Really. She is actually a genius.
Living with her is ALWAYS highly entertaining, but sometimes she kicks it up another notch and comes up with something that impresses the ever loving shit out of me.
Well here’s the latest: I’ve been a HUGE Firefox fan now for awhile because of their fabulous assortment of useful applications called addons. Nevertheless, once I have a set of them all configured to do what I need and want, I’m then pretty conservative about changing anything. I’m happy. I’m good. Don’t need anything ‘new’.
I have my desktop & Firefox all configured with my addons. She has her own. We’re widely different in taste as to where we put our icons and shortcuts, et cetera.
Today we got onto the subject of computing and sharing our most recent understandings in the realms of technology when I ran across an addon SHE has that I’D missed.
It’s a Firefox addon for managing passwords called sxipper.
I never paid ANY attention to password managers due to my aforementioned conservatism as regards to needing/wanting anything “new” once I have everything I think I need. And I’ve always kept a bit of trepidation in there as well for online security concerns.
“So what’s sxipper? ” I ask. She tells me “it’s awesome”. I’m not really convinced. I go to their download/about page, where I can circle around it and sniff at it without committing myself to anything in any big hurry.
HUH !
This actually looks pretty COOL. Does about 50 things more than I ever might have expected and has all of the security aspects NEATLY taken care of.
What the heck. I’ll give it a go. ( One of the very BEST aspects of Firefox is the utter speed in which you can install, test, and then like/not like an addon and either keep it or uninstall it ! ) Just amazing. From the moment you hit “Add to Firefox” to the moment you can then use the addon is SECONDS. The same is true for uninstall. So this makes Firefox eminently cool.
I’m not even going to try to describe how cool sxipper is. Too much to say and they do it better anyway, so just take a second to go here and read up, and then amaze yourself by quickly trying it.
Me? I’m going to go kiss her. She’s such a genius.
