What’s the point of Google Desktop Mac?

  • 13 Apr, 2007

When I arrived home from vacation last week I saw the news that Google Desktop was released for the Mac. All excited, I downloaded it and installed it. However, it’s not really necessary on a Mac. When Google Desktop came out for Windows, it was great. The main reason was becasue it gave Windows a […]

Make Thunderbird’s Labels Stand Out

  • 10 Apr, 2007

I’m a big fan of Thunderbrid, however one of the things that bugs me is that the labels don’t stand out enough. I feel as if they kind of blend into the background. I did a bit of research and figured out how to style the labels to stand out a bit more. Check it […]

What is the Mozilla Sandbox?

  • 8 Apr, 2007

With the recent upgrade to the Mozilla Addon’s site, there is now a sandbox. What’s a sandbox you ask? Well it’s where all new addons go before they go live to the public. The great thing about the sandbox is that once you are in, you can view and install any theme or extension that […]

I Installed A Firefox Theme, Now What?

  • 25 Mar, 2007

I’ve been getting quite a few messages about how to get a theme to activate. I think that Mozilla has a usability issue as once a theme is installed, nothing happens. This tends to confuse quite a few people who are new to themes. So I thought I’d put together a quick ‘Now What?’ post. […]

Is MacZot Getting Desperate?

  • 20 Mar, 2007

I’ve been watching MacZot for quite a while now, but today, they solicited me. I got an email via the contact form on my site. It said: Just wanted to let you know about the great offer we have going on at www.maczot.com today. Pulp Motion is 33% off and they are selling like hot […]

New Mozilla Addon Site Coming

  • 13 Mar, 2007

The new Mozilla Addon site is just around the corner. It’s had a few issues getting off the ground, but everything should be live by Friday. I’m not quite sure what all the new features are. Taking a look at it, it doesn’t seem that much different. There is a sandbox area on the developer […]

Parallels Coherence Makes PC Apps Even More Usable

  • 11 Mar, 2007

Every now and then we come across a PC game that looks like fun or issues with a Firefox theme on the PC and I have no way of testing them really well. Yes, we have a PC, however, I haven’t fixed it yet. It’s in need of a power supply and I’m a bit […]

Protect Your Firefox With A Master Password.

  • 6 Mar, 2007

Firefox has the ability to save usernames and passwords for easy access later. It’s a handy little feature but it does pose a possible problem. If someone else were to use your computer, or steal your profile folder, they’d be able to access all your accounts. That’s a bit scary. However, you can set a […]

Gizmo Rocks Skype in VoIP

  • 27 Feb, 2007

Note: I wrote this post at the beginning of the year. Since then Adium 1.0 has come out and my use of Skype and Gizmo has unfortunately ended. However, I’d still choose Gizmo over Skype if I startup doing VoIP again. My love for Skype has been fading so I’ve been checking out Gizmo and […]

Did you see my FeedBurner StandardStats plugin?

  • 16 Feb, 2007

A week or so ago I released a FeedBurner StandardStats plugin for WordPress over at my BloggerDesign.com blog. It’s purpose was to make it easy to add FeedBurners new (and free) stats program into a WordPress blog. An interesting side effect was that it also inserts FeedFlare into your posts as well. This makes it […]
