Firefox Homepage Goodness

Hey! this is cool (was scary at first). If you have many websites you visit a lot, you can set them all (tabbed) to your Firefox homepage. I wanted to change my homepage to the new cool google personalized page (www.google.com/ig), the other day and I had a few other windows open.

I didn't notice when I went into “Tools”,”Options”, “General” that the button said “Use Current Pages” Next time I opened FFox, I couldn't figure out why there were multiple tabs opening. Nice way to start the day! Open all your usual suspects with one click! I love Firefox!

Firefox on Steroids

Just saw a link to this from Sam Gentile's blog.

This is a neat little page with a couple setting changes you can make to Firefox to speed it up *a lot*. It's so easy even your mom can handle it. Check it out!

I tried it last night on 2 of my home machines, it makes a big difference! It's not that hard to do. When I first looked @ the post I said to myself 'self, this looks like some stupid show off do nothing little exercise in time wasting', but in reality, it only took a less than a minute, was absolutely simple, and really helped. Don't just look at this and say to yourself ' eh, self, um you might want to do this or something, maybe later', and forget, and put it off. Don't! Take the time, it's worth it. Thanks for the like Sam!

Give Carl a little love....

Spread the word!!!

Mondays needs your help!

In an attempt to increase listeners, the Mondays crew has assembled a series of short clips from recent shows that we hope will circulate around the Internet virally.

They are short, and the swears have been bleeped.

If you want to help, and in doing so laugh your ass off, download these clips and send the files (not the links) to your friends who are always passing you funny movies, pictures, and audio files.

Enjoy! More to come!

Need to spread the word about this. - josh

Wow, did you know that there is a Visual Studio 2005 cleanup tool that is suppossed to help cleanup any types of leftover "stuff" from a previous install of a beta or CTP of Visual Studio 2005? I just ran across this on Aaron Stebner's blog. Thank you Aaron!
