Jonathan's Universe

So it’s been a while, thought I’d update my loyal blog readers.

Not too much is going on. I’m in my apartment – i have gas now. FINALLY. I still hate PECO. Watch this, I’m going to get a bill and it’s going to have the other guys stuff on it. We’ll see.

I had company over tonight, we watched spiderman and played Apples to Apples. It’s a cool game, but doesn’t work so well when you only have a three players. I would’ve had more, but it was storming and there were icey roads.

I also downloaded a few things for Firefox.

Mr. Uptime
This is a firefox extension that allows you to create watchlists of websites. it’ll periodically check the websites on the list to see if they are up. Also, you can have it check to see if it contains/doesn’t contain a specific text strings. So like, for example, if when a website responds (like its a very busy website that went offline) you can add it. Mr. Uptime will alert you with whatever method you specify. Also the string thingermabobber is pretty cool. For example, let’s say I’m waiting for a new product to launch – i can have it look for “Windows 7 – now available”, or if I don’t know what it would say when it is available, i could have it check and alert me when it doesn’t say “Windows 7 – temporarily unavailable” and what not. pretty cool. Useful in limited situations, but when those situations come, it’s definitly something you should have.

iimgg.com Tools
Actually, this type of tool probably has a lot of addons that do the same thing. But this was the first thing I saw. Basically this allows you to take a screenshot of a the entire page, the currently visible page, or a specified region on the page. You can then either upload it to iimmgg.com or save it to your disk. I needed to send my friend a list of my stats on CyberNations, and it’s a long page, so I just used this tool. Tadaa magic.

iPox Theme
I’m not much of a theme person. Or rather I haven’t been. I kind of got tired of the Firefox default theme, which while it honestly is friggen awesome, it just got boring. This theme is white-grayish and has some blue in it. The one thing I don’t like is the home button is the an icon of the ipod. If i get the time and can, I’ll change it. cuz it makes me look like a fanboy. And actually,  I have a zune… so…
