If you’re running Firefox, you’re probably well aware of the many add-ons that are available through the Firefox add-ons portal. However, only a few add-ons have ever made it past my 24 hour test and into normal use. Each one of these “approved” add-ons is fantastic in it’s own way, which is why I’ve listed them below. Download and enjoy:
So, I always made sure that I backed up my bookmarks.html every now and again. I went to do it t’other day and noticed that it hadn’t been updated in quite a while. “That’s odd”, I remember thinking.
Turns out that Firefox now uses an SQLite database, which is called “places.sqlite”. Make sure you back this up instead. It’s located in the Firefox profiles folder, under AppData/Application Data.
Lovely. Now back to Chuck.

So you want to upgrade to Windows 7. That’s probably the best decision you’ve made all year. The next question is, what are your upgrade options?
Let’s play the WIRELESS SECURITY game! *Applause*
You know the scene. You’ve just set up a lovely new VPN solution, whether it be SSL, IPSec or (heaven forbid) PPTP. Everything is working perfectly, so you start deploying to clients…
I’ve been an iTunes user for quite a while now, but have always loathed it. I find it slow, cluttered and (even since the DRM reforms) quite frustrating.
Spotify is like a breath of fresh air.
Do you want to get a Windows XP machine up to Service Pack 3?
Not sure what service packs need to be installed first? Then look no further…
Exchange 2007 SP2 has just been released to the world, and it has lots of nice little refinements and new features for Exchange admins to get excited about.
However, if you’re running Exchange 2007 on SBS 2008 – you SHOULD NOT install SP2 yet. Microsoft are currently getting a tool together that will assist in the install process – but it’s not available yet (as of the 26th August 2009).
If you really do need to install Exchange 2007 SP2 urgently, then please follow the guide here. I’ve tested it in a VM, and it all seems to work fine – although I won’t be deploying it to any live SBS 2008 boxes yet…
