Geeking out
I’ve been making large use of del.icio.us and Google Reader lately. The benefits for using these sites is that I get to use my bookmarks on pretty much any computer (as long as a flippin’ firewall isn’t up) and I get to read all the blogs/headlines I want to on one site.
On the browsing side itself, I upgraded the home computer to Firefox 2.0 the other day. Still using FirefoxPortable at work, so the issue becomes getting all the settings from FFP to the new install. Lesse, what am I doing… Well, I used a load of the hints from Lifehacker to clean up the menu and navigation bars. No forward, back, or reload buttons as everything is taken care of in All-in-One Gestures. I finally figured out the Scroll Wheel Navigation (as in I can do it on purpose instead of accidentally now) and already used a mouse gesture to reload anyways, so three buttons gone. TinyMenu puts all the text menus into a single drop down, and then using the “Customize” option on the toolbars lets me move eveything up to the top menu area and get rid of the entire navigation bar. Search shortcuts makes the search bar superfluous, and the damn throbber and go button vanish as well. Finally, all my sites with the nifty favicon.ico get their text description wiped out on the bookmark toolbar so I have a set of plain buttons that I can click and therefore have more space for other random bookmarks before I del.icio.us them. Now, if certain people would stop crying and let me visit forums…
Anyways, that the geekery for today!
Server rollback. =( Does that mean I’m no longer #1?
You’re still number 1 in my book!
Now I don’t even remember what I wrote though…
