Firefox Extensions
If you haven’t switched to Firefox yet, I am writing you off. You are officially, in my mind, a lost cause taking up too much space and with every waking second swallowing more oxygen than you deserve.
If you have switched to Firefox, good for you. Just make sure you have the most up to date version… 1.0. You can get it here.
Next, there are a few extensions that I highly recommend, and a few that I think are cool, but wouldn’s necesarily say they are worth my praise. If you are a web developer, or have any sort of incling to look into what web developers go through, get the Web Developer Toolbar. Or if you have any need to ever upload anything to an FTP server, get FireFTP. If you are a Cox subscriber like me, or have an ISP that you aren’t wholly trusting of, get the Bandwidth Tester. Or if you would rather try to improve your browsing speed on your own end, get the Tweak Network Settings Extension. If you listen to (pirated) music on your computer get FoxyTunes and control WinAmp via a tiny toolbar at the bottom of your browser window rather than switching back and forth. If you read a lot of blogs, or are interested in finding out what “xml” and/or “rss” is all about, get Sage RSS Aggregator. Meanwhile, if you think the Department of Homeland Security’s Threat Advisory Level is a joke, get Threat Level Satus Bar.
Basically, now that you have switched to the better browsing experience of Firefox, put the program to its full potential for you. Get what you can use.
Finally, make sure you are using all of the features already built in. My favorites is tabbed browsing (push ctrl + t) rather than opening a whole new window, just open a new tab. Another useful feature of firefox is the built in websearch toolbar (push ctrl + k). Lastly, the webpage search (push ctrl + f) which highlights the first match as you type and can be used on multiple tabs at a time.

MY OTHER WEBSITE Launched
Feel free to surf on over to MY OTHER WEBSITE WHICH CAN NO LONGER BE NAMED HERE BECAUSE OF THE MAN.
This site is going to be more for my own notes and such, but everyone is welcome to check it out if they feel so inclined. I’m always open to hearing if anyone has any job leads, contacts, etc. Thanks to Payne it has already helped! Also, I wouldn’t consider myself too selfish and if anyone wants more information on any of the posts over there relating to jobs and such just let me know.

Presidential Polls
Sitting in front of the big screen downstairs in the MU this morning I almost had to scream. The tv, as usual, was set to Fox News Channel, which doesn’t happen to be my favorite, but is not something I was overly angry about. What led to my near rage was the news being reported. Wait, not that it wasn’t newsworthy content, but in my oh so humble opinion, the news was poorly chosen.
Specifically, in the Kristol Clear report, Fox News reported results from two polls regarding America’s outlook on President Bush. First they reported that 56% of Americans polled were optimistic about Bush’s second term, while 39% were pessimistic. Then, seconds later, they reported that the same poll has 54% of respondents saying they have clear concerns about Bush’s agenda. That is not Kristol Clear.
In other news, the fact that Ozzie Osbourne tried to wrestle intruding burglars in his home only further proves that the dude is brain fried beyond belief. Which leads me to my next point, DON’T DO CRACK.
Finally, in regards to the Detroit vs. Indiana “Basketbrawl,” Ron Artest is a punk and deserves the year long suspension and Stephen Jackson and Jermaine O’Neal are gravy trainers and wouldn’t have had shit for a season anyway without Artest. With that said, the Detroit fans embarrassed themselves. They didn’t embarrass themselves by acting out of line so much as they fought like pussies! Even the dude that squared up with Artest took two quick blows and didn’t get a single one off himself.

Assassins
Our favorite brotherhood event is under way. Let’s just say there are more twists then I could ever have imagined. People are thinking all kinds of things. Someone asked me today if I was flying solo!
Stop kidding yourselves and leave a comment explaining why I should be nice and only spray you a little bit. Or… talk shit and count down the hours til I kill enough teams to get to you.
