We were very excited for the return of the OC on FOX last night! We ordered in Dominos Double Melt pizza and had kettle corn for desert as we watched the OC. The show didn’t disappoint. I’ll be addicted all season long! However the pizza wasn’t that good. We wouldn’t order it again. Kind of like that new Holiday Spice Pepsi, it’s ok, but I wouldn’t buy it again. Our kettle corn was pretty good to finish up the meal though. Mmmm Kettle corn.

Mozilla released Firefox Release Candidate 2 today and Thunderbird 0.9! Thunderbird said that none of my extensions would work when I started it up but they all did. Pretty smooth sailing here. I’m hoping they fixed the ‘new mail notification’ icon issue. Half the time it doesn’t show, thus I have no idea I have new mail. Firefox on the other hand was a smooth update from RC1. I found out thought that I had to reinstall the SpellBound spell check extension though. Other than that no issues. Not sure what’s new, but I’m sure something is.

My Firefox Aquafox

Every day it seems that I find something new that I can customize in Firefox and I’ve started a page to keep track of it all. Aquafox - Customizing Firefox has lots of tweaks and edits that I’ve made to my Firefox browser to make it appear as it does above. From custom background images, to tabs, extension makeovers and config file edits, I’ll change it all. Wanna know how I did something? Don’t understand what I did? Have tips or tricks of your own? Join my Firefox discussion. I’d love to hear what you’ve done!

I found a great new CSS trick today to control the hover text color for different links on a page. Basically you add five class’ to your CSS file.

/* black links with blue rollover */
.link-black {color: #000000;}
.link-black a:link {color: #000000;}
.link-black a:visited {color: #000000;}
.link-black a:hover {color: #0098cb;}
.link-black a:active {color: #0098cb;}
.link-black a:visited:hover {color: #0098cb;} <– UPDATED - You’ll need this to fix hover issues.

Then, on your page you’d surround your links with a tag that contained the style.
< p class="link-black">
  <a href="2">poker</a>
  <a href="3">texas</a>
  <a href="4">doctor</a>

I’m so happy that today is election day! That means that the TV ads will go away, the fliers will go away and so will the stupid signs littering the roadways. Whooo Hooo. I went to the local elementary school this morning where they were doing voting. I decided to get in early to beat the crowds. I showed up around 8am and waited in line. The smart little school had cookies, brownies, coffee and pop for sale too. So I got a cookie. MMmm good stuff. It took me about 45 minutes to wait in line and to vote. Ok so I had to register to that added probably 15 minutes in another line. All in all it wasn’t bad at all. People were constant. It wasn’t overly busy but not dead either. I could have been in and out in a half hour if I didn’t have to register. Now I have my cool I Voted sticker on and don’t have to worry about voting later today. So who did I vote for? Well there was no one for sewage council or something like that, not that I blame them, so I left that blank. I also left a lot of blanks when people were running against nobody. If you have no competition then how should you loose? I was disappointed I didn’t get to vote for Mark Kennedy or Patty Wetterling. I guess I’m not in the right area to vote for one of them. Sad. Oh and I did vote for president….. but, like my mom, I’d rater not say.

Being a big fan of Safari I find it hard to switch browsers, but Firefox has me almost convinced. One thing it was missing was spell check and now I’ve found it. Spellbound is a Firefox extension that allows you to hit a button and it will spell check any text boxes on a site. This works on forums, emails, about anything with a text field! I’ve been using it for a few days now and it’s really nice. No ‘Check Spelling as You Type’ but a spell check none the less. Spellbound is available for Mac, Windows and Linux.
