No network?

Woke up this morning, switched on the computer - no network connection. (Well, only my VirtualBox Host-Only Network, but that doesn't get me onto the Internet.) As in, it didn't even recognise that there was a network hanging off my network adapter, not even a LAN.

Took the network cable out (not easy in the confined space in that part of the case!) and put it back in - no dice. Looked up Driver Manager - no yellow exclamation mark. Disabled the network chip and re-enabled it - and things worked again.

Still, I hope it's not going to make a habit of that.

MozBackup FTW

Thanks to MozBackup, my Firefox installation on the new computer looks pretty much like the old one - saved passwords, address history, even the extensions! Awesome.

I wish Opera had something like that (or if there is - how?)

Annoying to have to configure your font choices again. The skin also looks icky, I think. And I'm a bit annoyed that 10.50 (I had 10.20 on the previous box) doesn't seem to let you minimise tabs any more! That was really handy when I had a bunch of tabs open and I wanted to read one later; I'd minimise it and could then continue reading the next one, and when I was done with the maximised ones, I could go through the ones I had minimised previously. Meh.
