Quckmanager and Stuff.

[swestrup]

So, I'm awake again now. Got up at 1:00 pm today, and coffee was waiting, so all is good. I still haven't finished my reading of comics/slashdot/lj etc this morning, so I think I'm moving kinda slow.

taxlady is currently taking a nap, but she's expressed an interest in going for a drive today and visiting the health-food store for some good bread and cheese. The place closes at 6:00 pm on a Saturday, so I can't take too much longer waking up.

In other news, I've recently become reaquainged with the Mozilla QuickManager, which is a wonderful little tool for finding, downloading and installing mozilla extensions. After installing it, I used it to download and install:

diggler
venkman
preferential
themer
linky
tab scroller
chromedit
deepest sender
radial context
jslib
spiderzilla
live HTTP headers

... and probably a few others. But I actually recommend the above add-ons.

Oo, I really like Radial Context, feels more intuitive than traditional gestures. I've been using bookmarklets to get a lot of the functionality that diggler does, but I'll check it out... Must get tab scroller.

I've yet to get the hang of radial context, but I've kept it installed. Part of the problem is that some of my other extensions added things to the context menu, and radial context doesn't seem to reflect that. More experiments are needed. And I have been using bookmarklets as well. I've been too lazy to learn how to build a bookmarklet or a mozilla app, so I just use whatever I find that does the job.

Radial doesn't automatically add them, but apparently it's fairly simple to modify the config file to add more.

As for bookmarklets, I took a simple search bookmarklet and have just changed the URLs inside to suit various purposes.
