沒有它就不行─超好用火狐瀏覽器懶人包

使用火狐已經很久啦，記得大學在那個KKMAN盛行的年代，老是被招喚來修電腦的資工系學長，默默地帶著含蓄的笑容推薦我使用「火狐」，一邊還秀出一大堆厲害功能，當時我只是心中碎念著:「我小女子何德何能要用到這摸多功能~~」(一方面也是懶得學)。怎知隨著KKMAN的龐大身軀，老是害得我的遜電腦當機，改換PCMAN好用多了，但仍是層出不窮的bug。於是我重回火狐的懷抱。

就這樣火狐的免費軟體，開放程式碼使的套件推陳出新，強大到沒有火狐就如同沒有手腳般的不自在呀!今天同事終於使用PCMAN火狐套件，火狐的一機多身，讓她感動的大叫。真是令我莞爾，那順便也來介紹一下我心中每次重灌電腦必裝的火狐必裝套件好啦！
【步驟一】：

火狐安裝頁面

【步驟二】：安裝火狐的手腳──強大套件
1.PCMAN：
BBS是每個大學生熬夜社團的最美好回憶，PTT實業坊更是全台灣所有大學生主力(亦可說是熬夜主力)的最大聚集地，上BBS當然是最重要的！並且何必像老太婆一樣，這邊IE視窗開開，那邊PCMAN關關，火狐幫你全部二機合體!!!

2.DOWNLOAD HELP：
這個是我個人覺得火狐最「神」的套件！只要有它，就可以輕鬆的下載YOUTUBE的影片、或是部落格上外掛的MP3檔，從YOUTUBE等類似視訊網站下載的FLV檔，配以FLVPlayer4free軟體播放，就可以成為自己的視聽資料庫。好處是檔容量小、音質畫質堪可接受，只要YOUTUBE有均可成功下載，據知我弟就常下載吉他教學影片，一看再看。況且此軟體已經從前幾代的FLV檔進階為今日的MP4檔，下載後即可放入i-Pod內，無需特殊轉檔，十分方便。

↑看教學影片或是收藏MV片段 (萬一有卡拉OK版還可以練唱)

3.DownThemAll!：
跟上面的DOWNLOAD HELP異曲同工之妙，不過有別於DOWNLOAD HELP是抓取影像方便，DOWNThemAll則是抓取照片方便，安裝後，只要拖曳著你喜歡的圖片(或是小gif檔)任何網頁HTML的小元件，都可以輕鬆抓取下來。有了它，想要成為抓圖王就不是難事唷!

4.gTranslate：
火狐上的推薦語是這摸說的「「有即時翻譯單字和整篇文章內容的功能；套件是抓取 Google的翻譯功能，免除翻譯還要手動去開啟翻譯的網頁。」遇到不懂的英文單字又懶得上奇摩字典查，這時只要把滑鼠移到單字旁，就會出現單字解釋，實在是方便的直打冷顫啊~~~~~~(請參考「食神」中薛家燕誇張表演法)

5.同文堂：
「簡轉繁」、「繁轉簡」，近來對岸文化力逐漸瘋狂上漲趨勢，如果還不熟悉簡體字，可以考慮安裝此套件，瞬間轉換繁體，讓你少一個步驟。

6.scrapbook
這是我極為推薦的套件喔，安裝後即可下載任何頁面，並且可運用色筆畫註記號、寫上自己的註腳、或是加上超連結，迅速有效吸收網路知識，並且還可匯出匯入，隨時充實自己的知識庫！！！

7.Super Drag and Go
算是懶人套件，可以將想要GOOGLE的文字反白，然後像哈利波特般的拖曳到搜尋列搜尋，就可快速出現答案啦。

8.Add to Search Bar
自設喜愛的搜尋列
火狐內建的搜尋列很方便，但是多是老外習慣用的，例如「ebay」、「亞馬遜書店」等等，當然不適合國人呀。也不是正確的適合每個網友。安裝此套件可以輕鬆將網站設為自己的搜尋列。
另外附上一到三屆的TOP15票選，也可以看看好用套件如何增加發展 ^^
第一屆TOP15票選
第二屆TOP15票選
第三屆TOP15票選

鬼魅般的迷幻─Portishead

初聽見這首歌是因為知名的美國影集The L Word，這部劃時代的影集素質時好時壞，配樂也跟買股票一樣，一下芭樂一下經典，跟著The L Word從第一季聽到第六季，好歌爛歌也一併聽了...。而Portishead就是眾多原聲帶中閃閃發亮的一顆明星。

Portishead-Road
看女主唱Beth Gibbons駝著背瞇著眼唱歌，看她唱歌比聽她唱歌更能陷入昏迷(喔不!是迷幻)




