Have been meaning to post my add-ons I use to share with you lot and Blow’s post inspired me.

- Adblock Plus 0.7.5.5
http://adblockplus.org/
Couldnt live without this one. When I use IE at work and see how much chaff this saves me reading, I realise how much I take it for granted.

- BugMeNot 2.0
http://erichamiter.com
Handy little option to right click on the login field of a site that asks for a user/pass and it chooses one from the bugmenot site. More and more decent sites are stoping this from wiorking but it helps on loads still.

- ChatZilla 0.9.83
http://chatzilla.hacksrus.com/
Handy IRC client right in the browser. It is a large plugin and I hardly use it at all. However, it has been right handy a couple of times and it saves me from going to install Mirc :)

- Distrust 0.8.1
http://www.gness.com/
Fab idea. You can click this icon in your status bar, browse and d/l all you want, then click it again and alkl traces of your session will be removed. Good for shared PCs.

- dotCOMplete 1.4.2
Couldnt live without this and miss it terribly on my IE box at work. Simple stuff, you can assign any domain suffix to a shortcut. Like CTRL-ENTER for .com and SHIFT-ENTER for .co.uk.

- DownThemAll! 1.0.3
http://downthemall.net/
Feature rich downloader for FF. I love this tool, it maxes out my d/l bandwidth and has pause resume. Many advanced features such as download all items on page within filter criteria.

- Extension List Dumper 1.14.1
http://sogame.awardspace.com/
Used it to start off this list!

- Image Zoom 0.3.1
http://imagezoom.yellowgorilla.net/
I use this a fair bit. Ever seen an image on a page and just wanted to make it a bit bigger, perhaps zoom it on or out? This is your buddy.

- Java Console 6.0.06
Never heard of it! Lets hoep its not spyware!

- Password Exporter 1.1
http://passwordexporter.fligtar.com
Love this one, I use this to export all my saved passwords from FF (I would be in trouble if I lost that list!) and then I encrypt it in my Keepass file on the usb stick.

- PicLens 1.7.0.3458
http://www.piclens.com/
Just found this one and I must say, its very cool. Prolly not use it much but still, its very well done. Think Apple album flow for FF. They have a “channel” there that shows latest film trailers in their swish interface, worth a look.

- QuickDrag 1.0.5
http://mozilla.ktechcomputing.com/quickdrag/
Now this IS the one I can not do without. I used to use Superragandgo, but this is better. Saves me time and keeps me lazy :)

- ScrapBook 1.3.3.6
http://amb.vis.ne.jp/mozilla/scrapbook/
One of the most established and popular add-ons for FF. Simply saves web pages for later retieval. It saves them as web pages and will show them exactly as the original. Also allows you to save parts of the page. Very good idea, I save all my online order conf pages.

- Stylish 0.5.7
http://userstyles.org/stylish/
Lets you add tiny scripts to your browser to change the way it looks and behaves. I colour my tabs, squeeze the not-so awesome bar and lose the mag glass from the search box. Thousands more scripts available.

- Tab Mix Plus 0.3.6.1.080416
http://tmp.garyr.net
This is in beta for FF3 but works fine. Too many features to mention. I would say if you dont have it now, you dont need it!

- Tiny Menu 1.4.9
http://trac.arantius.com/wiki/Extensions/TinyMenu
Part of my “one line interface” setup. This moves the whole menu items into one. Helps me save my precious realestate. I only have 1900×1200 :)

- View Cookies 1.7
http://www.bitstorm.org/extensions/view-cookies/
I have this so I can delete ALL cookies from a specific site. Real handy when I am using Quidco.

- Web Developer 1.1.6
http://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer/
Use this a fair bit when designing web pages, completely useless if you dont!

OK, that’s it. Lemme know if you use any I have missed and I will try them out!

Very long.. very nerdy.. very funny

Pretty much what it says in the title!

Guys,

For the last few months ive been struggling to find a game to keep my busy on the PC and finally ive found something to grip me again. It not everyones cup of tea but if you like real life simms check out FSX or its full name Microsoft FlightSim 10.

It awsome, the gfx are stunning and even better if you down load google earth textures and airport addons. I am now found flying routes around europe. The online parts allow you to fly in the sim real routes leaving the airports at that moment in real time weather conditions.

Its amazing how easy it is to fly the big stuff when you get the hang of the avionics.

The landings are hard , as my 400 passengers found out last night in my 747, when i missed the run way at heathrow and snapped the undercarrige off. still no one moaned as they was all dead.

Let me know if you give it ago and need any help.

Here’s that link to my 4GB flash drive. It’s cheap, very small, cheap, fast in comparison to other small drives and cheap!

There’s an 8GB version too for those more space hungry peeps.

Why not get free delivery too?

Not a very exciting post, but if you want some free online colour matching, here’s some links!

Big, yes. A dog? no. Freaky? very much yes.

I can’t help but see this as two disembodied pairs of legs facing each other carrying a heavy load. This is some way cool tech.

Bye bye projector and laptop, every salesman will be carrying one of these bad boys sooner rather than later…

This website gave me the perfect subject line of my next business email

9. “I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.”

8. “My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all.”

7. “I find that American & Scandinavian accents work better with women.” In response to a question about the American accent of his synthesiser.

6. “Someone told me that each equation I included in the book would halve the sales. In the end, however, I did put in one equation, Einstein’s famous equation, E = mc2. I hope that this will not scare off half of my potential readers.”

5. “My expectations were reduced to zero when I was 21. Everything since then has been a bonus.”

4. “To show this diagram properly, I would really need a four dimensional screen. However, because of government cuts, we could manage to provide only a two dimensional screen.”

3. “Life would be tragic if it weren’t funny.”

2. “The whole history of science has been the gradual realization that events do not happen in an arbitrary manner, but that they reflect a certain underlying order, which may or may not be divinely inspired.”

1. “Eternity is a very long time, especially towards the end.”
