Firefox Extensions
Jan 10th
Thought this might double up as a note of the firefox extensions I currently have installed — I’ve tried getting this to script, but, the source file isn’t something I’m over-familiar with, and getting fields to match-up ain’t happening, due to my crapness.
Anyhow, I would appear to have these firefox extensions installed:
- Adblock Plus
- AutoPager
- BetterFlickr
- Better YouTube
- Delicious Bookmarks
- DownloadHelper
- Echofon
- Extended Statusbar
- Fast Video Downloader (with SearchMenu)
- Firebug
- Firefox (default)
- Firefox (en-GB)
- Flagfox
- Flashblock
- Gmail Manager
- Greasefire
- Greasemonkey
- Image Download
- Image Zoom
- Inline Code Finder for Firebug
- is.gd Creator
- JavaScript Options
- keyconfig
- Magic’s Video Downloader
- oldbar
- Password Exporter
- Save Image in Folder [sic]
- ShowIP
- SkipScreen
- TinyUrl Creator
- Ubuntu Firefox Modificiations
- URL Fixer
- VMware Remote Console Plug-In
- Xulrunner (en-GB)
- YesScript
A few of those don’t have links I can identify from the URI.
Want some code that vaguely does this for you?

Installing Microsoft Windows
Aug 22nd
Gah. It’s been quite a while since I’ve needed to install Windows on a stand-alone set-up. I’d forgotten how much stuff I find is needed to actually make the thing frikkin useful.
As this blog doubles up for my memory pad, here’s the list of stuff that I’ve just installed:
- Firefox
- Thunderbird
- WinSCP
- PuTTY
- Spybot
- Avast
- OpenOffice
- Pidgin
- XChat (silverx’s)
- The MS PowerToys
- Flash Player
- AIR
- Acrobat Reader
- GVim
- GIMP
- iTunes
- VLC
SP3 (given that my Windows disk is Slipstreamed with SP2)
I guess there will be more stuff to install — the MS Viewers seem likely, as will another 400Megs of patches and things…