Portishead來自英國城市Bristol，號稱是Brit-pop中的翹楚，1994年發行的第一章專輯「Dummy」被滾石音樂雜誌選為「五百大專輯」的第419名，音樂類型被歸類為Trip-POP，網友音速青春這樣解釋

Trip-POP： 雖可廣義歸類為電氣音樂，卻難以聞之起舞，最宜用藥後冥想之旅時搭配聆聽，史家稱這類曲風為Trip-Hop。

【專輯列表】
1. Dummy (1994年)
2. Portishead同名專輯 (1997年)
3. 玫瑰島紐約現場演唱會Roseland NYC Live (1998年)
上述YOUTUBE的影片即為此次演唱會版。
4. Third (2008年)

聆聽的感動大過於千言萬語，除了「Road」這首讓我驚艷的歌曲之外，也推薦看倌們進階的另外幾首，也許能在Beth Gibbons的鬼魅華麗嗓音中，找到迷幻的迷妙力量，但首先，先確定你擁有好的重音喇叭或是一副優質耳機。

前M2M窈窕美眉團員，So Lovely的 Marit Larsen

曾是M2M窈窕美眉成員之一的清新女聲Marit Larsen，看她彈吉他會被深深吸引唷。
◎M2M：來自挪威的雙人女子流行音樂組合。團員有Marion Raven和Marit Larsen（或者Marit Eliyabeth Larsen）。組合在1990年代中期成立，最終於2002年拆分。 2000年發佈的專輯《Shades of Purple》使她們成為挪威排行第一的音樂組合。此張專輯全球共銷售兩百萬張CD。(摘自wiki)

耳熟能詳的歌曲有：Don't Say You Love Me、Pretty Boy，一講開始懷念這些少女時代聽到爛掉的芭樂歌曲，所以Marit Larsen再次出輯，勾起我的那些藍色大門回憶呢

主打歌The Chase

【The Chase】歌詞

When the leaves fell down you were my lover Winter taught me you were my friend When the spring came 'round I'd often wonder Will the summer bring you back again? But now I know With you it's about the chase You're not getting anything from me With you it's about the chase You're not getting anything from me I try to find a new direction You wait on every corner turn But the minute I ask your attention You turn on your heels and I get burned At least I know At least I know With you it's about the chase You're not getting anything from me With you it's about the chase You're not getting anything, getting anything, getting anything from me Like day and night I know as much as you With you it's about the chase Still every path, it leads me back to you With you it's about the chase It's like a disease, I am not doing well I know it's not easy but it's easy to tell It's easy to tell It's easy to tell with you, yeah With you it's about With you it's about the chase You're not getting anything from me With you it's about the chase You're not getting anything, getting anything, getting anything today With you it's about the chase

另一首可愛的輕快歌曲If A Song Could Get Me You
分別有mv版、頒獎典禮版、及水果攤版，mv版搭上了電影「微笑馬戲團」的主打歌







頒獎典禮版也很棒，人美加上彈吉他才華，讓畫面更舒服



再來是可愛的水果攤版，用玩具小鋼琴彈歌曲一開始的伴奏，曲中間加上木吉他隨性伴奏，等到畫面一被拉開呢，才發現旁邊還站著一個大鬍子伴奏還加合音，真是驚喜，別忘記左邊還有個路人貌以鐵三角加強旋律，當然啦，這首美妙的歌曲怎麼可以少了觀眾？攤子右前方就是賴著不肯走的可愛小孩兩枚呢！

【If A Song Could Get Me You】 歌詞

I could try you with a waltz I could try you rock and roll I could try you with the blues If a song would do I could sing it high or low When I let you go you know I thought it was for the best Now it is so obvious So here it is, here it goes I could try rock and roll I would change your life forever too If a song could get me you I could make it high or low Sing it on the radio If that is what I need to do If a song could get me you I could run for miles and miles I'd take off and I'd start flying I could cross land and sea If you just believe me I should not have hurt you so This old house is not a home Without you here, there's no use I've got no time left to lose So here it is, here it goes I could try rock and roll I would change your life forever too If a song could get me you I could make it high or low Sing it on the radio If that is what I need to do If a song could get me you If a song could get me through I'd sing my way, right back to you Tell me how, to make it right Tell me now, I'll start tonight I know I could make it last I swear to you that if I knew What I was getting myself into I wouldn't answer to my fears I'd never leave you standing there Just look at me If you'd only see me I would prove my love for you I could swallow half the moon Just tell me where, tell me when I will have you back again So here it is, here it goes I could try rock and roll I would change your life forever too If a song could get me you I could make it high or low Sing it on the radio If that is what I need to do If a song could get me you So here it is, here it goes I could try rock and roll I would change your life forever too If a song could get me you I could make it high or low Sing it on the radio If that is what I need to do If a song could get me you
