Mozilla, Firefox, and Thunderbird Extensions and Themes I just found this cool site, Mozilla Update. It has all kinds of extensions and themes for Mozilla, Firefox, and Thunderbird.

I also saw Texturizer.net shown on The Screen Savers on G4techTV. It has hundreds of of extensions for Firefox.  ¶ 8:57 PM 0 comments

  Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird Updated Mozilla has updated their stand-alone browser and email program, Firefox and Thunderbird, respectively. They are both relatively small downloads and seem faster than the complete Mozilla download.  ¶ 11:27 AM 0 comments

  My MMOG pick This is one of the few games (or maybe online environments) that I have continued to play (experience?) for close to a year. It is Second Life. There are so many things to do in the game. Residents hold daily events that are fun. Residents are also given most of the same tools that the developers use to create the world. This means you can build objects and script them to do just about anything. There is a 7 day trial available as well as a basic, one-time payment subscription available, in addition to premium accounts that allow you to own parcels of virtual land. Give it a try.

If you do decide to sign up, add me (Zak Escher) as a reference. I could use the L$. :-)  ¶ 12:02 PM 0 comments

  RSS Feeds I have recently begun to use RSS feeds extensively. I never realized how many sites offer them. They seem, to me, to be a great way of keeping up with updates to web sites, without surfing to each individual site. Anyway, the program I use to manage the feeds I am interested in is RSS Reader. It is a useful and simple to use program written using the .NET Framework. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

BTW, if you would like a feed of my blog, here is the URL: http://jsquared71.blogspot.com/atom.xml  ¶ 11:44 AM 0 comments

  FIRST POST!!! Ok maybe it is sort of lame to call first post on my own blog. :-)

This is the first blog I have set up. I don't know what I will post here just yet. We'll have to see what happens.  ¶ 11:13 AM 0 comments
