Reclaim your inbox
One month after the release of Mozilla’s Firefox 1.0, it’s now time to reclaim your inbox with Thunderbird 1.0.
Software updates
Yesterday evening, I updated my laptop with some nice new software.
Naturally, I installed Mozilla Firefox 1.0, together with some very useful extensions, such as:
- the Web Developer extension (tipped by Vincent), with all kinds of functions that come in handy if you’re developing a web page,
- the User Agent Switcher extension, for when you come across a site that wants you to use IE,
- the Mouse Gestures extension, for executing common commands with click-and-drag,
- the Tabbrowser extension, giving a lot of extended tabbed browsing functionality.
Other extensions (see for example mozdev.org or Extension Room) that I still want to install, or at least try:
- Diggler, adding one powerful button to the address bar,
- Prefbar, adding a toolbar for quick access to your preferences,
- GMail Notifier, for… well, you can guess.
After Firefox, I installed the new Mozilla Thunderbird 0.9, also with some extensions:
- Enigmail, for PGP encryption and authentication,
- Forumzilla, for reading news and weblog (RSS) feeds.
Finally, I installed Konfabulator, after reading this entry on Mijnkopthee.nl. That looks really nice! I’ve been playing around with some of the widgets, but there are lots and lots more to explore!
How about:
- showing the battery level of your laptop with an analog fuel-gauge type meter,
- a clock that counts down to the release date of Star Wars Episode 3,
- keeping an eye on the Pittsburgh traffic.
