Re: OT: The official stool for FreeBSD users?

  I was thinking of stool in the medical sense shudder
  I wondered for a minute whether the link was work-safe ;)

 Sadly, you're not alone here.  I was thinking similarly.

Apologies.  On Sunday, like every day previously, I thought of stool as 
in chair, i.e. bar stool.  That is what the original link references.

On Monday, my wife gave birth to our first child, Grayson.  I quickly learned 
that stool is a verb and a noun referring to what comes out of a baby's 
bottom :-)

Heck, I just used to call that poo or poop.  As a new father, I'm 
learning!

FYI, for those who could see the page, the design is a conceptual swivling 
seat - low with no back support.  Bright red in color and sporting 
very Beastie-like handles to rotate about on.

  I think it might for a great official stool for FreeBSD as soon as the
  designer's site is usable without Flash.
 
 It is, you just miss adblock or similar. Instead of whining, just install 
 www/dummyflash.

Please explain to me how blocking Flash makes this site usable:

Considering that they've got 10 errors in 37 lines of HTML per:

  http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.corazon-design.com

I'm not convinced their site would be usable even if they didn't  
require Flash for everything.

Oh -- you thought I was talking about the first site.  Sorry, I guess I
wasn't as clear about what I meant.

flashblock https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/433

Believe it or not it really does reduce rage and frustration at
adobe/macromedia refusing to recognise FreeBSD as a real operating
system. At least when those little placeholder buttons pop up you can
think Hah kept you out you b*stards.
