Pimp your Firefox web browser: May 2007
http://extendingfirefox.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 08, 2007. Technically not an extension, but a background skill which will come in useful for changing the default settings in some extensions, or recovering if you suddenly lose one. Like other browsers Firefox has some toolbars which can be customized to your needs. Many toolbars are thinly disguised spyware, but some are very useful and reputable. By default there are three. File, Edit, View, History, Tools and Help drop down menu's. Back, Forward, Refresh, Stop, Home and the URL box.

My YouTube channel: A Mark King bass guitar solo
http://playingnowonthetube.blogspot.com/2007/05/mark-king-bass-guitar-solo.html
Thursday, May 10, 2007. A Mark King bass guitar solo. I never really liked the 80's band Level 42, but their singer and bass player Mark King is a brilliant musician. This is just one example of his slap and pop technique. Posted by Dirk Gently. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). To share videos I've found on YouTube.

Thursday, May 10, 2007. The Long Dark Tea-Time Of The Soul by Douglas Adams. The trouble with the sort of shop that sells things like magnifying glasses and penknives is that they tend also to sell all kinds of other fascinating things, like the quite extraordinary device with which Dirk eventually emerged after having been hopelessly unable to decide between the knife with the built-in Philips screwdriver, toothpick and ball-point pen and the one with the 13-tooth gristle saw and the tig- welded rivets.

Just another tiny gust of wind in the storm: Return of the mainframe?
http://mosquitofart.blogspot.com/2007/05/this-is-test-post-i-want-to-set-all-my.html
Tuesday, May 08, 2007. Return of the mainframe? The PC has evolved from being standalone machines which don't talk to each other, through dumb terminals which get their resources and documents from a central mainframe, to a combination of both as we have now. Our PCs are now more connected on OUR terms than ever before.although this may be another phase, if we all follow the Google marketing plans. Or is it more likely to be a marketing strategy? Google are the the most popular search engine by a long wa...

Just another tiny gust of wind in the storm: The Vista verdict
http://mosquitofart.blogspot.com/2007/05/vista-verdict.html
Saturday, May 12, 2007. So Microsoft have finally launched the much delayed, much lambasted successor to XP Pro on the general public; who on the whole feel betrayed. So what's the big deal? Is the public reaction fair? I've decided to go into this for the non-techies as a general comparison guide. Microsoft are well known for applying the "most secure Windows yet" tag to their new product, only to have hackers start finding exploits within days. It's a sales pitch, NOT an unbiased opinion. This level of...

The power of the written word: Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams
http://novelextracts.blogspot.com/2007/05/test-post.html
Tuesday, May 08, 2007. Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams. High on a rocky promontory sat an Electric Monk on a bored horse. From under its rough woven cowl the Monk gazed unblinkingly down into another valley, with which it was having a problem. How long did the Monk believe these things? So what of this horse, then, that actually held opinions, and was skeptical about things? Unusual behavior for a horse, wasn’t it? An unusual horse perhaps? No Although it was certainly a handsome...
