Del.icio.us on Spotlight
|
|
I was on Digg.com today and I found this sweet new plugin for Spotlight. It's called delimport, which allows you to search your Del.icio.us bookmarks via Spotlight. This is awesome!! I cannot wait to install this on my Powerbook. Now all I need is a way to search other users delicious bookmarks as well.

Search your desktop from Firefox
|
|
One of my good friends, Marc, sent me an email on this great Firefox extension called Horopter. Basically, it makes it so you can search the Google Desktop (which must be installed of course) using the Google search bar. Yeah... not that exciting for some but hey I love it.

WindizUpdate
|
|
Wow... there is this great site I found today by listing to the TWiT (This week in Tech) podcast. It's called WindizUpdate and it is Windows Update for Mozilla FireFox. It seemed like this is an impossible thing to me as Microsoft is in control of the updates and I thought you could only get updates only via Windows Update. The other thing is for all of those people with Windows 95/98/2000 the updates for those versions are also out there as well. This is a good thing for me because I refuse to upgrade to XP on my home system; Window 2000 SP4 is a lot more reliable, stable, and fixable than XP SP2.

Google on your phone
|
|
Haven't posted a relevant tip in a while so I will do the Google Mobile search capabilities. They are cool. Basically, you send google a text message and you recieve great info back. Like today I wanted the weather so I typed 'weather omaha ne' and sent it to GOOGL (46645) and within seconds I got the weather. Wind: 28mph NW, Humidity: 72%, Hi/Lo: 34-57 deg, Showers. It even gave me a 3-day outlook (Sat, Sun, and Mon). You can also get driving directions, movie times, stock quotes, product prices, and even dictionary definitions. Wow, so many uses, so little time.

DOSBOX!!

I was on Slashdot today and someone posted a link to DOSBOX, a DOS emulation client that works in Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, BeOS, and FreeBSD. Happy days are here again. I MUST try this download.

Slashdot Extension
|
|
Being an avid slashdot reader, Firefox has some neat things out there to make my /. expierence more enjoyable. Not only does Firefox support RSS feed bookmark lists, but there is an extension out there for moderating posts called Slashdotter. It checks a particular user's rating so you can get an accurate picture of what type of /. poster they are. It's a really neat extension. Check it out.

Firefox Config page
|
|
Found this cool thing in Firefox today, the about:config page. It allows you to view tons of global browser variables and what they are set to. It will also allow you to edit, add, or delete vars as needed.

AdBlocking
|
|
You can block ads with Mozilla!! I can't believe it. With the new Adblock plug-in extention for mozilla becomes very easy. Just download the Adblock extention, then when you get to a site with ads in it find out where the ad comes from and click the adblock link in the status bar. Select the ad out of the list and bang. No more ad... Isn't that just great? :)

Touch command trick
|
|
Hey, found this really eat trick you can do with touch, a Linux command that allows you to make zero byte file and update modified dates on files. Did you know that you can actually date back files with touch? Niether did I until this morning. This is great because if I mess with a file on my blog and need to date it back, I can. :)
