Ok, I need to say this outright – I’m a huge Firefox fan.
Firefox is the best alternative to Internet Explorer and light-years ahead of it – it’s aster, and easier to use, more safe and much more customizable.It can copy over your settings from Internet Explorer (cookies, favourites, etc) and blocks pop-ups and spyware. It’s also completely free.
I am in danger of sounding like a geek, but I know of many unconventional users of Firefox.
Installing add-ons (this is the customizability coming into play here) is as easy as finding it’s page on the Firefox add-ons site, clicking on three buttons – the last is “Restart Firefox” and Firefox will restart right back to the sites you were looking at.
How easy is that?
Firefox can be found here – http://getfirefox.com/
The add-ons can be found here – https://addons.mozilla.org/
My favourites for people new to Firefox are:
Read It Later allows you to save pages of interest to read later. It eliminates cluttering of bookmarks with sites that are merely of a one-time interest.
Xmarks is the #1 bookmarking add-on. Install it on all your computers to keep your bookmarks and (optionally) passwords backed up and synchronized. Xmarks also helps you uncover the best of the web based on what millions of people are bookmarking.

Poach chicken, place in a large saucepan, cover with water, add the peppercorns and bay leaves and bring to a gentle simmer. Poach for about 40 minutes. If you can, leave it to cool in the liquid. Take the chicken out of the pan, remove the skin and shred the meat. Dry-fry the cumin and the almonds in a hot pan and leave to cool…full recipe and ingredients
Thanks Jamie xx

I have decided to make a significant lifestyle change and get back in shape, regain my fitness levels from 4-5 years ago. I realised I just had let go too much. There are plenty poor excuses such as stress at work, felling sorry for yourself and dipping a little too much into those lovely carbs. It doesn’t make it easier that a man in my age need to work twice as hard as a man in his twenties or early thirties to stay fit, life is unfair. Well 2 weeks down and my motivation is still top notch.
A healthy diet is key and there plenty recipes I can recommend as part of healthy diet, how about this one…It is guaranteed to make you feel better and keep you going.
Hot and sour prawn soup recipe, This fragrant broth is the most famous of Thai soups. Lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves are its main flavours, with a kick of bird’s eye chilli..niiiiiiiiice!!

Where is that backup when you need it?? We have all been there, when we need that backup the most it just not there or upto date. Some of us have an external harddrive, but honestly do you really keep it up-to-date day by day. Avoid the hassle of backups and still stay safe. Dropbox is a new and great Cloud Technology option for all your PC users out thereand those of you with less the 2G of data backup it is all free. Dropbox is so simple to use, backup your important files, share files or even use it to synchronise multiple computers if you work on two or more machines.
Here is how it works, a small folder Icon apears on your desktop and you simple drag the documents you need backed up or are looking to share with others into that folder and like magic it gets syncronised onto your online Dropbox account. Now your can access your documents anywhere, anytime and even share certain documents with friends or collegues. Works like dream, so simple…try it out!
