Now officially living in my browser

firefox screenshot Firefox screenshot, from left to right:

  • Vertical tabs, courtesy of Vertigo - because you can never have too many tabs
  • Main window: the feeds roll into GReader
  • On the right, almost all the functionality of FriendFeed (except search) in fantastic new extension MySocial 24×7
  • On the right? Yes, because sidebars look better on the right IMHO, made possible by MultiSidebar

Tenuous bioinformatics connection: well, you work more effectively if you’re happy with your browser setup ;)

    Neil, many thanks, very valuable!!
    can you also comment on the creatures residing in the right part of your status bar (except greasemonkey)?

    That looks scarily distracting ;)

    @Yaroslav Man, you’re not meant to pay that much attention to the screenshot :)

    But as you ask, bottom-right icons from left to right are: (1) ScribeFire (blog posting), (2) Zotero (reference/bibliography management), (3) Google Notebook extension, (4) Greasemonkey, (5) Fireuploader, (6) Boost Facebook toolbar options, (7) CoComments extension (blog comment threads).

    Thanks for the reminder that I don’t use half of them and should uninstall…

    @Pedro - I actually find it less distracting than having Twitter flash at me or keeping a FriendFeed tab open (having it on the right keep it out of my eyes too). This way, I can ignore it until I want to see updates.
