Slow weekend is sloooooow

I'm headed into work for a little 1 on 1 with my codebase.  Might come across a good reason to post something.  Until then, pls enjoy this fine image macro.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for making the Snap previews separate links! Folks with high speed don't know how much of a nuisance Snap-i-fied links are to somebody on a dial-up. (Don't ask about dialup: Long story involving Amerit^H^H^H^H^H^H SBC^H^H^H AT&T blackhole in "Major Metropolitan Area" coupled with landlord who got into a fight with Comcast and threw them off the property.) Suffice it to say they're HOSTS-filed on my other machine.

Lol...  I'm kinda surprised you don't like 'em because they're some new fangled consarn technology that all the kids are going on about today. 

I kinda like them.  They aren't live, and sometimes they only show error pages instead of the actual link.  But the Snap people are a .NET development organization, which is relevant to my interests.  And, because you can also let users turn them off, that's why I'm including them on my page.

I'm actually adding stuff here and there that is more or less obvious.  I'll probably ditch some and keep others...

Naw, I'm not that much of a curmudgeon. I think they're neat, too, just not compatible with slow circuits. Which I why I like what you've done here. At other sites where I've run into them, the Snap links look just like regular links. That's a real pain when you mouse over one to see where it goes, and suddenly have an empty window pop up.
