Firefox is already fast? Nu-uh! It can get faster! :D

Yes, firefox is already pretty damn fast but did you know that you can tweak it and improve the speed even more?

That's the beauty of this program being open source.
Here's what you do:
In the URL bar, type “about:config” and press enter. This will bring up the configuration “menu” where you can change the parameters of Firefox.

Note that these are what I’ve found to REALLY speed up my Firefox significantly - and these settings seem to be common among everybody else as well. But these settings are optimized for broadband connections - I mean with as much concurrent requests we’re going to open up with pipelining… lol… you’d better have a big connection.

Double Click on the following settins and put in the numbers below - for the true / false booleans - they’ll change when you double click.

Code:
browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs – true
network.http.max-connections – 48
network.http.max-connections-per-server – 16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy – 8
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server – 4
network.http.pipelining – true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests – 100
network.http.proxy.pipelining – true
network.http.request.timeout – 300


One more thing… Right-click somewhere on that screen and add a NEW -> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0”. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives. Since you’re broadband - it shouldn’t have to wait.

Now you should notice you’re loading pages MUCH faster now!

One Very Busy Day

 I went out the whole day yesterday from 8.30a.m. till 2.50a.m. the next day!

First, went to Hazli's house for the BWR play practice. Me and Hazli already made plans on how to surprise Jacintha with a birthday cake. We celebrated her birthday a few days earlier because shes going to Vietnam soon. During the act of unit 1, I tried to act sucky and monotonous so that Hazli would scold me. Then when he marah me....everyone got so quiet. They didn't know it was an act. Then I acted like I was sad so I went to the kitchen and slammed the door but actually I went to the kitchen, took the cake out and light the candles. Hazli went in and then acted like he was shouting at me.When I was done with lighting the candles, me and Hazli went out of the kitchen and started singing Happy Birthday. The look on Jacintha's was priceless because she was so blur until we said Happy Birthday to Jacintha hahahahahaha.

The practice was from early morning all the way up to the evening around 4-5pm. Around that time, I went back home and mandi and everything and then went to Pizzahut at City Mall because it was Fera's Bday Party. When I arrived there....only got two people. Arlene and another girl which I'm sorry I forgot your name. A few minutes later the birthday girl arrives and also a few other people. Then after eating at Pizzahut, we went jalan-jalan all around City Mall.

I came back home at around 10pm. Jasmine came to pick me up a few minutes later because we were going to go watch Avatar. I'm sorry I was late going out of my house because I couldn't see your car. We arrived at GSC around 11pm+ I think. The movie started showing around 11.45pm. Avatar had VERY NICE GRAPHICS, EFFECTS whatever you call it and also LONG as well.. Because It ended sometime around 2.20am. Do the math. I'm lazy. :). Arrived back at home around 2.40-2.50am. My parents already slept luckily my sis opened the door.
