea to ski" highway. Earlier this week the highway was closed from a massive rockslide which they think will take another 4 or 5 days to clear.

This really sucks for those planning a trip to Whistler for our long weekend, but what of those people trapped up there? I should tell you it's not totally isolated - there are other routes in and out of whistler.

All this rambling of mine leads up to this: There is apparently a group of Mozilla developers "trapped" in whistler. They were there for a conference. As developers usually do when they hit a snag, they filed a bug report on their software bug tracking system:

Check it out and read some of the "solutions" It's good for a laugh.

Gotta love Gmail

I've had a Gmail account for a few months now, and recently (if you didn't already know) everyone got an April Fools day present - more capacity. twice as much actually. Its funny though - My email inbox has sat at 1% capacity since then - even though I have been getting emails it's still at 1%. What that means is that the inbox is growing. And it is - I started at 2053 megs and now its at 2098 megs. It seems to grow with each email I get. I'm not complaining - in fact I like it. goodbye Hotmail!!

Trailer Trash

For a long time I've been lead to believe that the term "trailer trash" was a derogatory term. But I've been thinking about this for a while and I realized that that is not the case. In fact I believe that I am trailer trash. Not only that I'm proud to admit it. You see, to me "trailer trash" represents a person (or group of people) who just don't give a shit what anyone else thinks of them. It has nothing to do with the fact that they may or may not live in a mobile home, it has more to do with an attitude, in my opinion. For example, in the city where I live, lots of people are more concerned with keeping up with their neighbours, or what their friends think of them than should be. I've lived my life these past few years just how I want to. I don't care what others think about me or how I live my life. And we've tried to instil that into our son - that he be more concerned with how he feels and not what others think. Because let...
