Scrap the Book

I was a excited when Google brought out Google-Notebook along with its corresponding plugin for Firefox. I don't have an always on unlimited broadband connection so when I read a page I like to save it for offline reading so now I did not have to read or search through whole website for what I was looking for .
Then things took a turn for the better I discovered a plugin (addon) Scrapbook.It is a nifty little tool which helps save just what you like for offline reference, it is a invaluable tool which in fact makes it worth it to switch to Firefox altogether.

• You can save a whole page or just the portion of the page you are reading using Ctrl+Shift+L or Ctrl+Shift+K combination or even all of the open tabs.
• You can erase the irrelevant portions out of the saved pages and combine multiple pages to make sense out of articles spread over dozens of pages interspersed with frivolities.
• Shifting the whole stuff to another PC that can be done using the import/export feature of this amazing plugin.

If some of you needed another excuse to shift to Firefox from IE6/7 this is it, or you are student who needs to do research or a chap who likes his drink and food ..new recipes ,wine etiquette ..you just find the stuff you need on net and save it for the times to come.. the use this addon with Firefox and you will thank the chaps who made it and me (Hey give me an some credit, I told you about Scrapbook didn't I).

A better Winamp?

No I am not talking about Winamp5.xx ’all-in-one’ player,. If you have been using Winamp since the start, moved through to Winamp2.xx , give Winamp3 a shot and hated its instability then good news is here in form of AIMP₂ Player (present version is 2.11) by Artem Inzamaylov and his team at http://www.aimp.ru. Yes this is a Russian audioplayer and free to the boot (reminds me of AK-47- simple, robust, reliable, no space age materials or design; just solid engineering) .So what else is good- simple and nice layout, easy to use, light on resources, has a great ripper, nice tagger and a Great sound; AIMP₂ Player takes the cake and is my default music player now. Give it a shot and you will love it.. you will thank me for finding, trying and recommending it (just kidding- last line is hyperbole) , no I am not being paid for the review just my quest for better music player has been so long that I am too excited to contain the happiness. For those who like to tweak you ca download AIMP SE a skinning tool...

An update:
do use Enhancer 0.17 plugin for even better sound
(download it from Winamp site, 
  run it as an administrator and 
  copy contents into AIMP plugin folder
  run AIMP₂, open equalizer , 
  click on AIMP effects and select enhancer 0.17 from dropdown menu)
