I love to learn new stuff with my little daughter. She is reaching a age where lots a questions must be answered. The last question was about the meaning of PM that appears just after the time in the digital clock from my task bar.

The question caught me completely off guard, but I like to answer all my daughter’s questions… from the easiest to the most complicated!!! So, after a joint googling adventure we found the meaning of PM/AM.

From wikipedia we got: “The 12-hour clock is a timekeeping convention in which the 24 hours of the day are divided into two periods called ante meridiem (a.m., Latin “before noon”) and post meridiem (p.m., “after noon”).”.

Quite nice, acquiring knowledge this way!!!

These are my 10 favorite Firefox add-ons… So that you can known and that I can’t forget!

  1. Tab Mix Plus enhances Firefox’s tab functionalities providing a lot of customizable new option.
  2. Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer is your silent companion, synchronizing in background your bookmarks between all your computers.
  3. FlashGot gathers multiple links in a page and downloads them using the available lightweight. download manager available.
  4. DownThemAll is a completely built-in download manager that is very fast and lightweight.
  5. ForecastFox is an eye-catching weather reporting tool… for those days you don’t leave the house!
  6. Mouse Gestures creates ’shortcuts’ based on your mouse movements, which is a much more quick way and easy than reaching for your keyboard or selecting an option from a menu.
  7. Adblock Plus avoids those annoying advertisements.
  8. Download Statusbar provides a simple way to manage your downloading activities using little window space.
  9. Image Zoom allows the custom dimensioning of images in a webpage.

Please note that I’m currently using Firefox version 2.0.0.14, and not all above add-ons work on newer versions (such as version 3 Beta 5).
