Out of the Blue

Fed up with Chrome almost always starting up with a complaint that it hadn't been shut down properly, I did a little Googling to see if the source of this problem could be identified. I found threads on this dating back years, with the most tried and true solution being to uninstall the browser, delete all its orphaned subdirectories, and start from scratch. Not having the time or inclination to subject myself to all that, I tried a secondary solution that involved deleting some .tmp files Chrome seems to have generated somewhere along the way. This seems to have mostly cured things, though I had a single incident since trying it. Hopefully this will stick, as it was a bit of a pain.

Is that the version with the pterodactyl that types your code onto rock tablets?

This is quickly turning into tease Blue day. I have an excuse, I'm on painkillers...

In all seriousness, if it ain't broke... don't fix it. Re-inventing the wheel (or a website) every X years might feed a consultant's family (or give a programmer something to do) but it's boring and only a handful of users ever notice. The projects I despise the most are "Let's migrate from platform X to Y for this website/application because Y is newer."

Keep on trucking Blue... besides Slashdot you're the only site I've visited since the 90's... and I'm not here for the whiz-bang features and eye-candy.
