Convert Currencies

Filed under: Quick Tools

Added a simple currency calculator that covers, I guess, all currencies throughout the world. There is an unknown time delay, probably a few hours but not more than a day. Because of this delay, and perhaps a few minor inaccuracies on occasion, this calculator should only be used to get a general idea of current currency valuations. Read: Not to be used for any sort of business or financial transactions.

Enhanced searching with Firefox

Filed under: Mozilla

Feature For: Those who are too lazy to sit in their chair and wait a second or two for the contents of a web page to load when they click on the top-ranking page listed within Google’s search results.

Yes, instead of having to add extra seconds to your uncomfortable life of sitting in front of a computer, the contents of certain top ranking web pages will be prefetched when the actual search engine results are displayed.

Now Google’s faster than ever on Firefox and Mozilla browsers. When you do a search on these browsers, we instruct them to download your top search result in advance, so if you click on it, you’ll get to that page even more quickly.

Auto Copy - Firefox Extension

Filed under: Mozilla

Tool For: Those who are too lazy to highlight text and press ctrl-C.

Simple yet a very handy tool. Nothing sucks more than having to move your fingers over to hold down the control key and then pressing C to copy that text you highlighted. With this tool, all you have to do is highlight the text with your mouse cursor and that’s it. Still have to press CTRL-V to paste however :( . Maybe something is in the works for that as we speak.

Unicode Ascii Character Map For HTML

Filed under: HTML

Lazy Tool For: Those who want to quickly find the right html command for special characters without having to dig through pdf files or search engine results.

Many designers out there want to add a little flair to their pages and titles with special characters that will grab the user’s attention; whether it be on links, directories, or header tags. Most resources out there just list them in poorly done tables or pdf files. With Lazy Tool’s map, you only have to click, copy, and paste.

All you have to do is click on the box that contains the character you want and the proper html command will appear in the text boxes below. You can choose to copy the numeric or named form. Copy, paste and that’s it.

Depending on your configuration some characters might not display in Internet Explorer. All appear in Firefox using the default setting.
