Software, Hockey, and random ramblings.

It took me a while to warm to del.ico.us as my link tracking method of choice. My overwhelming Bookmarks library was so huge that I finally decided to try a method that gives more information about the links I saved, where I would be more likely to be able to figure out what I needed at a later date. Plus, although posting a link to del.ico.us is extremely easy, it’s not quite as easy as bookmarking a page, making me think twice about bookmarking anything and everything.
But the one thing that cheeses me about del.ico.us is that it’s too damn popular; sometimes it can take forever for the page to load. Foxylicious is a Firefox extension that fixes that! Simply install Foxylicious, give it your del.ico.us username and password, and tell it where to store your del.ico.us links in your bookmarks hierarchy. (Hint, don’t choose the root folder, unless you don’t mind losing everything, including your Bookmarks Toolbar Folder.) That’s it! Oh, and make sure to set it to sync daily.
I found this little gem through a great AppRocket tutorial linked to by LifeHacker.
AppRocket is a simple yet addictive little utility that can speed up your navigation of your Windows PC. If you are keyboard-centric, and hate to wait, AppRocket is worth a look.
