3) THE WEB IS GOOD
- Firefox is great! But when you just installed it, it is like... naked! So put him some add-ons. Here are my favourite add-ons and their use:
-->> downloadhelper let you easily download any youtube, dailymotion and so on... video you are watching.
-->> adblock plus removes lots of ads!
-->> adblock filterset.g"> updater is used to update automatically the filter list of adblock plus as more and more ads appear on the web.
-->> autocopy for windows to act like linux: autocopy the selected text to clipboard.
-->> download statusbar so you no longer will see the annoying pop-up of download status.
-->> gmail notifier to check your gmail account.
-->> webmail notifier to check your hotmail accounts.
-->> tamper data to modify the POST request sent by your browser in order to debug (or hack) your site sending buggy data, sql statements or to gain access to normally hidden parts of a site.
- Great site to make your profile picture: MYPICTR. You just have to upload your picture and then you can select a part of it, crop it, resize and you get the resulting file. Really easy!
- Here is a list of good freewares:
-- >> PUTTY (ssh client)
-- >> WINSCP (scp windows client)
-- >> XMING (server X for windows, to use with putty)
-- >> CYGWIN (for those who like it)
-- >> FIREFOX (because I hate IE)
-- >> THUNDERBIRD (because outlook express sucks)
-- >> PDFCREATOR (to create pdf with a virtual printer)
-- >> 7ZIP (compression needs)
-- >> NOTEPAD++ (great notepad improvement)
-- >> FILEZILLA (for ftp needs)
-- >> OPEN-OFFICE (great office suite)
-- >> GIMP (better than photoshop I think!)
-- >> IRFANVIEW (picture viewer, same as acdsee)
