Has Your FireFox Browser Been Crashing Lately?
Has your FireFox browser been crashing lately? If you were anything like me, you probably suspected it was a java-error or maybe some webdesigner that created a crappy Flash presentation.

Use a USB Key to Move Data
Instead of having to burn a DVD when you want to move files from one computer to another, you might want to buy a USB key so you can move data more easily than having to burn your data in 4,7Gb chunks.
Nowadays, even 8Gb USB keys are rather cheap, and you can move data much faster than having to go through the burning process with DVDs.
Have fun next time you're moving data. :-)

Testing Your Webpages In Several Browsers
Testing your webpages in several browsers is important if you want to know how your webpages are seen by visitors to your website.
One way you can do this is by installing several browsers on your system. They can all exist on the same system. I would recommend at least having the following browsers on your computer:
Another way is to use the website BrowserShots to get a view of webpages under different operating systems also. In that way, you save the effort of having three different computers to test all systems.
BrowserShots can be found right here: http://browsershots.org/
