Host-only networking stopped working after the VirtualBox 4.04 upgrade. After searching far and wide, I found this post that recommending reinstalling the whole shooting match....viola, I'm back in business!
The pool got up to 76 degrees today. I uncovered it to put in some shock and sweep it and took a quick lap across after jumping off the fountain..lol...the garden is going nuts. We bought a new key lime tree plus some landscaping rocks in the front yard. Spring is here!

In me never ending quest for the ultimate browser start page, I'm giving Pageflakes a try. The interface is very similar to iGoogle or "My Yahoo" personalized start pages. I thought I'd try something that's off the corporate bandwagon.

Eclipse is storing the workspace information in a preferences file called "org.eclipse.ui.ide.prefs". This file is located under "%ECLIPSE_HOME%\configuration\.settings" and contains a key named "RECENT_WORKSPACES". The value of this key contains a comma separated list of workspaces, more precisely the path to the workspaces. If you delete one of the entries, it'll disappear from the workspace launcher.
I find myself squinting more and more when I read blogs on the internet, but I hate the lower Windows display resolutions (I'm using 1400x900). Firefox has built in keyboard shortcuts for zooming (CTRL+/CTRL-), but I find them clumsy to use...also, you have to repeat this for every page you view.
I found a Firefox extension named Default FullZoom Level that meets my needs perfectly. I can set the default zoom to 125% so I don't need to change it on every page I view, and I can easily change the zoom by clicking CTRL, or CTRL. for zooming in and out respectively. Those shortcuts are more user friendly for me than Firefox's default ones, and the default zoom level is a life saver.
