Prefetching with Fasterfox is Bad

  • 1 Dec, 2005

It’s come to my attention that prefetching with the Firefox extension Fasterfox could be bad and causing extra strain on yours, and other peoples, webserver and possibly pocketbook! Fasterfox, in essence, is a prefetcher. It reads the page you are currently browsing and attempts to download all of the other pages being linked to. When […]

An extension for Firefox 1.5 has been created that mimics Apple’s Exposé for Firefox’s open tabs! Viamatic foXpose is a handy too for anyone who browses with multiple tabs open.

  • 30 Nov, 2005

I’ve been running Firefox 1.5 all day on my iMac G5 and the update hasn’t disappointed me at all. Here are a few of the new things I’ve noticed, good and bad. Fancy installer (dmg) on the Mac. Start up is slow the first time, but that’s because it’s upgrading everything. Be patient and let […]

Sage RSS Reader Gets Style

  • 29 Nov, 2005

My favorite RSS reader is Sage, an extension for Firefox. Sage is built into my browser and integrates quite well. The only things I don’t like abut Sage is it’s look. Up until now I’ve been using Jon Hicks custom style sheet and icon, but I’ve found a new resource. The other day I noticed […]

St Louis, Arkansas and Back

  • 26 Nov, 2005

We are back and ever so happy to be. Our vacation was good but it really makes you like being home when you get back. St. Louis is a great town. We didn’t spend much time in the actual city, but rather an hour outside. However we did make it in on a few occasions. […]

Websites to Note

  • 18 Nov, 2005

I have this habit of dragging URLs to my desktop and saving them for a later time. I always mean to post about them or do something with them. What I end up with is a mess of URL files on my desktop. So, today, I’m posting information about all the URLs I have. This […]

Minnesota Winter Prediction

  • 16 Nov, 2005
