Pictures June 14th, 2007

Two pictures today.

One is a 360 degree star trail panorama. Something that I’ve been meaning to do.

The other is a joke about Battlestar Galactica stolen from reddit.

Firefox Add-ons June 9th, 2007

Just before I reinstall Windows on this computer (due to bloating and herpes,) I would like to list some add-ons (extensions) for Firefox I use incase I forget!

Adblock - Don’t like ads?

del.icio.us Bookmarks - Easy access to your del.icio.us bookmarks, posting bookmarks, but you don’t get inbox items if someone sends you a link.

Download Statusbar - See all your downloads in a status bar. Much better than an pop-up.

DownThemAll - Easily download all of a certain type of file on a web page, even with regular expressions.

Fasterfox - Apparently tweaks your Firefox settings to make your internet faster. I haven’t tested it but I haven’t noticed it get any slower.

Firebug - Excellent for debugging CSS, HTML, AJAX and Javascript in general.

Google Toolbar for Firefox - I only use this for checking PageRank as the other PageRank add-ons don’t seem to work anymore.

IE View Lite - Quickly switch to Internet Explorer within Firefox.

Net Usage Item - Display your Internet usage and statistics in Firefox. Supports many ISPs in Australia. It even supports on-peak and off-peak usage.

StumbleUpon - Good for finding random web sites when you’re bored. Also good for driving traffic to your interesting web sites.

I’ll see you on the other side.

A workmate made a timelapse of google maps street view. It is here. It looks quite cool.

Cool clouds May 30th, 2007

I like clouds. These ones are so cool that they almost look fake.

Street View May 30th, 2007

The new Google Maps Street View is pretty cool, especially when you get views like this. I want these images to be real time now. Come on Google, hurry up!

Oh and on the side, I’ve had an idea to create a timelapse of street view. Just need to work out how to do it automatically…
