It's been a loooong time since I've been able to browse download.cnet.com without having Firefox freeze on article pages. Something's very nasty on that site (or Firefox/one of the plugins I use is very bugged). Some guy on mozillazine suggests to enable cookies from cnet.com, but I'd rather not: there must be another way

Anyway, AdBlock comes to rescue. Just add a filter blocking http://*.i.com.com/*.js and the problem vanishes.

This article is a must for people who was had a "web presence" 10 or more years ago: http://www.comedycentral.com/tosh.0/2009/10/26/goodbye-geocities/

Sometimes it's nice to look back at how things were and see all the progress that's been made since then. When I think at how my homepage looked in 1996 and compare it to the web applications I develop now for a living, with all the AJAX and scriptaculous fun, I can't help feeling old(ish).
