Something that I seem to be coming across quite frequently as of late, definitely falls into my “things that must go” classification. Resizing my browser window!

I HATE when I go to a web site and they’ve set a javascript or something to resize my window. I DESPISE, ABHOR, LOATHE and DETEST this practice. Don’t mess with my browser! I keep my browser window sized to emulate 1024×768 resolution, except for times when I change it to emulate 800×600 for testing purposes.

If you are a web developer and you feel the need to resize the browser window, do it in a pop-up. Have your index page just be a link to your stupid, resized pop-up window. Just don’t change my settings.

One of my favorite bookmarks that I initially bookmarked to use for testing, but have found it a good fix for lame development that changes my browser’s window size is: Favelets. There’s a whole section that will resize your browser window to several preset specifications. I highly recommend this site.

It’s raining, It’s pouring. I won’t have to water my lawn tonight!

I would go take a picture of the rain and the hail, but there’s no way I’m venturing out of the building right now and I won’t/can’t take a picture out the window because it’s covered in water. Just trust me, it looks pretty fierce outside right now.

This is the current radar pic for my area. I’m right in the middle of the red area.

Now let’s just hope I don’t have a flooded basement, or the water from my yard doesn’t run into my neighbor’s basement!
