Comments on: What is your homepage? http://www.terminally-incoherent.com/blog/2008/07/21/what-is-your-homepage/ Utterly random, incoherent and disjointed rants and ramblings...

Even the word "Homepage" sounds so arts and crafty! Homepages are for homeboys! about:blank-about:blank-about:blank is the way to surf. :) My homepage is Yahoo! in Netscape Communicator 7.0.

Just to make sure the Internets are working! - at work, iGoogle, Gmail, and a few tabs with last visited sites. - at home, last session, whatever it is. I tend <strong>not </strong>to run webapps in Firefox, and use <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/da/firefox/addon/6665" rel="nofollow">Prism</a> instead. Of course, it is kinda Firefox, but without the clutter of tabs, toolbars and the like. It depends…

I typically just leave my firefox install with the firefox google homepage. I did play around with the extention for firefox that gives you a schedualed homepage, and such... but I just didn't like it. I personally just like working with just a few tabs... because how i browse I follow links of links and typically open them in new tabs... so by the time I am done going though a blog or wiki or something... I am at 50 open tabs anyway... I don't need my other sites to add into that... if I am not viewing them they don't need to be open. I am not niave to how easy your life can be with tabs and an auto start lineup... but I just don't have a need for it. I remember the sites I like. /side story, I took my friends laptop once, and set his homepage to like 3 sets of meatspin and tubgirl… and then a lot of other random shock sites… so it would take him forever to close out of them all.

It's ok, but recently I happened to unwillingly use sessions a lot because Firefox and Hardy in general keep crashing on me (especially at the end of the day). I can't get bothered to manually restart at the end of my work day, so I just push the off button and leave it like that. So of course I just restore the crashed session the day after.

Firefox 3 has been annoying me by opening the homepage I set before I switched to sessions every time I open a new window... might have to set that to about:blank to solve that one, or find a clever-er way. What severely pisses me off is when a page opens some other little page (a selection box, very rarely some kind of pop-under, whatever) that I don't notice until I close the main window. It then becomes the session that gets saved, so when I re-open FF all I get is whatever stupid thing it was that opened without my noticing. Whatever I was looking at when I closed my browser.
