Browser @ MindSay

There is a useful Firefox addon called Auto Context. At least, I find it useful.  It automatically brings up the context menu when any text is selected.  Usually, I select text because I want to copy it.  So, I need the context menu. 

It does present with one annoyance, but I can live with it.  If you are selecting text in a BLOG post to create a link, you don't need the context menu.  But, of course, you get it.  However, you may proceed just as if it hadn't come up and all will be well.

Did you know that you can set Firefox on startup to load either your home page, or to show your windows and tabs from your last session? The advantage to to latter, of course, is that it restores the state of your session when you last closed Firefox. And you can get to your chosen home page anytime by clicking on the home page icon in the tool bar.

Here's how: On the tool bar click Tools-->Options and then select the Main tab. Then in the Startup Bar choose "Show my windows and tabs from last time." (This will not effect your home page choice.) Its done.

Also, you may have more than one home page.  Just separate them with the bar symbol: |.  It is an upper case backslash, \, on my keyboard, but it is in different places on different keyboards. When you go to your home page(s) all of them will be loaded in different tabs.

(the original seven from loveisnicotine )
1. Opera (browser) -- I got it not too long ago (read: two hours ago), and holy Jesus's panties, it's fast as hell! It's about 10 times better than Firefox and 50 times better than explorer.
2. Advanced Windows Care - This solves pretty much all your problems (if you have Windows, that is) -- Viruses, unused junk stored on your computer, the annoying programs that automatically pop up when you start up your computer... etc.
3. Gimp - It's an excellent program, almost exactly like Photoshop (from what I recall of it, what with occasionally using my parents' computer) -- but better in that it's free, and it's much easier to figure out.
4. Soulseek - File-sharing program. I like it because you can find bands on there that never appear in Limewire or Morpheus (another file-sharing program I once tried -- which sucked), and it's all nice and clean in it's design.
5. uTorrent - Another file-sharing program, but much more useful for things like games and movies. It's fairly fast, and much better than the other ones I've tried.
6. Mozilla Firefox (browser) - There are one or two things Opera can't do -- for an example, for some reason it's not showing me blogging options on Mindsay (you know, like Italics and the such) -- so Firefox is good as a backup... Though compared to Opera, it's practically sluggish.
7. Videora iPod Converter - This is for the people who have an iPod; it converts any videos for you into ones you can stick on there.
(expansion by me):
8. Photoshop CS3 - The latest and best version of the professional Adobe program. Has a better layout than CS2 and a much better "Vanishing Point" tool. The haxxorz at bit torrent monster finally made a crack for it and you can download it via .torrent @ btmon.com
9. Ad-Aware 2007 (free version) - Dedicated regular updates on virus definitions and a kick ass system searching engine.
10. Spybot Search and Destroy - Another sweet free adware/spyware scanner. Has a browser immunizer for Explorer and Firefox.
11. Adobe Audition 3.0 - A professional audio recording/editing/mastering program. My favorite and available via torrent @ btmon.com
12. Iconize - A great freeware tool that allows you to take progams that appear on the bottom taskbar and put them in the system tray on the right side of the screen so they take up less space and still accessable via icon, and allows you to hide some software as it works in the background.
13. honestech video editor - I got it from a torrent site but it may be freeware. Simple and fun.
14. AlltoAVI - Freeware. This nifty little program can convert those pesky .mkv and .ogm videos for you to .avi. Many videos have the .mkv and .ogm video codecs and a good lot of people don't have players that have those codecs, so this will help you out there. It's also good for pre-converting videos to be converted using Videora iPod Convertor because Videora doesn't have the codecs to convert directly from .mkv and .ogm.

Everytime I load up the top blogs page, my browser freezes up and shuts down, not only the mindsay browser but any other browser window I happen to have open at the same time.

 

Me or mindsay?

 

hum..

 

Cable guy.. gone... yay.. 1 hour 45 minutes, new phone line, new cable line that he told me SHOULD have been there to begin with in the other room AND a new cable box...seems like the reason my cable wasnt working properly was the BOX. 

 

He left and 10 minutes later 2 more charter men arrived... and when I said, no.. charter was already here, they were ticked OFF.. and said.. LATINO guy? I was like, yep and he was the most professional charter rep that I have had the pleasure of dealing with in this whole scenario.

 

They walked away swearing to one another.

 

Turf war? LOL
