It’s All Text! Firefox add-on

It's All Text is a Firefox add-on that links any webform textarea to your text-editing application of choice (it requires a bit of simple hoop-jumping on Mac, but it is totally worth it). Once installed, it places a little "edit" chiclet on the (user-definable) corner of textareas. Click it, edit in BBEdit or Textmate or whatever, save and voila! Oh, sweet It's All Text, where have you been all my life?!

Pimp my Firefox

Three new (to me) Firefox extensions I'm enjoying:

• Add to Search Bar: Makes it easy to add new site search engines to the Firefox search box. I just added the search on the theatre's website and it works a treat.
• Fission: Puts a progress bar in the address bar, ala Safari.
• Smart Link: Makes it easy to open plain-text URLs with a contextual click.

Clearing the Cache: June 11, 2007

• This is about eight different kinds of wrong, but it's at least a couple of kinds of funny: United 300 or What happens when the Spartans play air marshalls? (Everybody loves a muscle boy!)
  
• A remarkably comprehensive site dedicated to the British police box, otherwise known as the most famous TARDIS disguise in all of time.
• Fission adds a progress bar to the address field of Firefox.
