I feel like death. I couldn't sleep for ages last night, then when I woke up assuming I had just beaten my alarm clock I looked at the bugger, after blearily rolling myself a cigarette, and discovered it was 4.15. Then I couldn't go back to sleep again...

I've been collecting curious public transport announcements, which shows how bored I am. My favourite was on the train to Liverpool: "The next station will be." Which is certainly an interesting philosophical proposition but somewhat less than helpful. Still, at least they didn't say "station stop", a form that seems to be obligatory on SWT and leaves me utterly bemused. "Passengers are kindly requested" to do this that or the other simply irritates me: I'll be the judge of whether your request is kind or not.

Ah well. I've just uploaded a fair number of posts on a variety of things: I backdated them so you will have to go to my journal page to read them, they won't appear on friends' pages. This is deliberate and done for precisely that reason.

(I'm glad to hear that the "friends" concept is being taken to pieces this month by the way, for those who aren't aware, my understanding is that in particular they want to make a distinction between "things you read", "people you trust enough to read locked unfiltered posts" and "people you are actually happy to call "friend".)

Apropos of something completely different, is anyone else using Mozilla 1.6 finding it noticeably less stable than previous versions (at least on Windows)?

Insomnia is ever so much fun, isn't it? :(

What's all this with the friends filtering thing? That sounds a little bit complicated.

I'm assuming they'll make it reasonably simple to understand. I think that what they are intending to do is to partly replace how filters are used. We shall see.

Still feel like poo. Good thing I have nothing to do.

Ah, I see. Well, okay, whatever floats their collective boats, I suppose.

Hope you feel less poo-esque soon, sir. *hug*

I am also frequently amused by Public Transportion communiques, although in NY the tone is rather different.

My favorite is the sign posted by the transit authority that says 'Would it break your heart to move all the way into the train?' You gotta love a sarcastic public authority.

The announcements on the Sydney trains are usually straightforward and helpful. They aren't too good at remembering to make the announcements though. My problem with the trains was that at my platform at the station a train from a different line would come through once or twice a month. That was just rarely enough that I didn't think to check where it was going. Rather boringly, they now have reliable signs up that say where the next train is going.

I haven't had any problems with Mozilla 1.6. Is it particular pages that give you problems or does it just crash at random?

Random, but I think it's the mail client bringing it down. May be Mydoom related, possibly.
