advice colums please me
1.) Have embraced Firefox. Joy is mine.
2.) And more interestingly.
While reading Dan Savage's column archive, I suddenly had severe cases of semi-deja-vu. In which I stared blankly thinking, wait, didn't I read that in SV? Didn't I read that in SGA? Wait. I have that fic open right now! Wait. I wrote a fic like that!
I'd also like to respectfully ask someone, somewhere, write about a lube syringe please.
New words that will move into my active vocabulary as of today:
pegging
What I have learned regarding bondage:
Do not leave them alone and gagged for fear of manslaughter charges.
(I was thinking, what if you left a cellphone in range in case of an asphyxiation emergency? Would that make it safer? One button calling? Poke with toe in case of emergency?)
That is all.

randomness
From:(ok, and. Let's try this, randomly.)
John backed away. "What is that?"
Rodney glared. "What does it look like?"
"But -"
"You don't like sticky tacky fingers, well. Here."
The way Rodney waved - it - around was... John gulped. "Uh. I think maybe -"
Rodney snorted. "You're going to lie down and relax."
John winced. Shut his eyes. Laid down.
(ok, didn't really get there. But you get the idea...)

Re: randomness
From:Gasping for breath, John finally relaxed.
Faintly, Rodney landed next to him. Squelched. "Well. That didn't work."

John rolled up and out of bed with a wince. "Dibs on the couch."

From:adlkfj;asdkfj There are so many reasons that would be a bad idea. Potential coldness in bad places. And thank you for the spermicide flashback. Which um. Used an applicator. Not a syringe.
Also, maybe a panic button? Or bell? Which doesn't help if you black out, I suppose.

From:Mistress: You pushed the panic button?
Rodney: I feel something pinching - I might be losing circulation, and then I'll get gangrene, and...*whipsh!* *girly noise*
Mistress: You were saying?
Rodney: Nothing Mistress.

From:Also, have you crashed your computer yet? When you do and you re-open Firefox, you'll be pleased to see that it offers to restore your session. Click yes and it will open every window and tab you had open, as well as all the history information. I discovered this after crashing my computer with 15-20 internet-related things open, so needless to say, I was very happy.
(I second the bell idea. Although unconsciousness would be a problem. I suppose you could blindfold them as well and then they wouldn't know if you were still watching from out of their hearing range.)

From:The column in question: Why do Mexican chicks yell for their papi during sex?
Um, yeah. In this case you get a much better grasp on cultural differences in the story, plus a WHOLE STORY. The pairing is Rodney/Ronon, and there are fantastic little background themes going on with John and Teyla and John's little scientist friend whose name Rodney cannot remember. And, oh, it's such a good read.
Also, yum, firefox.

From:And YAY, FIREFOX! I see you've already embraced Greasemonkey and the LJ Thread unfolder, so I may be preaching to the converted here, but... My add ons, let me show you them.
~ Restart Firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1249) - first thing you want to install. Adds a button to the File menu which allows you to close and reopen Firefox with one click. Very useful when changing themes or messing with extensions. Weirdly, this is not built into Firefox.
~ Themes - themes are awesome! There are literally hundreds of themes (skins), which you can find here (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:2). My personal favorite is Noia 2.0 (eXtreme) (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/72), but there are a lot of new ones since I last looked.
~ #1 most important extension = Adblock Plus (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865). Makes everything that annoys you go away, including banner ads, those damn fugly LJ icons, animated mood themes, and oversized pics outside a cut tag. Zap!
~ Download Status Bar (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/26) - replaces the download window with a handy status bar. Love this!
~ BBCode Xtra (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/491) - an extension I cannot live without. Gives you a handy right-click menu for HTML coding in LJ comments and other forums that use HTML coding. Makes bolding, underlining, italicizing, and creating links so easy, you will cry.
~ Forecastfox Enhanced (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1978) - a status bar widget that displays your local AccuWeather forecast and a scroll-over animated radar map.
~ Print Preview (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/314) - adds a print preview button for your toolbar. Seems simple, but Firefox doesn't come with one. Saves printing extra pages of unneeded stuff if you're printing web pages.
~ Tab Mix Plus (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1122) - adds soooooo many useful and needed tabbed browsing functions, including an Undo Close Tab and a Closed Tabs list, context menu options for duplicating tabs, and my favorite, making Ctrl-Tab scroll between tabs in last-used order rather than left-to-right. Also includes a Session Saver with more functionality than the built-in Firefox version.
~ IE Tab (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419) - and invaluable add-on for those pages that just refuse to work properly in Firefox. Adds an icon to the status bar which you can click to reload a selected tab in IE. Also adds a context menu option to open links in an IE Tab, and an option to select bookmarks that should always open in an IE tab.
~ Update Notifier (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2098) - notifies you when updates are available for your extensions and themes.
Enjoy! And if you have any Firefox questions, I'd be happy to help. :-)

From:I find it very interesting that pegging appears to be quite a recent phenomenon, though the technology involved has been available for thousands of years.

all serious-like re: bondage
From:I felt certain that it included bondage, and I was thinking what would be an acceptable panic button in case he got out to put gas in the car or buy a coke. Only a few minutes, sure, but anything could happen. (My mind brings up the aggressive/stupid bystander who tries to get me out of the car to rape and kill me, but, well, welcome to my brain.)
I was thinking 1) a way that I could get myself out of bondage, coupled with the honor system that I wouldn't use it unless some kind of emergency was going on and/or 2) a way to reach his cellphone, even if he's only 50 feet away but out of eye contact.
For a mindfuck, it's easy to close the door and stay in the room with the bound/blindfolded person. They think they're alone, panic, etc. Very yummy. Alternately, they make these tiny (Ancient) video cameras for monitoring bound (or working) girlfriends or scientists or flyboys. In the real world, battery operated and remote.
I couldn't in good conscience leave a helpless person for more than the 30 seconds it took me to pee. I could watch them secretly for hours, though. Yum.

From:I've tried firefox, but I haven't figured out how to change hotkeys on it yet and since breaking myself out of a 7 year habit of using ctrl+n to bring up a new tab is hard, I'm still on Opera.
