I know this blog might be turning into a bit of a productivity blog - but believe me, its not intentional & we will be focusing more on design, development & online marketing side of things.
Anyhow, back to this post which i’ve been meaning to write for a fair while now. Tab groups, exactly what it says on the tin, groups of tabs…has almost immediately become my favorite firefox extension.
I am certain that the majority of you reading this have at least 30 tabs open on average - now just imagine them organised.
I have a tab groups called; Office, Project Hub, Zee, Read, Blog & then individual tab groups for each project i am involved with…and frankly it works magnicently, and even though it hasn’t been updated since 1993 - it works with FF3 although you do have configure about:config to use any extension .
Well there we go, Tab Groups - the first extension i install & frankly the last I give up.
ps. A digg, tweet, plurk, dance or general enthusiasm is always appreciated!
Thanks to Todd at Fluidapp.com us Mac users are able to use virtually any app in our menu bars.
The benefits of this, for me at least, are plain to see…Dock space, quick access and genuinely cool. As i mentioned, it works with any site. All you need to do is follow the instructions in Todd’s video which takes literally 2 minutes and you’re done.
After a little digging through the piclens site I find out that piclens - one of our favorite firefox addons - is available for download for firefox 3 beta!
This is pretty exciting news considering the buzz about the addon - and even cooler news is that it supports youtube now! See video below..
For those who use Lorem Ipsum as much as I do, then you might start getting sick of the same ol’ place holder text over and over again.
But wait! There’s hope! Lorem Ipscream takes the everyday boring Lorem Ipsum and gives it flavor! The downfall seems to be they don’t give you enough text to play with.
The other option I have found worthwhile mentioning is Blind Text Generator. Different types, you can set column width, number of words/characters/paragraphs, font styles (font family, leading, kerning, etc) and it’ll even wrap the paragraphs in p tags for you and generate the styles!
Google recently unveiled the release of the Google Toolbox for Mac source code, joining the ranks of Google Data APIs Object-C Library of open source materials available from the internet services giant. The development team calls the collection eclectic, containing apps that are required for most every day tasks. Eventually, the Google Mac Team hopes to have additional utilities, with “more interesting and complex classes”.
