Start Firefox with your previous session

One of the best features of Firefox is ability to restore session when your OS or Browser crashes. This helps by not loosing the page you are currently viewing.

Using Fiddler with Firefox

The only reason I ever used IE is for Fiddler tool in last 2 years. Now looking at Fiddler docs there seems to be way to use Fiddler with Firefox.

Here the steps:

1. Look for BrowserPAC.js in fiddler directory under "My Documents". (for me its C:\My Documents\Fiddler\Scripts\BrowserPAC.js)
2. Use "Automatic proxy configuration URL:" for Firefox and set the value to BrowserPAC.js full path (Tools --> Options --> Advanced --> Network --> Connection).

Got TiVo

Got TiVo yesterday. Java API being made available made me buy TiVo. I am already impressed by what I can do with my TiVo.
One problem is that the software on latest TiVo is still 5.3.x and 7.1 is required to use java api. So signed up to priority list and waiting for the upgrade to occur. (Was told this might take several weeks).
