More Geeky Fun With Firefox
by crazyskills on Feb.07, 2009, under tech
This is one of the best innovations I have seen, all the more so when you consider it is a browser addon. It’s called Cooliris.. and it rocks!
Totally the coolest thing to happen to the browser since mouse gestures. You can scroll around, zoom in, click to play video or view higher-resolution stills.. if it were a site out there that was this cool, everyone would be talking about it. And this is something you can use to browse any sort of photo or video website. Rated 5/5 on the crazyskills browser-add-on-o-meter.
Seen enough? Download it for Firefox 3!
Aero transparency in Firefox 3
by crazyskills on Feb.07, 2009, under tech
Something I really like about Vista is the Aero theme. My system rates 5.9 across the board, so it doesn’t slow me down at all, and I think it is really pretty. Anyway, I found a way to get the Aero transparency in the toolbar of Firefox 3. It’s an .xpi installer. Just download the file, and drag it into Firefox. It will then ask you if you want to install - say yes and then you’ll need to restart firefox and you’re good to go. Just wanted to share this with anyone interested..
A Moment of Reflection
by crazyskills on Feb.07, 2009, under stream of consciousness
I used to believe that if I had it all to do again, I would make the same decisions. Every last one of them. I used to believe that it was important to stand by choices and, you know, life is really pretty good. But today, I don’t know. I imagine that some things could be better. Don’t get me wrong. I am pretty damn happy about life as it is right now. I just don’t know if I would be honest saying I would make the same decisions knowing now what I didn’t.
“If I knew back then what I do now, it would all turn out like this…”

I used to think there was something really to that.. And there is. Regrets are never “fun” and it’s important to accept the position you are in, to live in the moment and be happy with that. Yeah, but I’d change some things. I’d have been more patient overall. Yeah. And I’d have represented my work better. Not showing off exactly, but been more comfortable with selling my products - and myself.
They say it’s never too late.
They say a lot of things.
