Recommeded Firefox Extensions

Firefox is an awesome web browser, part of what makes it so awesome is the ability to add extensions in order to extend the functionality of some parts. There have been many extensions written, and a lot of them are very neat.

Here is a list of my favorite extensions that I use on a daily basis:


  • All-In-One Sidebar (Allows the side bar to have more features and customizations)

  • Colorzilla (An eyedropper that allows you to find out the exact color of something on your browser)

  • GrepSidebar (Advanced search within a webpage)

  • Minimize to Tray (If you have firefox open all day, and you don't want it to clutter the taskbar, this allows you to minimize the browser to the tray)

  • Mouseless Browsing (by pressing the NumPad decimal key, you go into mouseless mode where the number keys allow you to navigate links)

  • Scrapbook (Capture a webpage or part of a webpage for future consumption and or reference off-line, also it is good to be able to save a portion of a page that you find interesting, better than a bookmark, because you don't have to reload the whole page, you can just see the part that was interesting to you.)

  • Sidebar on Right (I like the sidebar to be on the right side of the browser instead of the left)

  • StumbleUpon (A great way to find interesting websites, choose your interests and then this button will take you to sites that other people with those interests found interesting.)

  • Tabbrowser Preferences (Advanced preferences for tabs)

  • Web Developer (A suite of tools to aid in web development, helpful to outline objects on the page and much more)


I was going to post links to all the places to install these, but I think I will just let you do a google search or you can search the mozilla update site.

Open Office.org

You have probably heard of it by now, but if not, you should try using OpenOffice.org . It is an office suite like Microsoft Office, but it is open source. I like it because I like supporting open source projects, and I like alternatives to Microsoft. OpenOffice is FREE. I like quality free software. OpenOffice.org is mostly compatible with MS Office documents (ie, you can open documents made in MS Office, and save documents in MS Office format). I say mostly compatible because nobody knows what the MS Offics formats are. Even Microsoft Office documents themselves are not compatible with other versions of themselves. Anyways, it is a neat thing they got going on. Go to there website and download the application suite and give it a whirl. http://www.openoffice.org/

The Cephalopod and I

Silently the cephalopod somehow started shuddering as something somewhere suffering screamed out from someones sin. And strangely, when I saw the sin I also started struggling so, to stifle my sensation of a strangling sort of sound. I, descending south and circling, seeking, Swam to save the screaming something. I searched, the sound was sickening; Uncertain, stopped I, listening. The source I sought. The cephalopod, still shaking, swerved and suddenly just stopped and swooned, I ascertained The sound had ceased. I sobbed. Sadly, solemnly, the squid and I, together, side by side, swam home.

The Kitchen

A group of scientists wandered into a kitchen that was full of the sweet smell of freshly baked bread. They quickly discovered that the source was the fine loaf sitting in the oven. Upon inspection, they found that there was no one in the kitchen, so they began developing a theory of how it got there. Examining the contents of the cupboard yielded results. In the cupboard was flour, sugar and salt. There was a source of water from the sink, and in the fridge there were yeast and eggs. They also found butter and oil. They determined that all these ingredients must have swirled and stormed around the room every which way until finally the mixture landed in the oven where it was baked. Sweet!
