(Thanks to those crazy boffins at C.E.R.N and their very expensive and quite dangerous (if you believe certain kooky science types quoted on CNN and other major news-agencies) Large Hadron Collider which is to be switched on later today 100 meters below Geneva, Switzerland.)
...I sat down in front of my laptop with the intention of writing something intelligent, insightful and interesting about the faults and foibles of the human race in the hope that if scientific progress makes the planet go Boink my final words of wisdom could somehow sway The Grand Whazoo into giving the human race another go at life and what did I spend an hour and a half doing? I played with some of the FireFox 3 add ons.
First on the list was a neat little bit of technical wizardry called Foxsaver which allows you to have a screen saver type slide show of your pictures (or a stream of pictures from the web) right smack bang in the middle of your FireFox window. If you're anything like me and have a nice big folder of your favorite images sat in your drive then this little add on is a must have.
Next up was a nice little toolbar button add on that enables the full range of buttons for FireFox and allows you to pack all your vital things into your toolbar. I personally plumped for the Gmail button, Yahoo mail sign-in button, Wikipedia homepage button, FireFox Add-on button and a couple of others such as print preview button, clipmarks button, delicious tag button and the restart FireFox button. Because of these handy buttons my browser is now a lot cleaner looking as you can see from the screenshot below and is far more functional and easy on the eye.
I'd highly recommend whipping yourself over to the Mozilla add ons web page and grabbing both of these funky little add ons. As far as I'm concerned they're more than good enough to distract you from the end of the world.
