The Tabs Meme Made Me Do It

So, in many ways I find Google Chrome to be an amazeballs browser right out of the box.

One of the terrible design choices that they have made, however, is that they do not provide a list of the titles of your open tabs, or, if such a list exists, it has not been discovered by this power user. (Both Firefox and IE have a button at one side of the row of tab titles which, when clicked, will display a list of all the currently open tab titles.)

So, this morning, I decided to go checking the web to see if someone with more programming skill than I had also felt this lack and done something about it.

And they had!

The best looking one, I think, is TooManyTabs, which gives you some real organizing and saving capabilities. VerticalTabs is more like the native capability on FF or IE, but with some added keyboard control. And Tab Title Search is all keyboard interaction, no mousing. And I found a list of other tab managing extensions to check out.

P.S. I felt so proud of myself, I made an icon!

If Momentum Con sounded interesting to you, but the ticket price was too steep, you have the opportunity to win a free ticket (contest ends tonight!) or attend for free as an intern.

So You Want To Create an E-book

Steve Saus is blogging How to Create an Ebook, which will become an ebook after he's done writing it.

I think fandom might want to look at e-books as another distribution method, particularly for either long stories or, the part where I think shit could get real, as curated collections of short stories (I'm bringing sexy zines back!)

I mean, yes, of course, the easy way to create an e-book is to drop the HTML or RTF document you've already got into Calibre and push a button. But I think Steve is going to tell us how to make it look nice.

(Steve Saus is the guy who rolled jimhines' DIY ebook for his first experiment with publisher-free e-book sales.)

How you can tell I'm a slash fan

So, I'm watching the opening scenes of Toy Soldiers, 2x15. A guy broke into Callan's house and is fighting him. The thing I'm really excited about? We see that G has bought furniture! A chair, a side table, and a lamp.
