I quit, after 5 years’ smoking, about 20 years ago. I was lucky – the process was kinda painless.

I took on a job as part of a film shoot, on a very intensive schedule for about six weeks in southeastern Australia. As it happened, I quit just before the shoot started, and, through a quirk of fate, no-one else on the unit was a smoker. So, what with working flat out every waking minute, and having no smokers around at all, I emerged at the end of the shoot exhausted – and free of craving.

So I guess the lesson is: get distracted. Get busy. Very busy.

Firefox is drastically better than the other prominent browsers… for both work and play. I work as a web developer, and there are lots of features – and extensions – that Firefox gives me to make my work easier and better. And for just browsing around, it’s just much nicer to use than the others I’ve tried.

IE is kinda out of the picture – a 7-year-old program, full of hacks and bugs. A web developer’s nightmare.

Opera is much much better, and does some things better than Firefox. But overall the Firefox experience is better, I think. And the range of Extensions available is unbeatable.
