PithHelmet crashes Safari 3.2


PithHelmet crashes Safari 3.2. Safari acted normally for a day or so after I upgraded to 3.2. Then, it started crashing within a couple of minutes of being launched. The crashes were always Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001) and Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS. Nothing else was acting up, so I didn't think it was a hardware problem. I tried … Continue reading PithHelmet crashes Safari 3.2 →

I'm so disappointed in the conservative "centrist" malarkey opinions on television these days. The MSM is dying, and the MSM on television (broadcast or otherwise) is dead. Long live the blogosphere. … Continue reading Voting today →

There've been 18,233 views total, since inception. Gee, that high month was about 1/3 of TrenchMice's average month in the last year of … Continue reading This blog’s page views →
