BrockLi Soup

Up until a version or two ago, I would just keep hitting Command+W as I finished reading tabs in Firefox, and when I closed the last one, the window would go away. I’m not sure why this doesn’t work anymore, but I just found out that Command+Shift+W will close the current window. It’s not as fluid as it used to be, but it makes me a lot happier than having to use the mouse or just using Command+H to hide the window until I need Firefox again. I figured I’d share, because I can’t be the only one who hadn’t figured this out.

I can’t tell you how happy I am that I found Lickr on the del.icio.us popular page. It’s a GreaseMonkey script that replaces Flickr’s flash image with a regular JPEG image and text links for the tool bar. Apparently there’s a bug in Firefox on Mac OS X that causes Flash movies to “disappear” if you scroll the wrong way. My options seemed to be converting to Safari, or removing Flash so I could at least view the images sans tool bar. With Lickr, I get all the options and a shorter load time.

Sometimes the Internet gives me things that make me happy. Like this. And porn.
