General

Niko called Firefox a "hyped" browser. IMHO, Firefox is currently the best free browser around, especially due to the high number of great extensions that are available. This is an (incomplete) list of my favorite Firefox extensions:

• Web Developer Toolbar: the web developer's swiss knife with integrated chainsaw, shotgun, and towline. Disable Java, Javascript, CSS at a fingertip, edit CSS on the fly, get information about the last HTTP request, find broken images, outline frames, table cells, images, deprecated tags, validate the current page's HTML, CSS, and Section 508 and WAI accessibility on the fly, resize the browser window to a certain size (useful for checking pages for problems with low resolution screens), and many more features.
• User Agent Switcher: useful for switching the browser's user agent string.
• WML Browser: WML pages aren't shown as XML source anymore, but as real pages instead. Very useful when you do WAP development, especially in combination with the User Agent Switcher.
• Smooth Wheel: fixes an annoying misfeature in Firefox, that is the not so smooth scrolling when you use the mouse wheel.
• BugMeNot extensions: integrates bugmenot.com into Firefox. Very nice if you have mandatory registration pages.
• Linkification: Allows Firefox to view plain-text URLs and e-mail addresses as actual links
• SwitchProxy: allows you to save multiple proxy settings and switch between them quickly and easily. Especially useful when you quickly have to switch between a "Zwangsproxy" and [[de:Java_Anon_Proxy|JAP]].

Yesterday I did something that I haven't done for the last 10 years: I went to the football stadium to watch the football game LASK Linz vs. SV Ried. The football game itself was quite nice to watch, but the goals were missing: the game ended with a goal in the 90th minute. But what was way more interesting was to observe all the people around me. So many "experts", who exactly know what to do, tactical geniuses, many of them drinking beer, combined with just stupid "jokes", homophobic rants, and a certain selfrighteousness. Probably that's why I've never been interested in going to the football stadium.
