Five most useful Firefox extensions so far…

Following are a list of Firefox extensions which I found extremely useful in my line of work.

  • IE Tab : ‘This is a great tool for web developers, since you can easily see how your web page displayed in IE with just one click and then switch back to Firefox.’
  • Web Developer: ‘Adds a menu and a toolbar with various web developer tools.’
  • Color Zilla: ‘Advanced Eyedropper, ColorPicker, Page Zoomer and other colorful goodies…’
  • HTML Validator: ‘HTML Validator is a Mozilla extension that adds HTML validation inside Firefox and Mozilla. The number of errors of a HTML page is seen on the form of an icon in the status bar when browsing. The extension can validate the HTML sent by the server or the HTML in the memory (after Ajax execution) …’
  • Firebug: ‘Firebug integrates with Firefox to put a wealth of development tools at your fingertips while you browse. You can edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page…’

Shakespeare Vs. Dylan

‘The fact that its popularity has not greatly diminished over time can perhaps be attributed to the fact that while the song asks these questions, it does not refer specifically to any particular political event.’ I’m talking about the song “Blowing in the wind” by Bob Dylan.

‘In 1975, the song was included as poetry in a new high school English textbook in Sri Lanka. The textbook caused controversy because it replaced Shakespeare’s work with Dylan’s.’

My point is how can you compare Shakespeare’s work with Dylan’s? I’m confused. I mean its two diverse scenarios. But when I was schooling I choose to study literature because of these poems (or songs or whatever you want to call it) like ‘Blowing in the wind’ and ‘Eleanor Rigby’, but not because of ‘Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?’
I’m not saying that I don’t like Shakespeare’s work. But that’s how I felt about it at that time.
