My FireFox Addons

I like testing things by seeing if they will break. You might find me running nine different programs on my computer at the same time. Every time processors became faster and more efficient, I just loaded them up more.

I had a tendency to do that with Firefox also. This is one reason I run multiple browers: Flock, Firefox and Chrome. Flock is the one I use most of the time and it is one with the most addons. If you are not using Firefox or Flock, you are missing out. Change now or the rest of this post is not even worth reading. Browsers with addons take away the need for a lot of extra software.

A Glitch in The System

I used to work on cars. I thought I loved it at the time. I realized after a while that I hated it. I like saving the money. Don’t get me wrong. I still will work on cars, but I will bitch about it.

Sometimes I chase down why things won’t work. Sometimes I’m tired of that crap for the same reason I hate working on cars any more. I can do it, but it’s going to take a long time.

Automatic Form Filling With Firefox

fireform :: Firefox Add-ons

I am still surprised at the amount of people who don’t know the existence of this plugin.

I am currently writing a database/program in Filemaker to keep all of my link lists in. I have expanded this until form filling software for linking campaigns but have yet to perfect the thing.

But for now, I want to get started. I want to test the linking power of submitting my site to blog directories will do. And this Firefox addon will do the job.

My Firefox To Do List

I carry a Moleskine around to write random ideas down which I later put in a bigger notebook which consist of to do list, article ideas, half finished articles and marketing ideas.

I only recently pulled my head out of my ass and set Firefox up to reopen all the tabs the next time I use it. It has become my instant to do list. No need for notes I can lose. Its all right here.

When I shut down for the day. I just make sure all the tabs that I want open when I turn my computer on, are.

Creating a Feed Reading Matrix

How you view your feeds depends on what you want them to do for you. I have used so many feed readers that did not agree with me. The first one I stuck with for a little while was Rojo, because at the time it was the only one that would sort feed items by date. Other feed readers would sort specific feeds by date, but I wanted the newest post out of all the feeds to float to the top and then on to the next newest item. I have about 600 feeds I subscribe to and no time to click each feed to find out if there were new posts.

Toolbarqueries.google.com Incorrect Security Certificate.

Every once in a while, ever since the last Firefox update, I have been getting a security certificate mismatch error from Firefox. Not sure if this is an issue with Firefox or with Google or with the Google toolbar. I am also not sure why it occurs randomly. And since it happens when I open a new tab and not with searches from the Google toolbar, why it occurs at all. And if Google is only supposed to be spying on me when I search since I have the "Send usage statistics to Google" box unchecked, does this mean that this option is not really an option?
