For a better performance purpose, all feed entries (up to 20 latest pings) are loaded from cache. Therefore there is no database query when the feed is loaded. Later, I might need to increase the size of cache to cater more pings for categories.
When I point my browser (Firefox) to www.yahoo.com. A rectangle box pop-up at the top of yahoo.com webpage.
It says that you can now search with Yahoo! right from your browser. Then I followed the instruction on the screen.
1. “Look for the search box in the upper right corner of your browser.”
I looked at my browser, there is a search box upper right corner of my browser. Ya.. Yahoo! is correct.
2. “Click on the small triangle in the search box.”
I searched for the small triangle but I can’t find it. I scanned a few more times. Oh, the small triangle (really small!) is on the Google’s logo. Then, I clicked on it. A drop down menu shows a list of available services.
3. “Choose Yahoo!. You’re done!”
Ya, I saw Yahoo! The previous version of Firefox doesn’t have Yahoo! in the list. Yahoo! know I’m using Firefox 1.5
Then I opened Internet Explorer and see if the same thing happens. No, it does not.
Yahoo! want to remind her users that there is a Yahoo! icon on Firefox and users can search with Yahoo! directly from Firefox. Instead of googling, remember that you can yahooing too… haha
After I had installed Firefox 1.5 on my notebook, I went to Mozilla Extensions to look for some plug-ins. I found this: Gmail Manager. Previously I was using Gtalk as my Gmail Notifier but sometimes I found it was a bit ‘heavy’ (drained some resources) to run on my notebook. Gmail Manager is more light-weight. Since I didn’t use Gtalk as the messenger so it is OK for me to use Gmail Manager.

I installed Adsense Notifier 0.7 for Firefox too but it seems to have conflict with Gmail Manager. Most of the time, the stats doesn’t show up. The programmer of Gmail Manager or Adsense Notifier might take note on this.

Just bought this back from LowYat’s allIT – Microsoft Wired Desktop 500.
The package contains a spill-resistant keyboard and a optical mouse.
What I like about the keyboard is the hotkeys for calculator and my computer. It’s very convenience for me as I always use it.
The Price for the Microsoft Wired Desktop 500 is RM59.00.
