• I was surprised to wake up and see snow.  I need to pay more attention to the forecast because I didn’t see it coming.
• I wore my scarf to work, and I liked it.
• I got a sample box of MultiGrain Cheerios with my newspaper yesterday.  I think I’m going to eat them for breakfast, but since I’m already at work, I’m going to have to eat them dry.
• I got to work an hour early today so that I could turn in a report early before anyone finds that it is missing.
• Saturday night I only got 4 hours of sleep, and then didn’t get any nap on Sunday.
• Last night I got 7 hours of sleep (12am to 7am) and I probably won’t get a nap today.  Tonight I must get a full 8 hours.
• Why is it that weekends are more exhausting even though they are suppose to be relaxing? It reminds me of the hurry up and relax mentality.
• I finished watching the first season of 24 last night.  The last few episodes of the season were about to expire from Hulu, so I thought I would hurry up and watch them.   I’ve seen all the other seasons, but I had never completed seeing the first season, so it was great to get caught up.
• But there wasn’t ever a moment of being caught up with watching 24, because even as I was watching the old episodes, new episodes were being aired on TV.
• I wasn’t thrilled with the ending of the first season, because it seemed that they intentionally mislead viewers throughout the whole season.  I’m okay with shows that throw twists into the plot, but not when they purposely try hard to get the viewers to believe one thing only to have the opposite be true.  This was the case with Nina Meyers being a mole in CTU.  Of course, I knew she was because I saw all the later episodes, but I didn’t like how hard they worked all season long to make it look like she wasn’t.  As a curious person, I like to be given little clues so I can try to figure it out myself, but instead the producers gave little clues that she was a dedicated agent, and then surprise she isn’t.  I think it would have been more interesting if I were to watch the season, having pre-knowledge that she was a bad agent, to see little indications of it that you wouldn’t pick up on without the pre-knowledge.  Ok, enough of that soap box.
• Happy Birthday Lori, if you read this.
• I was suppose to bring the last of my homemade pizza into work to eat for lunch, but I forgot.
• I’ve been trying to get Boxee working on one of my computers, but every time I launch it, it seems unbearably slow (and the graphics seemed pretty messed up).  I think that maybe if I get the 3d proprietary graphics drivers working, then maybe it will work better as well.

I’ve been using it off and on for the last month, and I’ve found a few missing features that really bug me:

No Feed Viewer. When viewing an RSS or Atom feed, such as the one on my site, other modern web browsers will format the feed nicely and perhaps give the user subscription options. With Google Chrome, the feed text is displayed completely unformatted. This makes using and subscribing to feeds with Google Chrome extremely difficult.

No full screen mode. Sometimes, especially on laptops or when I’m giving web-based presentations to others, I like to put my browser into full screen mode, to maximize the viewable area of the webpage and to remove distractions like browser navigation.  With Firefox or Internet Explorer, you can press the F11 key to enter full screen mode, however there isn’t such a mode in Google Chrome.  Seeing as viewing a presentation in Google Docs is best in full screen mode, I find this missing feature a surprise.

No built in spell checker. I’m a big fan of having a spell checker built right into the web browser to spell check text fields.  Google Chrome does not have this feature.  So if you see any misspelled words in this post, you can blame it on the fact that I didn’t have a spell checker built in.  The Google web browser toolbar does (or at least used to have) a spell checker, so I find it surprising that this got lost in their web browser.  I would think this feature would be essential for a web browser that is looking to be a web application platform.

No browser certificates. One of the least used features in web browsers are the use of browser certificates.  While most web sites use a username/password credential pair for authentication, some can use a browser certificate for authentication.  While these web sites are very rare, they can be very important in some businesses.  This missing feature probably won’t effect many people, but it could be a deal-breaker for some businesses when they are choosing the best browser for their enterprise.

No page settings for printing. Normally, when a page prints, there are additional headers and footers such as page number, date, title, and web page addresses.  In some cases this may be helpful, but in other cases I may not want this, such as when I’m printing off a web-based document for distribution to others.  Google Chrome has no way to customize these page headers for printing.  Having customizable page headers is important for a web browser that wishes to be a framework for applications that may want the user to print.

1. It has been 8 days since I’ve done this. Over the last month or two, I average doing this about once every seven days.
2. It has been 20 days since I’ve last eaten this.
3. It has been 48 days since I’ve published this. In those days, 889 people have benefited from this.
4. It has been 58 days since I’ve experienced this, although I’m not likely to announce the details of this publicly.

Please feel free to guess what this is by leaving a comment.

The 178th Annual General Conference of the Church will be held on Saturday and Sunday, April 5-6, 2008. Speakers will include the First Presidency and other General Authorities and general officers of the Church. There will also be a General Young Women Meeting on March 29, 2008 at 6pm MDT.

The General Conference sessions will take place at:

• Saturday Morning, 10am MDT
• Saturday Afternoon, 2pm MDT
• Priesthood Session, Saturday 6pm MDT (broadcasted only to select meeting houses)
• Sunday Morning, 10am MDT

Sessions last two hours each, and can be viewed at select meeting houses, select TV, radio and satellite stations, or on the Internet. Video streams are available at LDS.org, BYU-TV, and audio available at LDS.org and on KSL Radio.

Special highlights of this General Conference will most likely include the sustaining of President Monson as President of the Church, and the calling and sustaining of a new apostle.
