With the help of Antoine I’ve customized my Debian Unstable Firefox. Via right-clicking, customize and dragging away the various widgets, I’ve managed to remove most junk and leave the stuff I want:

1. Google’s spell check
2. Google’s pagerank indicator
3. del.icio.us bookmarking
4. sURInk.com to shorten&share long URLs

The extensions I have installed are:

1. Google toolbar
2. Mozex 1.07.1 for editing textareas with vim
3. Web Developer 1.0.2
4. Searchbar Autosizer 1.1 to expand the Google search box for longer queries

I’m also back to using wmii window manager, although I miss Ion’s speed. I should try dwm when it is packaged. Overall, I am happy with this desktop.

After being hassled about updating Wordpress packages to 2.0 I did. Though I sort of regret it now as I wanted to wait for a bug fix release. “Point oh” software keeps me the creeps. Now a 2.0.1 release is in the works that will fix at least one (long standing) minor security issue. Personally I am reluctant to update Wordpress to 2.0 on my blog natalian.

• I don’t like the look of the new edit form.
• I’m afraid the plugins I use are going to break.
• I don’t need any more features except perhaps the plugins I use being part of the main trunk and perhaps a Captcha
