What is it with this search from address bar stuff? It annoys me to no end, and I have always turn it off in Internet Explorer. (To do so in IE7, go to Tools->Internet Options->Advanced->Search from Address bar->Do not search from the Address bar.)

So, I was trying to cut/paste a link into the address bar of Firefox 2, but I guess I messed up, and whatever buffer holds copy/paste data still had my previously copied data. I hit enter without thinking, and next thing I knew, Google was telling me it found no search results. While it was just a copy of my last blog post in that buffer, it could just have easily been something else.

I really don’t like this feature and did not realize it was even available, let alone turned on by default, in Firefox 2. To disable it in Firefox 2, browse to “about:config”, and set “keyword.enabled” to “false”. Good riddance.

This being a weekend and all, I might as well throw in a weekend post. So, speaking of searches, you may remember this – well, fun times taking a quick peek at recent log entries.

Somehow, we have become associated with dating advice…

In my neighborhood in NoVA, I once had a barista that liked me. She doubled the size of my drinks, which was quite nauseating when what I wanted was a triple espresso and instead received a giant coffee cup of espresso; however, I don’t think that fraud and nausea necessarily indicate romantic interest, so that is of no help to you. What may be of interest to you is that, when I talked to her about not giving me these horrific cups of espresso, the resulting conversation ended with a phone number exchange.

And, look at what turned up again…

The list of places I go to may have changed, but the necessity of showing ID at all of these places has not. Anyway, my ramblings of late might be of use to you.

Oh, and the icing on the cake…
