I Vant Avant
For some reason, the other day my Avant Browser died on me and I can’t use it any more.
It didn’t crash or anything but what it did do was start opening every tab I’d ever opened in the tab windows.
You know the way Firefox lets you open tabs on the bottom (or on the top)? – well you could do that with Avant and you could set it to have your recently opened tabs open the next time you started the browser.
That was great for me because website I would have forgotten about in the meanwhile, would be right there in my face as soon as I went back on the computer. That could have been 5 tabs open or even 10 depending on what I was surfing.
However, for some reason it started reopening tabs. So if I had 5 tabs open the time before, this time I’d have the 5 and then the same 5. And sometimes it would be 50 tabs that I had opened at some time on some day. I don’t know WTF happened with it all of a sudden.
So now I’m forced to use Firefox. And I keep accidentally closing it. Which, of course, means that I’m starting brand new again with only my home page showing every time I open it.
And I have that big prejudice against Firefox anyway. I guess since I always hated Netscape, I don’t like the idea that I’m using Netscape now.
Alright, enough whining. Yesterday we went over to help my ex with his move to his new place. I didn’t offer to help move him, my son was helping with that.
I did offer to go over and arrange his furniture and put up pictures, move stuff to the appropriate rooms where things belonged… that kinda stuff.
What I did end up doing mostly was cleaning. God that guy lives like a pig (and that living includes my daughter who is the biggest perpetrator of throwing garbage all around the place). But everything he’d brought over needed cleaning and that’s what I did. We couldn’t even put up half the pictures because of the cement walls – we need to drill, plug and place for that and the toolbox was nowhere to be found.
The bad thing was that it was pouring rain yesterday and he didn’t bother renting a moving truck, instead he was using one of the pick-up trucks from his work. So he couldn’t take a lot of things over because there was no cover for the truck and things’d get soaking wet. Luckily he had moved some of the bigger items the night before.
By the time I got home (at 8:00 p.m.) I was stiffer than a big stiff thing. I guess sitting at home for 9 months has not exactly used whatever muscles I was using yesterday.
Thankfully, today I don’t feel too sore. I can get up and sit down without having something to brace myself on to push myself up.
So now I’ll just go relax and hope I’m all recuperated for Wednesday.

is the new 30. I want the world to close their mouths when they’re eating or chewing gum. If they don’t, I want to elbow them in the face.
I’m sure you tried uninstalling and deleting properly and then re-installing Avant, right? How about Opera? Have you tried the newest, ad-free version of it? Maybe it doesn’t make all the sites look horrible anymore — who knows!
And here I am, surfing in on a Firefox. How daring. Well, I only use it on the side of Mozilla because I don’t have a RSS feed reader plugin for Mozilla.
