Hi! This is Mooquackwooftweetmeow, a collection of stuff by Greg K Nicholson.

Entries labelled ‘software’

  1. Big New Tab Button An add-on for Firefox. It makes the New Tab button bigger.
  2. Remove Close Buttons from Tabs A self-explanatorily–named Firefox add-on.
  3. Just Give Me A Back Button An extension to remove the Forward button from Firefox.
  4. How to set up a Canon i250 printer in Ubuntu 8.10 A script to set up a Canon i250 printer in Ubuntu 8.10
  5. How To Make Scroll Bars A Little Bit Easier To Use If I say this was inspired by the iPhone's user interface will it get me more hits? (I thought of this while reading about how the iPhone forgives sloppy keypresses.)
  6. Google Desktop 2 Really Annoys Me Google's trademark people might not want to read this.
  7. Google Desktop 2 Fourteen hours too late.
  8. Microsoft Desktool MSN Windows Search...top...bar Now you can look at things stored on your computer... using MSN!!!
  9. Netscape 4 is newer than Internet Explorer 6 If you thought Netscape 4 was outdated, check out IE6.
  10. It's a Weblog Entry! What - the title isn't descriptive enough?
  11. Jukefox Why does no-one listen to you when you're right?
  12. IEBlank The Internet Explorer gang's collective web browsing knowledge
  13. Firefox extension wackiness Firefox extensions prompt much mirth
  14. Bye Bye, Sharpreader Since the demise of the free FeedDemon betas, I'd been using Sharpreader or Wildgrape NewsDesk (depending on what mood I was in) to read RSS feeds. Neither was perfect, but I'd settled on Sharpreader, despite the oh-so-slow notification pop-ups (this on a 2.5GHz machine...). But today I thought I'd give the RSS Reader Panel for Firefox (http://texturizer.net/firefox/extensions/#rssreaderpanel) another try. Guess what? It's pretty good. The Open In Contents Area option now produces a spiffy-looking display, with the option of customising the CSS used (so you can't complain even if you don't like it).
  15. VirtuaWin Multiple-desktop-ery is allegedly a somewhat standard feature of Linux desktops; here on Windows, however, it's incredibly cool. Two desktop multifiers for Windows that I've recently used are DoubleDesktop (http://www.fatfreesoft.com/) and VirtuaWin (http://virtuawin.sf.net/).
  16. Winwall I had been using Microsoft's Wallpaper Powertoy to rotate my desktop backgrounds; I now use Winwall (http://net-session.com/winwall/). The biggest limitation of Microsoft's Powertoy is that it only recognises GIF (boo!), JPEG and BMP images - i.e. not PNGs. Winwall, however, recognises all four formats (and probably more), and its automatic resizing looks much nicer. The program is closed source, but freeware.
  17. Take Back the Web This is the bit where I talk about Mozilla Firefox for a while
