Home About this Site About me Hobbies/Interests Other Pages Product Reviews Contact Me You are here: Firealarms Index> Main Welcome to my personal web site! There used to be a whole huge glut of different pages with complex PHP and javascript and cookies and what not, but in an effort to simplify things I have brought it down to this one page. Some parts of this site use PHP, some use javascript, some (like this section) use CSS, some use any combination of the three. There should be something up here for everyone to enjoy! Unfortunately none of it integrates very smoothly at the moment, but it doesn't matter, it all works and this is going to be a huge project as I remove all the junk. There is both a sidebar, and a navigation section at the top of the page to help you find your way around. Can't see the navigation section, due to a browser that doesn't support iFrames?

It shall be mentioned now that, while I do not like Javasludge at all, there are still portions of this site that use it. I also make heavy use of PHP (which is server-side, so it is unlikely that anything malicious will reach your computer unless I want it to (which will most certainly NOT happen at ANY point in time), or this server get's hijacked), and makes heavy use of CSS. If you don't like any of that, then it is against your best wishes to continue visiting this site.

I'm not perfect. Most scripts have been around since 2011 or so without any major changes, and most of the ones that HAVE been changed have been checked before going public. But that does not mean that there isn't some script SOMEWHERE that doesn't work. If you spot a problem anywhere, I would like to know about it.

Need a web browser that isn't the world's worst Internet Exploder?
I strongly believe that when it comes down to the software you use, you should have your own choices and not make those choices based on what others say.
THAT being said, I would highly recommend against both Firefox and Chrome. Why? Well, any half-way recent version of Firefox I have used has been a buggy pile of poo, and as a bonus it now is trying to imitate Chrome's UI, something I will not stand for. Chrome has a UI that looks goofy. Also, it might be fast, but that is only AFTER Chrome has loaded all your app tabs. It takes a minute to load everything from a cold-start, and given that I am a heavy user of app tabs, that is a show-stopper.

I used to use Waterfox, a 64-bit version of Firefox that doesn't [yet] have the new (and utter trash) "Australis" UI, but as of right now I am in the process of switching to the Pale Moon browser, and I would recommend it to anyone. Pale Moon is based on the Firefox browser, and uses the same add-ons, but unlike Mozilla Firefox it comes in both 32- and 64-bit flavors, and also runs a WHOLE LOT better than both regular Firefox and Waterfox do right now. Plus it doesn't rapid-release; that alone is a significant improvement.
