Here is a small mystery that I still haven’t figured out. Why is it that the houses in Seattle (and the rest of the States?) have such high numbers? You enter a street of 20 houses and the numbers start at 11689 or something else in the thousands. Now it this was a isolated case I would have assumed that is because that avenue or street started somewhere else, but I have seen this strange phenomena so many times that I can’t help asking what the deal is. Anyone?

Once again it’s time to book mark a few things for my own future reference.
-ASP.NET Development Helper is an excellent tool that makes ASP.NET development easier. - Become a Photoshop Expert; provides links to a few good sites on getting tips on working with PS. Useful for an amateur like myself. - FreeDNS - Free DNS, Dynamic DNS, subdomain and domain hosting - “Why is it free? It’s quite simple. We wanted a challenge… that’s it.”
And finally I came across an article about Le Parkour, some sort of sport where you do move that I would hurt myself doing (like jumping off the roofs, running up walls, jumping and spinning around at the same time over an obstacle. For a introduction check out this video that I found on video.search.yahoo.com. Pretty impressive…

With 512 megs of ram om my laptop and having installed some 100+ applications it doesn’t take long until I have 10+ tabs open on the Firefox. This came with a cost until now, ie huge amount of RAM being consumed (if the websites you go to have any sort of flash). This fixes the problem though:
1)Type about:config into the location bar and press enter 2)Right click any line to bring up a sub-menu 3)Choose “new”>”integer” 4)paste this into the dialogue that appears: browser.cache.memory.capacity 5)Next click Okay 6)Specify the amount in kb (about 70000 should do) 7)Restart Firefox and voila.
