Google Notebook

Google continues to become more and more useful. Other than the Ask section, I never use Yahoo! any more. Just tried the Notebook function and FF add-on. Rather than copying a chunk of data to a local file and then possibly forget to take it to home/work with me, I can drop it in a GN and have it handy where ever. Later, if I want to put it in my Clie or format it to a specific file, I've got it. Very sweet Google.

Updated Adblock Plus Text File

Edited 20 Apr 06: Posted updated file.

Posted latest update of Adblock Plus ad text file in Savefile.com folder. As usual, type in brick to access the folder.

If you have Firefox and don't have Adblock Plus, you don't know what you're missing, or in this case, not missing. AB+ is a sweet FireFox extension that blocks images from web sites, using the usual wildcards. Who is the worst culprits, site adverts of course. It's amazing just how much faster web pages appear when the browser doesn't have to load a buncha ad-crap along with the good stuff. You choose which sites are blocked and the list is exportable to text file. Makes it so very nice when I install AB+ on a user's 'puter.

More Fixed FF 1.5.0.1 Extensions

Edited 20 Apr 06:
Savefile.com has removed them.

Added two more extensions, Tabrowser Preferences 1.2.8.8 and Zoomy 2.0 to my Savefiles project folder Firefox Extensions Fixed. As before, these the fix lets you use them in FF 1.5.0.1 while you wait on the author to come up with a real solution. As usual, type in brick to access the folder.

Savefile.com Free File Hosting

Per my previous posting, I fixed some FireFox extensions for 1.5+., but I can't always access them from work depending on where I'm at or who I'm logged in as. Came across a very sweet service, the free filehoster Savefile.com. You create an account, then a project folder, then you upload the file(s). If you like, you can add a password, per project. Easy-peasy, not even queasy.

The three FireFox extensions I fixed are External Applications 1.7.1, MapIt 1.7.2, and Ook. I've also uploaded my current Adblock Plus "bad ad" text file. If you want to give them a go, you do so at your own risk. My software-blogsite disclaimer is in force for these as well. As of this posting, the password brick will get you in all my projects/files. The Savefile projects are FireFox Extensions Fixed and Adblock Plus Text File.
