@tarun101: That's what I used to do too, when fiddled around with custom icons. I don't do it anymore, but it was waay simpler than this article makes it out to be.

That's a sweet little tip, I especially like how it reorders items with folders at the top of the list. It's a nice logical touch that saves lots of time :P.

Looks sweet. I just started using the Piclens extension for Firefox to browse DeviantArt and Google Images and it thoroughly rocks. Easy navigation, and fluid movement, as well as faster load times for thumbnails than a regular web page (plus you don't have to keep clicking the "next page" links to see more). …

This looks awesome, and I'd definitely use it if I could, but does anybody know about remotely managing torrent downloads on a Mac running at home from a Windows machine at school/work? That would be brilliant.

I can't afford being behind multiple loads, or I'll run out of pants to wear. So that's how I deal with it... I just do all laundry once a week, heh. Works fine so far :P.

@taybay: Check out Instructables.com, that's what I do when I've finished something like a bottle of shampoo and want to know if there's anything useful someone else has done with one before that I could do too. Search the site for projects using the materials you have, it's great for at least inspiration.

I've found that - when blogging - I like to use the WYSIWYG editor from Wordpress. However, the Scribefire WYSIWYG plugin for Firefox doesn't seem to work well, so I've cut the middleman out of that process. When doing web pages, though, I stick to Notepad2 on a PC or Komodo on a Mac. Komodo's like Dreamweaver,…

I'm setting out to create something each month...writing, graphics, video, whatever. I'd also like to try to become a little bit more fit, and a few other smaller things for myself. But that's the main one - to create something every month. Heh, and of course, continue reading Lifehacker and applying it to my life…

I've decided to create something each month. It doesn't matter what it is, just something, so I keep creating things and have some things to look back on at the end of this coming new year and be proud of accomplishing. I wrote a bit about it at my blog ([blakejohnson.wordpress.com]), asking for commented responses…

That kind of a marketing campaign just isn't fair. It's forceful advertising, like strictly regimented online activity for the financial benfit of some already-rich company. It's pretty selfish, I think.
