Software exploration
Saturday, January 10th, 2004It finally feels like I’ve caught my groooooove again, here at work.
I’m no longer surfing the web at random… I claim those hours as my “learning time”, but that’s a big BS. Yes, I’m learning new things here and there, but I don’t have a specific target on what to learn.
Actually, I found couple new softwares while I was exploring. Both were interesting, but I got tired of them pretty quickly.
| MyIE2 | Internet Explorer with tabbed browsing. It even has built-in ad & popup blocker. At first, I thought it’s pretty cool. It works well. It’s fast. And it’s really not annoying. But after a while, I started going back to my old browser, Firebird. The performance sometimes get sluggish, but it’s still a good browser. Add the Adblock plug-in, and it’s excellent. (For those who want to use Adblock, you might find this list of filters useful.) |
| PSPad | A freeware text editor that doesn’t suck! Really, it’s a good piece of software. It just doesn’t fit within my taste, after getting used to TextPad (for Windows) or Vim (for unix/linux (I still use Vim on windows from time to time. It’s also free too.)). Some people might just find it as the text editor of the choice. |
P.S.
While writing this entry, I found out that Mozilla doesn’t like HTML class name that starts with numeric character. Bleh.
