He’s Just Had Coffee

A few days ago I started using Firefox 2.0 on my Mac. I switched to Firefox from Safari a few weeks ago and managed to find a skin I kinda liked and an extension that gave me window-close buttons on each tab (rather than the error-prone single window-close button at the end of the tab bar).

Imagine my delight to find that, not only does Firefox 2.0 look real purty and have the tab close buttons it also has features I haven’t had since I used Opera on Linux - sessions are persistent (if you want) and you can reorder tabs! That last bit might not seem useful, but I find myself using the browser as a presentation tool, paging through sets of related pages in class to show various things out on the web - it’s so much easier to pull that off if the tabs are in the right order…

I tried the del.icio.us add-on as well, but I had almost exactly the same mix of excited and horrified reactions danah did when my bookmarks all disappeared.

I’m playing with coComment right now and I may end up winding into this blog a little more. It seems to offer a sorely needed function: gathering the comments you make all over the web into one place. I need to play with it a little more to work out if it’s all that.

More soon on that last…
