New Tricks for Old Dog

Spent a little time fiddling with yet more Firefox add-ons.  Decided to limit myself to two new ones. 

FoxyTunes puts a music control for my Winamp player in the bottom bar.  Forecastfox provides Accuweather.com reports in the same bar.  Includes icons for severe weather (which we have coming up) and a mini-radar scan popup.

They join the Zotero web page archiving application which I don't use as much as I'd hoped.  I also use the Google Browser Sync for saving bookmarks.  Unfortunately that one is always giving me server errors and may be more of a pain than a pleasure.  Perhaps this is a dialup problem primarily.  The Bookmark Duplicate Detector helped to trim many a link off my total list.

I also took some time to figure out how to do the LiveJournal "cut" so some of my posts can be trimmed down a bit visually for my friends.  Thanks to those friends who use the LJ cuts and inspired me to figure out how to do them too.
