Performancing at work. Okay, here we go again.  Now I've got Firefox 2 at work.  Performancing seems to work so far. None of the HTML wysiwyg editors I've used recently have buttons for the pre tag.  Since I post code and computer output a lot, I use pre tags all the time.  What's up with that?  I know people blog about code all the time, why isn't pre beter supported?

Oh yeah, I forgot to say.  I dislike the little close buttons on all the tabs.  I got used to having one close button to the right.  Every now and then I just click the little close button many times to close all my tabs.  That style of usage works better if the close button stays put.  It's harder if you have to hunt down each individual button at the same time the tabs are jumping around and expanding because you gave them more room.  So I took the first part of the advice on unixwiz's blog.

Performancing Well, I'm trying out Firefox 2.0 today, and since Xinha (my wysiwyg extension) no longer works I had to try something new.  So I'm typing this in a Firefox extension called Performancing. I also had to download a different proxy-tool extension for switching in and out of VPN. I was using SwitchProxy Tool, but now I'm trying out QuickProxy.  I try to keep the number of extensions that I use to a minimum, but I still end up with several that I can't get by without.  Of course, that means I need to configure them the same at work and at home.  Well that's all I want to risk for a first post in a new tool.  Let's see if this works.
