Maybe I am a plugin addict. I had to recently go without plugins for a couple of weeks at the request of my host. I didn’t find out the results of my sacrifice, so perhaps that will be apparent once I make it a priority to follow-up with them.

I think what I miss most about plugins in the ability to do cool things that otherwise I didn’t know were possible. I used to do basic programming in the past, and it was always fun to make the computer do what you wanted. I once programmed a calendar with the important dates included. I wanted to do a GUI calendar which was challenging in the DOS era that I was in. Now there is probably an ActiveX or API for that function.

Have you ever gone without something for a long time and then enjoyed it when it came back into your life?
