Bloggermania!

Well, blogging seems to be the latest fad in in the group. With new blogs coming up every other day, its anyones guess how many will survive more than 3 posts. That is the condition the world over it seems(I am not overshooting myself here, I read it in a magazine). Many people start blogs with high ambitions (the easy to use n free services don’t hurt either) but after their initial venture just cant seem to be able to sit down for a while to collect their thoughts and write. I will not produce any judgment here, the same was the case with me but fortunately I was too idle to keep ignoring it for long. I guess its not that people don’t like to post but the tragedy of life is whenever they plan to sit down to write something else interesting(what do u expect when they sit in front of a computer) pops up which they rather be doing. And when they do have a brainwave of an idea…theres not a computer in sight(all from personal experience).

Well, so heres wishing everyone a happy blogging experience..its tough to move those fatty fingers every once in a while but the euphorism after posting is addictive!..

Some Extensions to improve your standard of life

Here are a few extensions (Firefox) after using which you won’t be able to imagine your life without them.
1. Video Downloader – watch videos on YouTube? Save them for posterity
2. Adblock Plus – remove the annoyances….while saving your bandwidth
3. Cooliris Previews – Really cool! Hover above a link to see the target window in a pop-up.
4. DownThemAll – Download manager for firefox.
5. FireFTP – FTP client for firefox, really useful if when you are in college.
6. PDF Download- Gives you options to download or preview when u click on a PDF link.
7. Greasemonkey – for the geek in you…really cool mother of plugins!
Of course search engine plugins of IMDB, Wkikipedia, Youtube are also quintessential for any amateur surfer. Also fun are the various skins (I currently use noia).

All this and more can be found on the official mozilla page. So if you are getting bored in summers, theres your day right there.
