Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II
Posted in All on July 26th, 2005 · 6 Comments
Today I finally received my order from Digital Foto Club. Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens and 52mm circular polarizer. Somehow they forgot to put the lens hood in the box. This issue still needs to be cleared out.

Dictionary plugins for Mozilla Firefox
Posted in All on July 26th, 2005 · 2 Comments
Being a non-native English speaker, I have this mildly often need to lookup the translation of some word in the dictionary. Instead of installing translation software on my computer or visiting one of the online translators every time such a need arises, I chose to use an extension to Mozilla Firefox.
Until now I was using the DictionarySearch extension, which can be configured to lookup in several different dictionaries, encyclopedias, etc. I was mostly happy with the extension, but felt that it could be improved simplified. I didn’t need all those configurations, choices and such. All I wanted was to lookup the translation of either English or Russian word in the Yandex Lingvo.
Today I came across an extension which does exactly that. Lingvo Online! for Mozilla Firefox is a very small and simple extension which does exactly what I want. It adds a context menu which allows quick lookups of selected words.
Outstanding!
