Nifty Service Tool
Schlomy Gantz has put out a nifty tool for managing Windows services from the taskbar. You can set up multiple snapshots that can turn services on and off at a whim. I haven't tried it yet, but it's on my list of toys to play with this week :)
Firefox + iTunes = FoxyTunes
I love me some iTunes... I listen to it all day, and have a hard time getting any meaningful work done if I don't have some tuneage (just watch the Now Playing list to the left). But the media controls on my keyboard don't always control iTunes the way I want it to unless iTunes is in mini mode, which also means that I can't minimize it so it's not in my taskbar.
I was cruising the internet today and found FoxyTunes. FoxyTunes allows you to control almost any media player directly from FireFox's status bar. Well, I just happen to have FireFox open all day, ever day, JUST LIKE iTunes! Seeing a connection here? I downloaded the extension, installed it, and bam, it worked perfectly on the first try. I'm loving FireFox more and more every day...
Crankin' up da geek
Just thought I'd show off, and let everyone know that I've cranked up the geek factor down here in SoCal...
That's all :)
