  • Firefox Extension: Twitterfox

    Twitterfox is a handy little Firefox Extension for all users of Twitter. It keeps you up to date with your friends twitters, and gives you a nice quick interface for posting. It takes up a tiny piece of real estate on your status bar (an issue if like me you have a lot of extensions…

  • Save typing on URLs with CTRL + ENTER in Firefox

    I’ve just seen this tip on Lifehacker, about not typing full URLs in Firefox. Basically, you can type just the keyword of the domain name e.g. “lifehacker”, hit CTRL and ENTER together, and it will add on the http:// and the .com . This then made me curious about how I could alter this for…

  • Applications I’m missing at the moment

    I was just thinking about the applications that I don’t have, that I would like. So I thought I’d write a quick list, explain them, and then revisit them in a few months time to see if they exist. I was going to put SMS notifications for Google Mail for my phone on there, but…

  • Somewhat more awake

    Slept a world-record amount last night. Headed to bed not long after 8pm, and snoozed on and off until 11pm, until crashing out for the rest of the night.

I find it particularly useful when I am researching a project for work, and want to gather all the links together, and be able to access them from several computers (in…

  • A Firefox for the rest of us

    Well, Firefox is now officially version 1.5. The main external differences I’ve noticed so far are: – Tabs can now be dragged and swapped with each other – The RSS icon is now in the url bar, rather than down the bottom (which threw me at first) – Secure pages show in different colours in…

  • Dream Serious

    Last night I had a long poignant dream about balancing precariously on narrow ledges. On reflection, I think playing Mario 64 in bed before I went to sleep was a bad idea. It is snowing on and off here, but in a rather pathetic non-northern fashion. Very pretty to look at this morning, if a…

  • Official Firefox 1.0 out now

    Sorry, thats my browser advert for the day out of the way. Firefox as a browser is a constant delight, I very occasionally have to go back and use Internet Explorer, and its like the difference between a racing car and and a Skoda. Its designed how I want it, cos I can set it…
