2005 Resolutions...

Thought about this a bunch...and still not sure what it is for this year. I am obviously going to do ANYTHING it takes this year to get down to at least 150 lbs, to include surgery or a "liquid diet." I am planning on maintaining my high level of academic success thusfar. Perhaps, I should hope to ACATUALLY have a girlfriend this year, as that the enterity of 2004 I was withouth one...

Oh and if 2005 is as a bad as 2004 was then suicide might be a viable option.

Dick Clark not Rockin' this New Year's Eve

Clark To Watch His New Year's Show In Bed

Dick Clark plans to watch the New Year's Eve television broadcast that bears his name from the hospital bed where he is recovering from a stroke.

"Even though I won't be in New York this year, I will be watching 'New Year's Rockin' Eve' on TV and there's one tradition I intend to maintain," Clark says in a statement. "As I always have in the past, at midnight I plan on kissing my wife Kari and wishing her a happy new year."

The 75-year-old television icon suffered what was described as a mild stroke and has been hospitalized since Dec. 6. Regis Philbin will fill in tomorrow (Dec. 31) for America's oldest teenager on ABC-TV's "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve 2005."

Clark has been "doing some rehab," according to his spokesperson, who would give no details about the impact of the stroke or discuss whether there was paralysis or impaired speech, as reported in some tabloids.

The spokesperson insisted that there is no cause for alarm and said doctors are thrilled with Clark's progress. For privacy reasons, the name of the hospital has been withheld.

Clark's wife and children have been visiting the entertainer at the hospital and there has been a huge outpouring of support from friends and fans, the spokesperson said.

Clark, who went from hosting "American Bandstand," "Bloopers" and game shows to producing such ceremonies as the American Music Awards and Golden Globe Awards, has been a television New Year's Eve tradition for 32 years with his shows originating from Times Square.

Make Firefox Go FASTER!!!

Found this article on how to make Firefox go FASTER!!!

Here's a great go-faster tip for Firefox, the free, rock-solid, secure browser from the Mozilla Foundation:

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.
If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now!
