In Which I Should Know Better Than to Update Things

[mousapelli]

1. I couldn't update Firefox (no matter how much it told me to) because it would have broken Snaplinks.

2. Finally I caved and dug around and ended up with Multilinks, which is the same idea, and installed that. Which promptly put some doodad down in my status bar that doubled the height of my status bar and I couldn't get rid of. I hate change!

3. While I was fucking everything up, I went to install Rikai-chan (which I constantly call Rikia-chan like the dude from Five), and then couldn't get the hotkeys to take for toggling it on and off, despite several restarts.

4. Then, despite the fact FF had been bothering me for days about updating, I couldn't find the "just update" button now that I wanted it. Why on earth isn't that in the application dropdown like every other application ever? why?! Finally jackoweskla put me out of my misery and told me it was at the bottom of the help dropdown, where nobody in their right minds would ever find it.

5. Firefox updates to 3.5.2. Rikiachan's hotkeys finally work! And now there is a retarded "Add a tab!" plus sign in my tab bar which nobody with two brain cells would need and my status bar is STILL twice the height it's supposed to be. I HATE CHANGE.

6. Thank god everybody else hates change too. this gets rid of the retarded plus sign, and this lets you move around or thankfully get rid of anything in your status bar.

7. After an hour and a half, I'm exactly back where i started. Hooray! Although a few days ago I did get a javascript thinger that I put in as a bookmark on my toolbar and now works as an instant "make any LJ page my layout" button. GENIUS.

so i take it comments regarding upgrading to snow leopard would be frowned upon?

Depends. Is this going to be a decent upgrade like from from 10.2 to 3 to 4? or is this going to break all my shit in half again?

Cause frankly I just did that last year and I'm not in any hurry to pay somebody a hundred bucks to do it again.

supposedly it's more of a tweak upgrade than a full one. it's smaller and faster and runs more stuff in 64-bit. and the new quicktime stuff alone would probably make it worth it. you get most of the paid app features free now.

also it's $29, not $100+, so that's a bonus. ^^;

i'll be picking it up when it comes out so i can let you know. granted, i'll be doing a clean install and not an upgrade, but i'll at least be able to tell you if the firefox plugins will all work. XD;

i didnt like the upgrade at first because you know when i download video files it doesnt show up on my desktop anymore and i have to go search for it.
