If you’re reading this on LiveJournal or an RSS feed, which StatCounter and the lopsided distribution of comments suggest that you are, you may not have noticed all the lovely new changing Route 96 banners. Oooh. Aaaah.
Did you know you can force Firefox to reload cached images (in order, for instance, to cycle through the lovely new changing Route 96 banners) by holding down the Shift key while pressing Reload? To do the same thing in Internet Explorer, um, let’s see. How about you grab the keyboard and smash it between your eyes real hard? That could work.
That Shift Reload trick also works in Mac OS X Safari. Just sayin’.
Love that desert starry sky pic! God, I wish we could get rid of urban light pollution so everyone could see the night sky like that every night. I think people would be a little less ‘me-centric’ and jaded, and society would be a just a little better off if we could all see the night sky like that every night.
Behind that crusty exterior, you’re a big old nature-loving softie, aren’t you?
But I don’t disagree. There is nothing like getting out under a really black sky with billions and billions of stars. It is always startling how vast the universe is. One of my fondest memories of this road trip (not chronicled yet) actually was when we just stopped the car in the desert somewhere in West Texas to do just that.
For IE, you can force a reload by pressing [Ctrl] [F5].
I couldn’t find this in the help index
but I somehow have known this for a while. Perhaps it’s my psychic talents!
