OK, this tears it. Firefox rocks *even harder*. Some of you may know Daniel Miessler -- he's got some cool stuff on his blog site, but I'm referring to a specific blog post:
Firefox Quicksearches
Ya know, I don't think to write out my thoughts about this kind of stuff much, but I tend to pick up and use several tricks that other people tell me about. Here's a few other gems:
Linux for desktop/coding/serving/etc -- thanks Jon (no link, sorry).
RSS feeds for my website -- Thanks Jason
Firefox for browsing -- I've been using mozilla for years, but thanks to the geek community it's become the best browser around.
mutt for email -- ok, it's no Thunderbird, but it gets the job done. Plus, it's portable (kinda)! I was using pine until I discovered mutt's power. Thanks Beckham
Del.icio.us for sharing and keeping track of bookmarks -- thanks Jason and Daniel for that one.
There's lots more, but I forget.
game addiction -- Resident Evil 4 -- not so much playing it as watching my roomate take on hundreds of baddies with the Chicago Typewriter (tommy gun + infinite ammo + 1-3 hit kill = KICK ASS!)
