Firefox: Trivial User Interface Extensions in firefox on Sun, Oct 7. 2007
Firefox, as it comes be default, has several inane UI choices, so I'm going to list some extensions here that make it a
good deal saner:

Firefox: Keyword Search in firefox on Sat, Aug 18. 2007
For the first in this series, I'll talk about Keyword Search. This is actually a built-in feature of firefox, made more
useful by an extension called 'Smart Search'.
The feature is explained on the keyword searches. That page explains in in a rather odd way, so I will try to do it better.

Firefox in firefox on Fri, Aug 17. 2007
Here's I'm going to tell you about all the Firefox extensions I use. I've repackaged them all and have them locally, so
you can install them from here, and I've also included links to their page so you can go over there. Sometimes I'll
write articles about more than one extension, and I'll additionally have all of them packaged into one file so you can
download them at one time.
I'll also talk about some of the overlooked and useful features built in.
If anyone has suggestions as to extensions or features, feel free to add them in the comments.

Software I Use: Notepad++ in software on Fri, Aug 10. 2007
The Notepad that comes with Windows is a prime example of how Microsoft doesn't understand what sort of software is
supposed to come with operating system. A useful text editor is right up there at the time, but Notepad is broken and
defective by design in so many different ways that this would turn into a rant if I listed them all.
So, instead, I shall list Notepad++. Download it, install it, use it, and stop worrying.

Software I Use in software on Fri, Aug 10. 2007
This series is going to be talking about stuff I use on my computer to get my work done. Sometimes they're not the most
popular, and I'm sure others will take issue with them, but I'm not issuing awards or anything, I'm simply saying that
I, personally, use them right now. My computer is running Windows XP, so you can assume all the software here will work
on it, although I'll try to note if there's some other OSes supported.
A lot of this software will be free software, either as in beer and/or as in speech. Some of it won't.
