After seeing "Quick-log your work day" in Lifehacker, I find it too troublesome to create vbscript just to perform simple file writing. So, I came up with my own quick-log tool using command prompt batch file.

Download it here: Simple Task Logging Tool

Instructions:

1. Unzip the file.
2. Put the log.bat file at your desktop.
3. Double click on the file when you have something to log.
4. Type in whatever you want, followed by 'Enter'.
5. A log.txt file will be generated.

It runs properly on my Microsoft Windows XP Pro. Hope it works for you too.

Mozilla recently patched 13 Firefox flaws, which 8 of them are tagged "critical".

TechWeb.com reported:

Danish vulnerability tracker Secunia tagged the overall update as "highly critical," the second-from-the-top threat ranking. "[These] multiple vulnerabilities can be exploited to conduct cross-site scripting attacks or compromise a user's system," Secunia's online research note read.

A majority of the bugs will allow an attacker to introduce his own code to a vulnerable system; several of them can be exploited by posting malicious code or content on Web sites and enticing users to visit those sites.

If you are running on 1.5.x version of Firefox, check for new version and download Firefox 1.5.0.5 by clicking on Help > Check for Updates... in the file menu.

I have heard a lot about game cheat, but have not heard anything about Firefox cheat. Leslie Franke has done a good job to compile all shortcuts for Firefox to fit into a single page. It fits nicely into a single piece of A4 paper when I printed it out just now.

I suggest you keep one on your desk for a few weeks. It will definitely improve your browsing experience with the fox. You wouldn't need it anymore after some time.

I've installed Google Browser Sync, a Firefox extension by Google. I made a few print-screens on what it does, if you are too lazy to install to try it out.

Once you have installed it, you will see this, as soon as you start up your Mozilla Firefox.

After Google launched Picasa Web Albums yesterday, I quickly signed up for limited test. I received my invitation this morning. Here, I write my experience on using Picasa Web Albums for the very first time.

Upon receiving my invitation, I was required to click on a link that brought me to an agreement page with the typical "I agree" button. Then, after logged in with my Gmail account, I don't see any page for me to upload images. I was required asked to download Picasa software (4.6MB). I suppose Picasa software is the only way to upload images to Web Album. You may choose to upload your images through Picasa or the old style browse and upload method, although using Picasa will save you a lot of time.
