Firefox Plugins
5 Comments
If you are like me, you have moved into the upper echelon of human beings and started browsing the web with Mozilla Firefox.
Found this page that has a nice list of Firefox plugins: http://willlangford.com/geekpages/firefox/
Plugins I have found useful are:
1) The IE Tab Plugin: Allows you to embed Internet Explorer into your Firefox tabs. You may ask, why I would want to use IE? Well, I shall answer: There is only one time I need to use IE, and it is at work to access my time sheets. For some reason the time sheet page isn’t compatible with Firefox yet. ONLY TIME!
2) GMail Notifier: VERY small and inconspicuous notifier tells me when I have new mail.
3) Adblock: As a dialup user, the ability to block ads inside webpages serves me a lot.
Verizon Fiber Optics can’t come soon enough!
Today on the job

Today at work I spent about 6 hours getting paid to read up and learn about the Solaris 9 operating system and Sun servers.
I put together some nifty info cheat sheets to help me navigate through Solaris — hopefully I won't need them for long though.
Last week my boss helped me set up my own Sun Enterprise 250 server in the downstairs test-bed so I could practice all my stuff on it. I've got Reflection X shell installed on my PC so I can work from my cube upstairs. The E250 isn't the newest or greatest, but at least i've got the whole machine to myself to practice on 
Anyway, this ain't the most exciting stuff, but hey — can't beat getting paid to learn 
The Godfather PC Game
10 Comments
Okay, so I mentioned earlier that I watched the Godfather and loved it. Now I saw that they just recently released The Godfather for PC.
I was walking through Target the other day, and while browsing the electronics section I saw The Godfather for PC! I looked through the strategy guide they had and some other stuff, and I almost bought the game, but I havn't even finished HL2 single player yet, so I figured i'd wait to see the reviews…etc.
Well the reviews are out, and at gamespot it gets an 8.1 out of 10, which is pretty good, but not REALLY good. Here's the good and bad from Gamespot:
The Good: The game makes great use of the film license; plenty of challenging, multitiered missions to keep you busy; fun combat and interrogation system; you can explore a great-looking, expansive map of 1940s new york, with no load times; good music.
The Bad: Heavily recycled character and vehicle models, as well as building interiors; occasionally glitchy and stupid artificial intelligence; unstable frame rate.
Obviously, i'm not going to post the entire review here, but you can check it out for youself here.
You can be sure this is a game I will be getting in the near future! (After I finish HL2, of course)
