Almost Famous.
Safari.
So I bought a macbook a couple of months ago. Not the fancy pro like I’ve been drooling over for years, just the plain little macbook. Even though it’s not the fanciest of fancy, it’s pretty darn fantastic. So since I have this fancy new macbook I have decided to try all of the apple software. For years I’ve been a loyal firefox cheerleader. And then Mac showed up.
Safari and I have been getting to know each other. For the most part it works fine. I don’t expect much from my browser: Work. Work well. Open new pages in new tabs. Search bar on top. Really this is all quite standard on even the crappiest of browsers. But there was one thing I had come to rely on that I didn’t know I’d miss until it wasn’t there: The bottom bar.
You know the one – the thing that tells you where you are about to click to, before you click. The thing that tells you, as the page is loading, where it’s pulling information from. In the two months that I’ve been using Safari I’ve tried to get used to not knowing where my clicks were going. Finally tonight I got fed up and googled.
People, it’s hidden: View/Show Status Bar.

I have to admit, the idea of facebook usernames is nice. I like that I can send friends to facebook.com/username to get to where I want them to go. No longer do I have to wonder if they know how to spell “jaime” properly, because nine times out of ten, they don’t. I see one little limitation in the system though: I’d like to be able to tag photos with my username instead of the formal name. Maybe this option is on the horizon, but as of tonight I am unable to do this.
ps. I got facebook.com/killerspice I’m SOL if my derby name is rejected. ;)
