Got lucky today with Firefox and the Conexant audio driver in Windows. I turned off all of the Conexant services (which believe it or not doesn't affect the sound), and Conexant's Flow.exe isn't making a mess of things. Without that issue, Firefox is a lovely browser that spys a whole lot less.

I'm trying to track down an error that is crashing the Ruby script that handles these posts. I'm not sure if the crash happens due to longer post length or "special" characters. It seems to happen when I'm discussing C++. But now, of course, that error is NOT happening.

Months later, I'm still battling problems on my HP laptop with the Conexant audio driver's Flow.exe program eating gobs of CPU when Firefox is running. If I wanted to bang my head against the wall over driver issues, I'd just run Linux.

Scribble: The Racket Documentation Tool is as good a reason as any to use @racketlang. You can start generating great-looking documentation pages almost immediately. If I only use this one Racket feature, I'll be happy. https://docs.racket-lang.org/scribble/index.html

When your programming language is all about publishing to the web (or elsewhere), I'm immediately more interested. In this case it's Pollen and @racketlang https://docs.racket-lang.org/pollen/
