thelibraniniquityFinally fixed the netbook/Firefox/Hotmail problem that's been bugging me for a few months now - whenever I've tried to get into ny of my hotmail accounts on the netbook while using the dongle Firefox has never let me at the messages, and I've had to use Internet Explorer (erk!) instead.
Turned out there was a Firefox update somehow screwing with Hotmail. Had to uninstall Firefox, and then deliberately reinstall a slightly older version and turn off the 'search for updates' feature.
Bit of an ordeal, but at least now I can read my e-mails in Firefox again \o/
On a more nostalgic note, I've started rereading the Everworld series now I finally have all the books :D Working on the basis of one book a night before bed I'll be finished by the end of the month, and I'd forgotten just how delicious the premise of the series is :D And how short Ms. Applegate's chapters can be sometimes, but it's a teen/young adult marketed series, so meh.
Still got a bookmark in The Engines of God, really should get back to that soon as well!
