Annoying cyber-icons
11.20.03 (4:58 am)   [edit]
I just had a squizz at my old blog stats. Saw a hit from someone using a really weird browser. It was called "FreeBSD". Being the total tightwad I am, I zeroed in on the word "free" and Googled my way to the site. It looks like it's another one of these hip "open source" projects created by geeks in their spare time. It's worth a look, I reckon.

And just on the subject of browsers and operating systems and stuff: Why is it that they all have little creature and monster icons? The one above's got a devil, Mozilla's is a fire breathing dinosaur, Linux has a friggin' penguin. And even Ninemsn employs some dork dressed up as a butterfly as a mascot!

Is this another example of animal rights activists poking their ugly, piggy, pointy little heads into our lives?

Whatever it is it's damn annoying - and unhygeinic. Little critters everywhere in cyberspace... Yeugh!

Maybe this is how computer viruses started?

Where I'm from every used car lot has a Gigantic blow up, 3 story gorilla in front of it - I can't solve that mystery, so if you figure out why the web uses dragons and butterflies let me know...
