More Firefox goodness

Stumbling around the internet I found some more cool extensions for Firefox. I already had half of these, but the rest are pretty swank, as well.

My former boss was born on 9/11 33 years ago. To reclaim her birthday, she became a part of charity:water (http://www.charitywater.org/birthdays/fundraiser/sept/view/1476). I donated to it on behalf of her and am helping build this - http://www.charitywater.org/birthdays/livedrill.htm

Paying it forward

Being in customer service myself now, I like to make my support request emails entertaining. Thus I ended my last one like so:

“Any help would be greatly appreciated. I want to get as far away from my old registrar as possible. Realistically, I think that whole place is run by one hamster… and he died.”

Crank

Movies I have totally missed:

Lars and the Real Girl
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End
The Incredibles

Little Miss Sunshine

Recent Goodies I HAVE seen:

WALL-E (I’m in LOVE with this robot - completely)
The Bank Job
Miss Pettigrew Lives For a Day

Wicked Viewer

Posted on July 30th, 2008 in Daily Life | No Comments »

I’ve been using this graphics viewer for a while and it’s fantastic. It’s IrfanView. The thing that really impressed me was when I double-clicked on a PSD, it quickly opened up and showed me what the PSD looked like. That could be fairly annoying but I like it because I don’t always want to go through the whole riggermaroll of opening up PS. Heavy PS users will probably scream ‘Insanity!’.

It also opens up flash movies easily which is nice too.

Obviously, you can have all sorts of tools already on your machine that do all of these things but this is free and it does it all in one place.

My one complaint - the icons available for the program are pretty weird.
