Yesterday I posted a quick tip on using MeeTimer, an add-on that counts time online spent on productivity (or otherwise). Now for just a bit more on productivity control, here’s an extension that you might consider installing together with MeeTime.
LeechBlock is a Firefox extension that lets you block time leeching websites like you-know-what. [...]

It seems that made-for-Adsense (MFA) blacklisting is affecting the rest of us earning from Adsense. Digital Inspiration reports of a seemingly across-the-board drop in Adsense earnings by publishers. Coincidentally this is happening during the time when Google cracks down on MFA sites.
Adsense publishers report that earnings per click (EPCs) are down. Clickthrough rates (CTRs) [...]

Let’s all thank Avenue Q for re-emphasizing that the Internet is for porn. What can we do? Sex sells. However, porn is just so easy to access over the Net that it really poses a grave threat to our kids. While there are a lot of parental control software out there, not one has [...]

This one confused me at first. I mean, who would want to see your history as thumbnails on a filmstrip? I think that’s just an overkill for a tab tweak. At least, that was my first impression of ThumbStrips.
But hey, some people might just find it useful. If you’re some forgetful surfer who loses [...]

It’s a marketing war, I tell you. So probably I’m part of the reason why Microsoft and Windows Vista gained some points in the OS market share with my purchase of a laptop with a bundled Vista Home Basic (sucks!). In any case, my purchase made a stat point in Vista’s gain of 3/4 [...]

The Firefox cache is its version of Internet Explorer’s Temporary Internet Files. It’s a local storage of files so that Firefox loads some things locally speeding up the loading process and saving both you and the site some bandwidth.

This just yet end all my about:config tips and tweaks but what a nice way to end it (unless Firefox 3 comes out and we’ve got another set of configuration settings to tinker with). What’s tricky with the about:config tweaks is that you have to strain your eyes for the preference names and manually [...]

Here’s another one to help you with your design woes. As I’ve mentioned for a few posts, one of the best ways you can design your site is through proper color schemes. However, even if you have web tools and palette generators, you might still find it hard especially if you aren’t a pro [...]

Hallelujah!
One feature that I hoped that Google Reader would have is an option to search through feeds. I usually have a thousand plus items in my Reader and browsing through all of them for pertinent information can be a chore. Besides, that’s what Google’s known for, right? So I wonder why it takes a [...]

The last time we featured a Firefox torrent add-on was with FoxTorrent. While it was an interesting add-on, it never had me discarding my main torrents application. Besides, all it does is to use Firefox as an interface for another engine that does the torrent download.
Once installed, it effectively uses Firefox to do the [...]

Internet Explorer is one of the banes of web design and development. And as a web designer, you’re forced to make sites work across platforms especially IE since it is still the dominant browser in terms of usage. The problem is it works quite differently across versions.
Browsershots should be the ideal site for you [...]

Okay, okay. I know I’ve been a critic of Windows Vista and you might be wondering why the heck I’m writing Vista tips. I’ve recently acquired for myself a laptop and it came with a free Windows Vista Home Basic OS. Since I figured I’m still paying for it (even if they say it’s [...]

Tired of all your prototypical pizzas? Maybe it’s time you exploit all those build-your-own pizza options pizza delivery chains offer you. But this would sometimes backfire and you’d end up with something a little too similar like one of their regular pizzas with you paying just a bit more because you had your choice of [...]
