Firefox plugins

Long back I thought of writing these tools for you; but was not getting time to filter out the correct ones form 100+ plugins in mozilla website.

These are the plugins that currently I am using. & this is not for fun. Everyday I start my comp and will continue with them. And most of them are important from a programmer point of view while carrying a project or blogging.

The practical usage of these plugins are as below and without any hesitation you may download them. If you find there are something which can help me in this line, please do add those.

Aging Tabs :: Firefox Add-ons
Makes unused tabs fade with age and highlights the selected tab.rnrnThis extension is intended to be used along with the Firefox default theme on Windows. Other themes are potentially incompatible.

ColorZilla
Advanced Eyedropper, ColorPicker, Page Zoomer and other colorful goodies. Need not to go some online site or colorpicker exe, it will show a small icon in your browser and that you may customize by right click. Really excellent.

Firebug 1.05
Firebug integrates with Firefox to put a wealth of development tools at your fingertips while you browse. You can edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page. I cant fix tweaks in my webpage without this. And also I code DOM very easily in java script. Any help let me know. You may edit the code of a page and can test the result in fly.

IE View 1.3.7
Lets you load pages in IE with a single right-click, or mark certain sites to *always* load in IE. Useful for incompatible pages, or cross-browser testing. Assume a case when you need to check the developed page in both IE& FF, a solid tool. Just right click in FF and click to say “Open in IE”.

Indian Stock Market 1.1
Provides current BSE/NSE Sensex value into your Firefox statusbar. Right click to select the stock exchange. It will automatically refreshes after every 30 minutes. That’s my business updater.

ScribeFire 1.4.7
ScribeFire (previously Performancing for Firefox) is a full-featured blog editor that integrates with your browser and lets you easily post to your blog. You can drag and drop formatted text from pages you are browsing, take notes, and post to your blog. I am a blogger so need to have it.

Cooliris Previews
Cooliris Previews gives you the power to browse and share Web links and rich media faster. Just mouse over any link, and the Cooliris preview window immediately appears to show you the content.

Signature
Insert custom text into posts and emails. (ie attach a signature to your emails) . Useful when are you into some project and you need to sign i/sign out a no. of times or you need to enter the same email-id again & again.

Learn from mistakes

SHOCK, HORROR, DISASTER

Your MARK SHEET must have got exchanged. The examiner must have been out of his mind. The exam system should be abolished. You cant understand

HOW IT HAPPENED,

but it has HAPPENED, You have not done as well as

YOU EXPECTED…..

Or

as well as everyone

EXPECTED YOU TO DO.

NOW WHAT ???

After the tears,

Begin the fears…

WHAT WILL I DO?

WHERE WILL I GO?

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE REST OF MY LIFE?

GET UP! STAND UP!

Don’t Give Up the FIGHT!

You gonna win one day, Yes you do, you do….just do it.

Every mistake ought to be a lesson, showing us new and positive times of thought and conduct which we had never appreciated before.

  • Accidents are part of the essential experience of life.
  • Don’t try to hide or excuse the mistakes done by you.
  • Don’t become embittered or frustrated by your mistakes.
  • Learn from your mistakes.

Mistakes can either be grindstones wearing away faith and confidence and ability, or they can be stepping stones on which we rise to finer character and richer achievements.
The best thing to do when we have made a mistake is to admit it.

This is what I used to have at my cupboard during my Engineering.

Mumbai Meri Jaan

Wo Bhajan gane ki aawaj aa rahi thi,
Uncle jee busy the shabdpat (crossword game) solve karne me,
Bhai Saab was pretending to be asleep when I asked him “Bhaiya thori jagah do na!”
This gentleman was stick to Business Times,
The other lean chap in glass was balancing the laptop over his poor shoulder.
Meanwhile somebody kicked me from back and started singing a song: 10rupye me 12 santre lo – Khatta Mittha.

Finally I took a corner, plugged my iPod, clamped my hands blessed by those hathkadi (hanging iron bars)…thanked GOD, I could reach Vashi Railway Station safely.

This was a scenario for me; I never felt it would be a never forgettable login form for everyday similar to our orbit login@v2.

Yes-dear friends—truly, this is the most vibrant artifact LOCAL TRAIN in Mumbai.
In fact I was quite excited about my coming from Bangalore to this mind-blowing metro, but the crowd realized my
GK that why is it known as THE CITY OF INDIA’S ECONOMY. Well there is a lot about this urbanized domain, but LT(short for Local train…) is one, which pays your attention quickly. Damn!! The way people get on and get down ………

 

The most amazing fact is, every compartment will be THRICE overloaded, but still those uncles will be complaining about their boss, examinees are inhaling their notes, Radiocity is live with that funk, couples have got a good hold on each other & communicating in 143 binary codes (Oops!! you and I cant break that cipher), Hmm… he could ignore that stinking guy in the same shirt since last Diwali, you got a phone call – No problem except that sometimes poor signals make you a center of attraction in the crowd.

 

More to say here… AD companies don’t need an advertisement board. Bring your posters and train is the best place for its agile publicity. You want PAN card agent, Shaktibhog aata, jobs@home, hair plus-plus, obesity minus-minus, movie@theater, Maa Shakti ka Pravachan or stuff may take care of your health. Everything is in your dubba. Just keep on your eyes on what are you looking for?

 

I loved it…. I really liked the way Government is managing this bulky hardware and moreover the people are managing them into this complex clustered architecture. One thing I started not believing & it’s my wristwatch; coz digital watch on the platform looks greater efficient and more useful than watch in my hand.

 

Probably Mumbai LT is the best example of a human life, which may begin with so much struggle & kind of adjustment we do in between, manage the people/belongings around us & finally get down at your destination with a great contentment.

 

So what is there to learn from this? Yes it is the TIME FACTOR.

 

Despite the crowds, shouting, struggles and adjustments, train reaches to a destination at right time. Hardly we find any fluctuation of over a minute or two. So why can’t we be like that?

 

Why do we always blame others?
Why do we always put others in question escaping ourselves?
Why do we always disrespect a system?

 

Thanks to those daily passengers admitted their gratitude towards LT by putting posters in few bogies & stating: “Happy DurgaPooja from 8:40 group”. I feel great about them, I feel great about LT who promised to be always on track@right time. Plunge forward! I say to them.

 

Hence take a lesson from LT and always deliver things@right time in your life despite your problems.
Be punctual & be fast, cause..

Gadi bula rahi hai, siti baja rahi ha
Chalna hi zindgi hi, chalti hi ja rahi ha……………………..
