Oct 08, 2008 How to enable Firefox's inline spell check for all text inputs

$How to enable Firefox\'s inline spell check for all text inputs$ Admittedly I have become rather dependent on firefox's inline spell check; So much so, in fact, that I often find myself wishing it would work in more than just textareas, namely textboxes (the single-line inputs). Well I just found out a neat configuration modification to enable the spell check for all text inputs. Cheers to a lazy linguistics! :)

Dec 27, 2007 Let google take care of your spam filtering!

I own quite a few domains, and every one has at least one email attached to it. Ive had as many as 15 accounts hooked to my email client before (which at the time was Outlook), and it always had some serious lag checking all of them greatly due to the fact that 99% of crap mail made it through outlook's junk filter - making my inbox bulge with mails about cheap pills, webcam sites, and some other amusing but annoying ads.

Dec 26, 2007 Linux: Tweak Amarok score algorithm

I just started using the Amarok music player, having decided to ditch Rhythmbox due to its lack of features. I was interested in finding out how the the scoring algorithms worked in Amarok so naturally I hit up google for my quest of knowledge. What I found is that the default algorithm is very basic and just doesn't quite cut it. But not to fear, the scoring system uses a python script that is easily editable... w00t!

One really neat thing with modern browsers is the ability to open multiple sites in just one browser window by using tabs. One thing that you might not know, is that you can middle-click (by pressing the scroll wheel on your mouse) on links to have them opened in a new tab.

Dec 21, 2007 What was ZEND thinking? Java is a terrible language!

Since i switched over to Linux as my primary operating system, I've been using Zend Studio for my web development IDE. I really enjoyed the features it has such as on-the-fly function descriptions and drop-down auto complete. But there is one HUGE issue; It is written in the pathetically inefficient language known as Java.

Dec 20, 2007 Top 5 ways to save money in 2008

Bookkeeping might seem very redundant to the average person, but it can help tremendously when it comes to saving money and keeping a very close eye on every penny spent. By using a bookkeeping software and keeping it updated daily, you not only get a new perspective of your cash flow, but you can also see how much you've spent on certain things throughout the year such as groceries, gas, phone bill, etc. When you see these things add up, you might be more likely to shop with money-saving in mind and think twice before buying that little something that you really don't need while grocery shopping. You might even find yourself making it a game to see where you can cut costs! Bookkeeping also allows you to see all your account balances at a glance, as well as your total assets and liabilities.
