I spent a bunch of time getting all the functionality stuck back in, and having to be extra clever at it because I'm me, then trotted off to rare haunts and smacked right into another toolbar, not Israeli, gotten in fact from Sabbah, so seriously unlikely to be of Israeli extraction. This meant a heck of a lot more fiddling, and I just damn well did it.

If people hate this, I'd like to know. I can set it to default to collapsed mode—which if you click the little arrows at the very rightmost of the bar, you will see how that looks—and then you could just open it when you need it, but... well... it's kind of not very obvious for newbies then what to do about this stuff. I could put a note at the top of the sidebar where to go for translation and sharing and searching and the feed link. I made a little 99 button that will take you to THE comprehensive list of any place at which you ever never knew you should be hanging. It's not as daunting as it looks. You can start to type the name of where you want to go and, bam, the list grows way manageable right away. I also stuck what seemed to me the least offensive choices for sharing on TwitFace. I think those buttons will get you to those places fine and dandy, but, not being a member of any of them, I can't be a hunnert percent sure.

I'm not feeling so damn modern anymore. I'm feeling old and tired. For such a daffodil, I really CAN muscle code into submission and make little icons and all kinds of things that would send my analog friends screaming off down the middle of the highway to flag down help, but the old laser is flickering.... Or it is NOW, after all these hours of hassling and my contacts growing dry from gaping at all these itty things.

I know full well that this is vacation week for at least half of America and things drop off like crazy till mid-September or so, so this is an ideal time to try something new that I'm not sure I can hang with, but it's the WORST time because that's when the fewest people will be around to opine on this matter. So. Hell. Pull over and go WiFi for a minute. I need yer opinion.

I'm still looking around for some expertise in making me a gizzy that pops out like the icon swooshes on Macs. I think I found something that almost works but needs more functions and so I'm trying to get advice on if it's doable to add to it. It's not so likely I can find a free and affable expert with the time and patience, but, well, surprises happen and then you will have a whole nuther toy to mess around with here.

Oh, oh, and when I get the energy I can add a bunch of choices of search engines for the toolbar, and if yer really mortified by life, sorta frozen in yer tracks, try translating this to wild languages! It's amusing as heck.

love, 99
