Firefox

For the past few months, I have not been happy with her performance of any of the web-browsers I’ve tried. As more and more sites become Flash, and JavaScript oriented – ala Web 2.0 – the browsers have to adapt to run those at optimum performance.

The used DLink 524 that I picked up from usedOttawa for $30 dollars is a pretty good buy. Having used this model before, I knew it was reliable. Decent wireless connectivity, along with all the other regular features like filtering, encryption, VPN and activity logging.

Setting up is a breeze, just plug and play.

One problem that I ran into was of setting up the SSID and enabling wireless encryption.

I love VLC Media Player... It plays almost any type of video and is super lightweight. A while ago I noticed that I was using a fairly old version of the player and decided to update it.

So, during the installation, I noticed the option for Mozilla Plugin. I though, great.. VLC + Firefox... this should be awesome...But not quite.

I remember when animated Gif's where the coolest thing around. They were used everywhere... from a horizontal rule, to icons, to menu buttons to really annoying background animations on the whole webpage.
