As most people who don’t use M$ windows as their desktop, Firefox is my favirot web browser. It is a good idea to keep one on my USB key.
Fortnately someone has done a binary build that suitable for a USB key, that is Portable Firefox. It is in pretty good shape so I have no […]
Althrough I have no-word statements on my homepage, signature, and wherever I can put, sometimes I still need to deal with word documents.
My original solution is to use OpenOffice. But I have to deal with all the charset and font things cause I speak Chinese. So most of the time I just start OOo, open […]
By default when we typing in the address bar, Firefox will show a list
of histories below the address bar, and we can move with the arror
keys and select the one we want.
But most of the cases we just need the first one cause Firefox will

Here’s another Mozilla/Firefox tip: if you copy a URL wrapped over multiple lines from somewhere and try to paste it into the address bar, you will end up only with the first line of it. To fix it, go to about:config and change editor.singleLine.pasteNewlines setting to 3 or add:

to your user.js […]
The first thing for my USB key is a good editor, and this turns out to be the hardest.

This extension allows us to re-bind keys to functions. Pretty useful for keyboard users like me. A side benefit is that you could learn lots of new key bindings and find out “why this key binding doesn’t work?” — Mostly because the key is bind to another function in another extension.
It can also disable […]

As our Emacs configure file gettting larger and larger (my config files are now about 250K), it is a good idea to seperate them into different categories and byte-compile them for speed up.

Well as my notebook is getting old, and pretty heavy, I’m trying to find out a way to do my work when I’m not in front of my desktop.
A USB key looks like the most light weight solution so late last year I’ve got my self a unibit 256M one. . The picture is taken […]
