OK, we have different understandings of useful"!
But I did find this one of the 15 to be fun and interesting.

1. Quote: "Musicovery

   Seriously, the coolest music-related site I've seen. You choose the mood, intensity, and genres of the music you would like to hear and the site will provide you with a virtual web of music to explore. The web evolves with each choice you make. You can click on any song in the web at anytime."

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/musicclub/event_bobdylan.shtml
"an hour of Bob Dylan's greatest hits, compiled from over 40 years of concerts. Dream Dylan Live features four performances direct from Dylan's own archives, which have never been heard since they were originally performed.

Songs featured in the 'concert' are:
* Blowing In The Wind
* Only A Pawn In Their Game
* Lovesick
* Groom's Still Waiting At The Altar
* Times They Are A Changin'
* Mr Tambourine Man
* Like A Rolling Stone
* Maggie's Farm

Welcome to the Crocky Trail 2007

the Crocky Trail

its near Chester, our kids love it, and we had a great afternoon today for arrun's birthday trip with five 11-12 year olds.

You might want to know that some people regard it as a health and safety nightmare, while many share my view that this is exactly the sort of activity that kids of my generation regarded as normal fun, and which is squeezed out in risk society. Anyway, see reviews here: http://www.childfriendly.net/view/place/375

Useful Firefox Add-ons (an occasional series)

OpenURL Referrer
if you use Firefox , you might find the OpenURL Referrer add-on useful.  It adds a link to web pages that feature bibliographic references which allows you to search for the full document. It works with Google scholar or any page that includes COinS data (as does Jason Rutter's Digiplay bibliography).

Other extensions I find invaluable are DOWNTHEMALL and SCRIBEFIRE.

Problems with Firefox 2 and Acrobat Reader

Tuesday, March 06, 2007

Mozilla - Home of the Firefox web browser and Thunderbird email client

be careful about upgrading to Firefox 2, lots of extensions do not (yet I hope) work, and I found biug problems in opening PDFS.
worse, when I installed the upgrade to Acrobat Reader, it somehow wiped my version of Acrobat Professional (on site license) off my PC, and I now have to wait to have this installed.
"Blog this!" is disabled, but I can blog using the more cumbersom (? more powerful??) Performancing.
