No it isn't .. I just check and now is now and your post was your now, not my now.

This is the thread that never ends, it just goes on and on my friends ... because 'now' is something of a moving target.

Trying to login to mozilla's horrifically broken website to report that an addon (clickweather, 1.1.9, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1035 and read the reviews) bricked my brower. Going back to an old version isn't possible because their mask out the old versions with some sort of "don't let the user install this" code. 1.1.8 worked here 5 minutes ago, now I'm told it "won't work with my version". No prob., I'll leave a note for the developer. That requires signing up. Their registration process chases its own tail and goes in "type what you see" circles, then they finish by mailing from a user "nobody". How does "nobody" send mail? This is also the default user of a compromised Apache install, so lots and lots of spam/phish also comes from "nobody". Registration attempt #1 killed by junk mail rules. Attempt #2 to gmail since I'm not letting my own mailserver drop trousers just to accomodate mozilla.org's bad mail practices. As it turns out, even with successful registration, you can't login, even with cookies, javascript, java, and the kitchen sink enabled. Keep clicking "login" and you'll end back at .... login or register. Thus, there's no way to tell the developer that his extension is flopping and users and abandoning it like a sinking ship. His "contact" link sends you to weather.com, where you might be able to guess there's no real contact email, only....drum roll please.... more broken Javascript web registration code! I give up. clickweather axed. I'm sending Firefox to the fur coat factory.

This is a dream, right? A nightmare - someone wake me!

And lo, I acquiescently exclaim, my "Google!" paraphernalia from afar, whilst said illusion of subjugated mediocracy was consummated in an elicit explicit harrowing abend inadvertently kindling exasperation until the culmination of incontrovertible and irrevocable affirmation of plenary cessation by reason of precarious overture when undertaking rather bourgeois video and flash entertainment. Quotidian avocation shall envisage consistent, stable efficacy.

Man, I am bored.

It's an English puzzle, LOL. I was really bored and had something to say here, so I though I'd make a little fun out of it.

So...

I was happily browsing Youtube...
