Yea so ill do recap of my whole weekend. Friday I had an amazing workout with Arash. I easily benched 130 8 times, so i guess tomorrow ill increase to 140. I think im going to work out with him once during the week from now on, he really gets me motivated. I think I need to buy an MP3 player, good music really does help pump you up. That night I went to Analotia, the food was great, I really want a job there. Dad's been complaining about how I need to focus on homework and grades over a job. Saturday, woke up and did a bunch of exercises for Visual Basics. Which sucked, then went to a persian New Years party, everything was great, but the dude singing and playing music really pissed me off. His voice is shitty. Today I really did nothing except beat my dad in raquetball twice and painted basement.

Firefox Tweaks - Making your browser faster
First off I suggest you get Firefox, its what I use. I love it, it features Popup Blocking, Tabbed Browsing, Heightened Privacy and Security, Smarter Searches, and You can even add Skins, which are called Themes, and Extensions, or Add-on's for it, which are always nice.
Next type 'about:config' in the address bar. As you can see the list that comes up is a registry looking list. By editing this list you can edit the way Firefox interacts with you and the way Firefox interacts with the web. What we will be doing here is editing this list in a way that, well it may be stessful toward server's you may browse, but it will allow you to surf with the speed of light. Its noticable on 56k. So Find and Change these options:
Option: Value:
network.http.max-connections 64
network.http.max-connections-per-server 20
network.http.max-persistent-connections-p
network.http.pipelining true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests 100
network.http.request.max-start-delay 0
Then add this by right clicking and adding a new > integer
nglayout.initialpaint.delay 0
These few are optional
network.http.max-persistent-connections-p
network.http.proxy.pipelining true
network.http.proxy.version 1.0
As i said before, these settings are considerably faster, BUT they put a great overload on the sights you go on.
