Switching Over To Firefox

Posted by Nathaniel | Posted in Business, Reviews, Technology, Uncategorized | Posted on 29-03-2008

I have now pretty much decided that my main browser will be Mozilla Firefox. I owe this much to tech-buzz.net and and also part to a guest post by Karthik Kastury. It is about 10 great softwares that really help with a website. I have had Firefox for a while but have not really used it that much. I first installed it by following a link from tech-buzz, up at the top. Since sometime in January then I have been reading tech-buzz, by Thilak Raj Rao.

Now, about Firefox. I am not transferring completely, but with websites I am. I can use IE for stupid stuff like you tube videos or games, sites that don’t help you get very far in life. Well, maybe some of youtube is informational, but you can find written information as well. So, a few of the things or add-ons I installed for Firefox are:

StumbleUpon toolbar, which is just a handy toolbar for stumbleupon access, and will help you find information.

The next one I looked into was scribefire, and I am going to see about OpenDNS when I have more time.

Google calendar and Google notebook also work well. Sorry that there’s no link for those but it automatically logs me in.

The last ones I have invested in so far are Firebug and YSlow which work together and help with viewing stats, performance and things. Basically analyzing things.

The other things I am looking forward to! And be sure to read that post! There you can get short descriptions and complete links to the sites they came from to download them.

*Note* Most of the items listed are Firefox add-ons and therefore are only compatible with Firefox. But Firefox is one of the 10 best softwares.

Morning, Day, or Night?

Posted by Nathaniel | Posted in Uncategorized | Posted on 24-02-2008

I was wondering when to post. They all have different effects on the post and writing style itself, and the traffic, the topic, all kinds of things. Sometimes it’s hard to think of what to write, and that may be at certain times of the day. It’s happened to me! So I was going to ask you guys another perspective of when to post. First let’s give a guideline so that you can make a good decision.

Morning (about wake-up to 11), on weekdays is eliminated because of school. But on the weekends it’s an option, why not? Usually I don’t write in the morning, and am tired, try to sleep, play a game, don’t go on the Internet that much, don’t have much inspiration.

Day (about 11-4), here again it is mostly eliminated due to school. I could write when I got home, at about 3:15-20, but I usually work on my homework then so as not to have any later. On a weekend, this is usually the time I play outside.

Evening (about 4-8-8:30). I didn’t mention this in the title, because 3 sounds better. (~And that just reminded me of a riddle: What is 4 in the morning, 2 in the day/evening, and 3 is 3 at night? See if yo can solve!~). So in the evening, on a weekday I am either still finishing up my homework or watching TV and having dinner etc… On a weekend I may be surfing the web a bit, but mostly I am doing ninja/Jedi training again etc…

Night (until I go to sleep). In the early part of this approx. 2 hour range, I will be FINISHING my homework if I am unfortunate enough to have so much to do. Then the web is mine! Practically all I do. This is my normal time for posting, looking for a job or whatever, anything over the Internet. At my dads it is not a very good place to post . (period). Sometimes I do manage to squeeze one in, but I’m not in the right state of mind. And guess what time it now? 9 something! I hope you got an overview to make a good decision!

So! I hope I get an idea of when would be the best time if I’m not using it already. I know I keep talking about, “Oh, what can I do?” But I am just trying to get the opinion of the readers so I can make this blog a better place. I’ll hopefully see you tomorrow!

Finding Substantial Content

Posted by Nathaniel | Posted in Uncategorized | Posted on 23-02-2008

Finding substantial content to write about is not easy for me. The question of, “What should or can I write about that’s interesting, well designed, and informational?” I am trying to find things on the Internet that would be good to write about. The only reason(s) I don’t like talking about news is 1.) I don’t know much. (But I could easily find out), 2.) Everybody else writes about it. The only reason I don’t like talking about the latest tech is that I’ll feel like a copycat, and I’m thinking to my self that why don’t I write about something I research? I can’t talk about how well my internet marketing company is doing because I don’t have one. So I just talk about what ever is on my mind (like this) and should try to forget about making things better.

Little Reminder

To all you readers of green-flamingo, I just want to make sure that you are voting. Not because it’s “Super Tuesday” around here, but the poll on my blog. Scroll down a little ways and you will see it. I am going to write in detail or more about one of the subjects. The poll ends February 6 at 9:00 (I may extend it, and the poll won’t actually close, so if you vote after I may not notice) Eastern time zone. (plus five hours is that time is more recognized by I think) . Just giving you the update. I you have already voted thank you, your contributions are important.

Just a little planning I may have for this blog, maybe a contest, I won’t tell you what it’s about because then you’d study beforehand. The only problem with that is I don’t know what the prize would be. If you have any suggestions for a prize, please email me at yoda19@bluebottle.com or leave a comment. You may even have a mention just for giving a good suggestion so if you want you can leave your name and website. NO SPAM PLEASE! I hate dealing with spam. So the things to remember as you leave green-flamingo, vote and think about a prize. I hope it all turns out well!
