Feel like utter crap today?

Don't worry, you're not alone... According to this article, January 24 has been identified as the most depressing day of the year.

So relax, have a drink, and rest assured that brighter times are on the horizon!

Firefox performance tweak

Off-topic for this blog, but I figured I'd share anyway... I have no clue why it works or what it's really doing, so if someone reading can fill me in and tell me if this is a bad idea...

Anyway, in Firefox open a new window/tab and in the address bar enter about:config and hit enter.

Then change the following values:

  • network.http.pipelining to true
  • network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to 23
  • network.http.proxy.pipelining to true

End result: Firefox seems quite a bit faster. Again, I have no idea what's going on here, but no complaints yet!

Thanks to Lorin for this tip!
