Who I Am

I am a second year BSD Student. I have been a long time computer junkie, but my programming fascination is pretty recent. My first dabble with Linux was in 1999 using Red Hate Linux 5.2 on a 486. I have also done a lot of building of computers, which I taught myself.

Where I Am

I live in Toronto, the west end. I have a 2.5h trip each way. GRR!

When I Am

Well, that doesnt make sense, but I was born December 2, 1986.

Why I Am

Why am I not?

Good right now, but that may change

My Projects

Code Indexer

I am working on a implementing a replacement code indexer for Mozilla right now. Code Indexer

My Firefox

Settings

browser.tabs.autoHide false
browser.tabs.closeButtons 0

Addons

Since i *hate* parts of the new FF theme (2.0 Beta2 was much nicer) I am using GrayModern
I use:

  • IETab - Use IE to render some pages
  • FasterFox - Speed up Firefox, you need to hack it for 2.0 compatibility
  • UnPlug - Get embedded media off the web, better than VideoDownloader
  • FEBE - Save your settings, rebuild your themes into Jars and your extensions to XPI's for backup
  • infoRSS - Neat RSS Reader thing
  • PDF Downloader - Intercept PDF's
  • NoScript - Whitelist JavaScript sources
  • AdBlock Pro - No more ads, i use the EasyNet subscription
  • ErrorZilla - special error pages, really useful
  • Web Developer - Useful for the people in the name

Neat about:config reference
