There are several ways to increase your productivity when working behind a computer.
One of these ways is to use Find and Run Robot.
This program is activated using a hot key, and then you can select an program with ease instead of having to work you way through the start menu.
You can find the installation file at the donation coders website, and a license code can also be obtained there.
For the license code you can choose between registering at the forum, or get a anonymous serial.
Did you ever have a great idea for a Firefox extension but didn’t know how to do it, well it isn’t that hard! To begin you only need some knowledge of javascript, which is even required since it isn’t that hard ;) There are 2 options, a “simple” way and a “hard” way, of course both have their advantages and disadvantages.
The simple option uses the greasemonkey extension. The advantages of greasemonkey is that you don’t have to deal with installing an extension and restarting Firefox over and over again. Also you only need to care about your script. Greasemonkey allows you to install javascript files which you can apply to all sites, or only certain site. You can check out how to make scripts for greasemonkey or browse an collection of greasemonkey scripts.
In these times where computer crimes have become one of the most normal things it’s nice that you can protect yourself.
Like Martin, i think that firewalls don’t help that much (i have never encountered one that worked good enough) And when i found X-NetStat i found a really good solution to this problem.
X-NetStat is a application that lists all the connections that your pc has as well as the program that has the connection. So you can see a lot of instances of your web browser for example when you just visited some sites. But you can also see other connections that you didn’t start. This can be an program like your anti virus that is updating, but it can also be the windows remote software connecting to an irc channel for example. When you see that happening you can make an rule with the right mouse button that will always kill that connection when it’s made.
Did you ever want an shortcut bar for programs you tend to use allot? There are a few different programs that do this, and rocketdock is one of them. After the installation of roketdock you can start customizing it. Adding and removing icons to the dock is also very easy. To add an shortcut you only have to drag the shortcut from your desktop for example onto the dock.
Removing an shortcut works the same, just drag it off the dock and it’s gone. Clicking with the right mouse button on the dock brings up an menu in which you have some more options for adding shortcuts and to add a separator. You can also activate some other options for the dock like an auto hide function.
Everybody who surfs on the internet has encountered an error which says that the page can’t be displayed at some point. It is nice to know that the page can’t be reached, but only having a option to refresh the page isn’t very helpful. But as you may have guessed, there is an Firefox extension to “fix” this.
The extension is called Errorzilla, and it replaces your standard error screen with a much more useful one. After getting a 404 for example, you now have 7 options. The first option is the old refresh one, it’s called “Retry thisâ€?, which reloads the page to see if it suddenly appeared.
If you are playing around with websites then the whole browser thing can be quite irritating. On the Windows OS there are currently 5 big browser active. Internet Explorer 7, Internet Explorer 6, Firefox 2.x, Firefox 1.x and Opera 9. Of course you have to make sure your site works on all these browsers. Or sometimes you need a different browser because certain sites don’t work well with your standard one.
The beginning is simple, you just download the latest version of Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer. But once you have these three installed you still have two to go, which isn’t as simple as it seems.

Ever been to an website like www.nytimes.com and had to register to login? Of course you can register a fake account using a disposable email address (like 6url or dodgeit) But there are more people who do that, so why not have a database with these kinds of fake accounts?
This is exactly what Bugmenot is made for. You can search per url and the site will give you logins (if there are any) for that website. Of course you can also submit your dummy accounts to this site so other people can use.
