General Software Discussion / Re: How to manage Firefox Smart Location Bar?
« Last post by Tuxman on December 24, 2009, 07:56 AM »
in a rare sense of vanity, the location bar in Firefox 3 is called the 'awesomebar' so do a search on that as well.
-lanux128 (December 24, 2009, 12:02 AM)
The only extension listed there is "Omnibar" AFAIK which is fine but not everything.  8)

You might try "location bar" instead which is still valid for Firefox 3.  :)

General Software Discussion / Re: Good google toolbar (for Firefox) alternative?
« Last post by Tuxman on December 23, 2009, 10:51 PM »
Wide screen does not matter here, as toolbars are mostly horizontal.  :P

I don't expect you to be one of us  ;D, but I thought you actually had a reason to use a separate bar for something you can do well without it.

Why do you want to use screenspace-wasting bars for trivial tasks at all?

It would be nice if there's was a smart location bar "manager" out there, but i couldn't find one.
-superboyac (December 23, 2009, 10:00 PM)
There is a bunch of extensions changing the smart location bar in every possible way, depending on what exactly you want...

1) Its slow compared to Google
-icekin (December 23, 2009, 07:46 PM)
Depends on how you measure it.  ;D

2) The quality of the results is not as good.
-icekin (December 23, 2009, 07:46 PM)
I wouldn't actually call Google's search results "good". Clusty.com is "good" in terms of quality, Google, at least, in terms of quantity.

3) There are no extensions for it. (e.g. Optimize Google for Firefox, or the numerous Greasemonkey scripts)
-icekin (December 23, 2009, 07:46 PM)
;D now that is a criterion I had never thought about.

I strongly advise against using Google for anything. Privacy should be our most important property. I don't want a commercial company to know anything about my personality. (And I don't want it to drive around in cars, taking pictures of me without asking me for permission first.)

This might be because there are a lot less SMF installations, right?

General Software Discussion / Re: Must-have Windows Programs
« Last post by Tuxman on December 23, 2009, 08:11 PM »
Applications I couldn't live without:

Web browser: Mozilla Firefox
File sharing: eMule AnalyZZUL
Instant Messaging: Miranda IM
IRC client: Gamers.IRC (well, I'm in the team, so I actually should use it, too)
Audio player: Winamp
Image viewer: IrfanView

All the other stuff I use, including my mail client and my chosen text editors, are not an actual "must-have" for me, I could easily go with alternatives...

 :Thmbsup:

Well, just for completion, these are my beloved other ones:

Text editors: Notepad++, Vim  :-*
E-Mail: Mozilla Thunderbird (unless I manage to know The Bat! better)
Video player: Media Player Classic Home Cinema
Writing documents and stuff: OpenOffice.org
Controlling Windows: ac'tivAid
Task manager: Process Explorer
Version control: TortoiseSVN, CommitMonitor

Not much platform-independent stuff, I know... but this is not a criterion for me.  :D

I use a real bunch of other applications not fitting into any of the categories above. I just think "must-have" is not "I always had it and it is quite useless for my typical PC usage but I love it".

I would when it's being used to 'process' words.
-40hz (December 22, 2009, 06:54 PM)
Editing text is processing words.

Same goes for EMACS.
-40hz (December 22, 2009, 06:54 PM)
Pah, Emacs.

(We're starting to get seriously off topic here BTW! :tellme:)

You started by proposing a text editor. :P

I didn't know it wasn't made for writing letters though.
-40hz (December 22, 2009, 06:25 PM)
From the WriteMonkey website:
Zenware for full screen distraction free creative writing.

Made for writing contests AFAIK. Of course you can edit every kind of text in it...

Would you say Vim is a word processor then, too?

Wikipedia:
Word processing typically implies the presence of text manipulation functions that extend beyond a basic ability to enter and change text (...)

Stay away from phpBB, it's had too many exploits.

phpBB 3 doesn't have too many of them. milw0rm.com lists a few for SMF, too, so what?

I like phpBB. :)

The Bat! displays unread folders & messages in bold by default.
-Innuendo (December 16, 2009, 10:32 PM)
Hm, you are obviously right. Weird that I missed this.  :o
Thanks.

And for those who want to buy The Bat!...don't forget the discount link here in the forum will save you approx. 50%.
-Innuendo (December 16, 2009, 10:32 PM)
Yet another thanks. I'll wait for the end of the trial period and make a decision then ...  :D

The Bat! is, at least, more resource-friendly than Thunderbird. However I haven't managed to find out yet how (if?) to display unread folders in bold... the only thing that keeps me away from replacing Thunderbird 3 as my default mail client.
(Thunderbird 3 rocks, anyway. So probably does Eudora... but who needs another Postbox?)

« Last post by Tuxman on December 16, 2009, 05:55 PM »
I am currently trying some mail clients (currently being stuck between Thunderbird 3, The Bat! and re-alpine), but Eudora was never my client of choice. Don't know why...  :)
