Hurry up and wait! Thats the way of the truck driver as well as the soldier. After hustling to make it from my pick up in PDX to my delivery in Grand Forks, ND by Wednesday so I would not have to sit over Thanksgiving to deliver on Friday, I end up sitting in Fargo waiting to drive to Schuyler, NE to pick up a load going Kentucky bound.
Now, I find it harder and harder to be unproductive and so I got to searching around for plug ins for Firefox. First one I installed as an addition to the many fine ones already installed (I may cover those at a latter date) was Foxmarks which is a Bookmarks Synchronizer and in the same category I installed Bookmark Duplicate Detector. Foxmarks has become almost a necessity since I now run multiple platforms on the two PC’s that I have in my truck, not to mention my PC’s at home.
You simply sign up to the Foxmarks site and Sync up Baby! BDD is as nearly necessary but I only needed to use it once and on only one OS. I am simply a total bum when it comes to organization. Extremely lazy, I am. The bookmarks were relatively as humongous a mess as the Sleeperberth Studios.
The final plug in (so far) that I have installed over this Thanksgiving Down Time is Deepest Sender. This is simply a blog extension/add on that works with Blogger/Wordpress/LiveJournal. This will be my first post using the plug in.
Finally, a little side note is, I have finally taken the plunge and upgraded my desktop to IE7. What little time I have spent using it has demonstrated to me that IE has finally matured, yet the power of Open Source still shines with the broad range of plug ins available for use in the Firefox browser. Even if IE7 does start to make development tools available for creating plug ins, which is entirely likely since there is this IE7 plug in site in beta, they continue to march down the path of playing catch up.
