For a while I have been struggling to find a Mozilla theme that I am comfortable with. Today I found my perfect match. It’s called Noia and you can download (or directly install) it from deviantART.

Noia under Firefox 1.0 on SuSE 8.2

Did you know?

On my way to work today I decided it would be nice if switching between tabs in Firefox was possible using ALT + tab_number. Guess what? This was already thought of. CTRL + tab_number (for example, CTRL + 1) will set focus on the tab that you requested. Use it. I strongly recommend that. – Roy

I truly believe that UseNet attracts an audience far smaller than it should. Considering the enormous number of regular Internet users, probably only a small proportion is aware of the existence of global forums. Many choose to participate in very small forums like the BBC or various phpBB-like sections. They are missing out on access to gurus in various fields. A countless number of questions I had were competently answered in return to my involvement (see archive). If you haven’t yet become a part of groups relevant to you, I urge you to do so now.

Big brother Google has begun to worry me greatly in the past year. Approx. 95% of searches leading to my Web site stem from this dominant search engine. Here is the way Google Watch have described the situation:

Google is easily top dog. They provide about 75 percent of the external referrals for most websites. There is no point in putting up a website apart from Google. It’s do or die with Google. If we’re all very lucky, one of the other three will soon offer some serious competition. If we’re not lucky, we will be uploading our websites to Google’s servers by then, much like the bloggers do at blogger.com (which was bought by Google in 2003). It would mean the end of the web as we know it.

It is worth mentioning that the issue is fresh in my mind because of a brand new Web site belonging to a relative. It has not yet been crawled by Google to its depths. You can visit it, if you wish, at daviechiropractic.com.
