internets

Figured out how to configure Squid to filter out about 90% of the advertisements on websites pretty much regardless of which web browser or operating system I happen to be using at the time. Flashing screen garbage when I am trying to read something is really painful.

Somewhat relatedly, gave Chrome a whirl. There are countless little things that I like about the spunky little browser, but nothing terribly earth shattering. The comic Google released to explain it was made by the same guy who did Understanding Comics, which was pretty brilliant and approachable, even if you aren't a comic nerd (which I'm not). This comic seems more geared for developers though. Given Chrome is only Beta guess that makes sense.
