I caved to it's majesty a lot quicker than I thought I would. Well, it didn’t take long, but I’m back on FireFox now.

It's always maths... but UAI doesn't really have much to do with anything once you've done your first year at uni, I don't think. As for tabbed browsing, try looking at Avant or Maxthon. They're browsers that are built off IE, but they also have extra features like tabs.

It looks no different to the shades in your little article header image. I also see you've still got the "Stop IE" thing going. Brought a smile to my dial. I liked FireFox, I really did, but I've seriously cut back on the sites I visit to the point where I'm just trying to watch streams that won't let me view them outside of Internet Explorer (such as the website for The Apprentice 2) or download some random crap using an outdated... <i>thing</i> (FilePlanet, unless I'm missing something). I have to say, though, while I'm completely off-topic that I miss tabbed browsing. I keep clicking links with the mouse wheel and grumbling under my breath. And I miss the download manager. IE hasn't stuffed me around like it did back in the day <i>yet</i>, but there was just something so reassuring about saving a movie trailer in FireFox. I expect in a weeks time I'll be back on the bandwagon. Getting back to the matters mentioned here, though, what was your UAI? I don't know if that's the thing I mean, my knowledge of the education system outside of VTAC and the ENTER are limited (to be honest, I don't really comprehend them, either) but I think you know what I mean. I <i>really</i> dig the additions, there's something very cool about that textbox resizing. I, too, enlarged and shrank the box several times whist typing. I hope the novelty never wears off.

At the moment we only cycle through five, so I'll work on getting more up. We could probably do with having more links generally, I think.

I would love to see this feature on some forums and what not (It would also be great for updating aelon blogs, that text box is a little thin). I just finished my last final yesterday but my college next sends exam specific results, only final grades. If I want my exam results I have to seek out the professor and ask them for it, which I usually don't do because as long as the final grade is to my liking I could care less what its made of. Although I stayed up reallllly late the night before my last exam due to unavoidable reasons and had to consume ridiculous amounts of coffee the following morning. While I was taking the test my hands were shaking like crazy, it was awesome in a way. I can barely remember what I wrote thouigh.
