Have you ever heard the lively bluegrass cover of Snoop Dogg’s Gin and Juice?

Do you know what is the name of the group who performed this famous rearrangement of the original? If you said:

…Why, of course, Jeeves! I do say it must certainly be Widespread Panic. Indeed…

my friend, I must inform you that you are quite wrong.

The fact is, according to the all-knowing Interweb World Wide Net thing, the performers on that recording are none other than the Gourds!

I beg you should learn more info here, at the Gourds in the Wikipedia. Won’t you enjoy it with me, my good friends and neighbors?

I’m looking for a wordPress add-on which essentially gives a link from within the “Manage Pages” view to: “View Page Now” so that, rather than clicking “view site”, and then navigating away from the list of existing pages to that particular page, the author might simply view that page — perhaps in a new tab. The idea is to avoid having to move back and forth from the Manage Pages view which, depending upon server response, can be time consuming.

This would be quite like the preview that exists under the textarea of the standard WordPress Write Post editor view, yet only without the editor itself– so as to save having to scroll to the bottom each time. Ultimately it’s for saving time– so one can peruse one’s posts / pages more rapidly.

Not only does BetterSearch enhance Google, but it does a helluva job with Del.icio.us as well– in fact, it’s a goshdarn Must Have!

BetterSearch : Firefox XPI

Homework::
Seamonkey is not compatible with the BetterSearch XPI add-on extension. What can be done to hack that suckka, and have ‘er working with Seamonkey 1.1x+?

Enhanced Bookmark Search

Double-check this, as it may actually be included with xSidebar by default, so adding it might be redundant, and perhaps– harmful… we shall see.

View Source With

Is this really needed when i’ve got Web Developer extension? well– yes, and no– it makes for a nice little addition, i think. there is definitely something different about VSW than the “view source with” element of the WebDev xpi itself.

WebMail & Co.

I’ve no idea yet what this extension does, but i have installed it (probably not the first time, but what the hell— i still don’t know what it is!)

WebMail is used to enabled the following extensions, which were also installed subsequently.

• Hotmail
• Yahoo!

Save as Image

The name says it all, though this one should be ‘double-checked’, as i have yet to make it work on the ol' Munk-Monque.

Aardvark

Aardvark is the best-kept secret…, or should i say ‘worst advertised dev aide’ ever!?

Reload Every X [chron]

for reloading your pages, per request n stuff… might be nicey nicey for something like… hmmm… home pages which are updated? … i dunno actually what this is good for to be honest!
Check it!

Tab X

Just like Racer-X, Tab-X looks out for Speed Racer, and helps him out of a jam when he gets in a snag.

Config Date

Just like the Thunderbird hickeydoo…

Clone Window

Clone Window is one of those Mozilla Extensions which you might not recognize right away that it’s working, but once you get the idea, you’ll find it’s pretty cool.

The function of Clone Window is only realized when the browser user opens a new Browser Window. When the new window opens, it doesn’t open a blank, or home-page, but a Clone of that window / tab which was the current view in the active-window when the user decided to open a new window. If you were viewing Gmail, for example, then opened a new Window (with Clone Window installed), that new Window would open at the URL of Gmail where the user was located in the previous Window. Pretty cool!

Fire FTP

FireFTP for seamonkey, baby! woo hoo!

Execute JavaScript

Enhances the JavaScript console such that JS can be executed arbitrarily

Seamonkey Showcase

View all of your open shit in a new tabbed window. i believe this extension author also offers “dual sidebar”. check the delicious tag- firefox:speeddial , an extension for Firefox which emulates the Opera “Speed Dial” ditty

Tab Menu Item

Page through tabs with this menu item

Date Picker

Calendar in the bottom right corner w/ a calendar view

User Agent Switcher

This is a ChrisPederick.com creation.

Unhide Pwds

Speaks for itself

MultiZilla

some sort of tabbed browsing extension which claims to be the basis on which the mozilla / Firefox tabbed browsers were formed.

GoogleBox

See multizilla developer at multizilla.mozdev.org for more info on this what seems like a maililng list manager extension?

InfoRSS

the dirty deed. done. dirt cheap too.

Image Shack Right-click

Not sure what the hell it is or does, and i don’t (at the time of posting) have an ImageShack account– but what the hell– it sounded promising!

others…???

