Before I accidently destroyed my Firefox profile I had this great extension called “Search Button” that among many other things will clear the search bar after pressing enter.

There are a ton of third party tools for windows that map an encrypted image file to a drive letter (such as Cryptainer LE) so I figured I’d go look around to see how to do it in linux. http://www.saout.de/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=looptutorial has a great tutorial on how to set this up, but here’s a quick listing [...]

One of the things that has constantly bugged me since I switched to linux is that KDE does not use the freedesktop.org tray icon specification, but rather has it’s own. The result of this is that if you launch a KDE application that has a tray icon from gnome the icon is displayed in a [...]

There appears to be some (new?) AIM virus going around. From what I can tell it spreads using the IE ActiveX installer (isn’t that thing just so great?) Once infected, at the very least it overrides the user’s AIM profile and replaces it with the URL to the site with the virus, and sends a [...]

I got my LCD today, one day ahead of what FedEx’s site said. It rocks, big screen, small frame, very bright, NO dead pixels, no ghosting in UT2004. I’m very happy with it :). Now just what to do with these two 17″ CRTs…..
