Organizing Posted at 00:28 by Eric

I'm trying to get some things a bit more organized here on the computer front. For someone who uses computers so much, I can be awefully disorganized.

I finally setup an RSS Aggregator. I'm trying out Sage for Firefox, which seems to do pretty well. I put all the blogs I frequent in there, and added other folders for World News, Tech News, and the like.

You'd be appauled at how my bookmarks currently look. I have a few folders on my toolbar, but in general, most of them are just in the big bookmark list.

I went through and made folders for all of them, and cleaned up a lot of junk that didn't need to be on the toolbar. Hopefully they'll actually be useful now.

I also added some Firefox plugins. As Nate's been mentioning, GreaseMonkey really does let you do some l33t hax0ring. In fact, it brought to light a mind boggling error on a web app I use that most certainly belongs on The Daily WTF. I'll discuss that in more depth shortly :-)

I had also forgotten to install the HttpHeaders plugin, which I have on there now.

Now I just need to find a way to keep the state between multiple FireFox instances. I have this suspicion that it wasn't made to work that way, but I'm undeterred :-) At the very least, closing FF should copy everything out to a central repository, and opening it should pull it down. But it'd be much better if there were a way to do that without having to close it down. Alas, the -HUP signal kills FF, so there needs to be some other way to have it reread everything.