What others have worked well with SeaMonkey?

(click for screen-cap)

Do you think that there is any significance to the fact that [i]Hollywood A-list[/i] actor, [b]Nicholas Cage[/b] is in both [b][i]World Trade Center[/i][/b] (Aug. 2006) and [i]Wickerman[/i] (Aug. 2006), and supporting [i]World Trade Center[/i] actor, [b]Maggie Gyllenhaal[/b], also has a forthcoming wide-release film to follow?

This probably will seem like a stretch, but perhaps this is a sign that the Hollywood [i]Box Office[/i] is being greatly impacted (more than they let on) by the quality of the modern home-theatre experience, and any consumer with the aptitude for the illicit distribution of popular media (such as pirated DVD’s). Could it be that [i]Hollywood[/i] has stooped so low in edging moral indecency, that they should boost ticket sales by pushing a high-budget film, depicting on a political front, the most devastating massacre of United States civilians in history? Maybe my radar is off-center. Maybe it’s not a question of ticket-sales to Hollywood film-makers, but the propagation of a political agenda.

“Political front!?”, you question? Then, to you I would ask: Where is the Hollywood A-List film, completed in so little time and in such grande fashion, which chronicles the leveling of New Orleans by [i]Hurricane Katrina[/i]? What is the title of the film, and did it sell millions of tickets? Does it shame the victims, or is it a definitive account of American Heroism; of the People of New Orleans and those who came from miles beyond miles, called by nature to react in an [b]apolitical[/b] catastrophe, pulled together, and helped so many brothers and sisters, friends, neighbors, homeless and other nameless victims to weather the storm? Did you buy the DVD? Did you enjoy the alternate endings?

Which film is a testament to American Pride, and which will act as a Trojan Horse for its misdirection?
My biggest problem with [i]World Trade Center[/i], the film, is the way the Marketing genius slipped it into our homes, right under our noses– deceptively, allowing little public debate over its production or National impact. Americans are encouraged to share opinion over the bane of Tom Cruise or Brittany Spears, yet the collective opinion of the American voice was hushed in the circumstance of [i]World Trade Center[/i].

[i][b]We, The People[/b][/i], so often afforded public venue to speak to our fellow man, so often weeks before rumors become fact, are encouraged to share opinion via televised news media, talk-shows and elsewhere, seem to have been deliberately robbed of our voice in this instance. I recall no discussion; no public opinion, and no time to think; to actually show support for, or put forth any opposition to the film. I know how much my neighbor loves or despises Paris Hilton, but I know nothing of whether he or she believes that the screening of [i]World Trade Center[/i] has come too soon, or at an inappropriate time.

is it a happy ending? what about all of the US Marines who are still in active duty, witnessing anything BUT a happy ending night after nght? which image do you really want in your mind to remind you of the attact we bore on our own soil on Sept 11, 2001– do you want to picture the image of a hollywood actor, a happy ending, and niceties– to help you brush it under the rug and shrug it off– or do you want to remember your anger– remember what was wrong about the deaths of so many innocent Americans, civilians, on Sept 11, 2001: men, women and children whose lives ended that day. are they being properly honored in the film? is your brother, or your aunt who died in active duty being honored by this film while it’s solicitation, in theatres and soon to come, DVD, etc– surely must line the pockets of “Hollywood”. Which image do you want to remember when you pay $4 at the pump for fuel?

[b]Misdirection[/b] is the key to manipulation. [b]Misdirection[/b] is the tool of those who wish to fool, corrupt, and use others for the fulfillment of their own will.

Americans, and those who believe in Freedom of Choice:
If you’re as unlucky as you can be– if the worst possible thing could happen does happen– and you eventually accept the fact that American quality of life, and American Freedom has not been affected by terrorism– if you can sleep at night more easily because you’ve been misdirected into seeing a happy ending, then you have already kissed your Freedom goodbye, and the freedom of your sons and daughters.

The moment you stop caring about your own Freedom, and the Freedom of your fellow citizens; the moment you pay for its very exploitation in the Media is the moment when that much of the Freedom has been taken away from the Citizens of the United States of America, and from us all.

When the Trojan horse was viewed as a peaceful offering; when past strikes upon them were overlooked because of that artful misdirection, what was the outcome?
