Wanted: Starter FireFox Theme

7 Dec, 2005

I’m looking for a good theme to work with to create new Firefox themes. I hacked into a theme today and added in Camino buttons to create one nice, yet incomplete, Camino Firefox theme. So now I have the urge to create more. Course I don’t have time to. 😉 I can’t use the one […]

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 […]

Expose for Firefox Tabs

1 Dec, 2005

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. Just hit the foXpose button and all your tabs will appear in one window so you can select the one you want. It’s great to […]

Firefox 1.5 Mac Review

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 […]

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 […]

Firefox Extensions List – Nov.

11 Nov, 2005

One of the greatest things about Firefox is the fact that it comes with extensions! That means you can add extra features to the browser above and beyond web browsing. The best part is that you can customize the browser for your needs. You are in control! With that said, here is my November Firefox […]

My Social Christmas List

7 Nov, 2005

It’s that time of year again. The Simpsons’ Halloween special is over and I’m waiting for the snow to fly! So that means it’s almost time for Christmas. Every year someone asks me, “What’s on your list?” and I never can remember all those cool things I’ve seen in the past few months. But this […]

Too Cool for Internet Explorer

2 Nov, 2005

I keep seeing some banners around that say “Too Cool for IE” and they give me a worm fuzzy feeling. 🙂 Well, I just found out that it’s not just one or two people, it’s a club! Basically, if you design a really cool site and it looks bad in Internet Explorer, just add this […]
